I design research-based lessons rooted in mathematics education learning theories to help students construct knowledge through discovery, active learning, and the use of technology. Below, there are three samples of such lessons that students worked on together in groups during class.Â
An inquiry based learning (IBL) lesson from Linear Algebra. This lesson includes an activity from the Inquiry Oriented Linear Algebra (IOLA) project, adapted for our class.
A lesson from Calculus for Biology and Chemistry majors using Desmos to help refine understanding of the formal definition of derivative.
A lesson from Modern Algebra for math majors to refine understanding and introduce new concepts in higher-level mathematics.
