College Mathematics Teaching, Only Mostly Insane. Readings for Math Teachers. An IBL Special Interest Group of the MAA. July 2, 2015. Over the last five to ten years, the number of people interested in using Inquiry Based Learning. Techniques in college mathematics classrooms has grown rapidly. Naturally, a lot of those people are members of the Mathematical Association of America. The MAA has a structure, called a SIGMAA. Remember that the “Member Plus” membership category. And get off my cape.

College Mathematics Teaching, Only Mostly Insane. Readings for Math Teachers. Change of assessment: SBG and Specs down. August 17, 2015. In the last few years, I have experimented with different types of assessment strategies. In particular, I used something that would be recognizable as Standards Based Grading, and something that would be recognizable as Specifications Grading. But this term, for at least one course, I am abandoning both. My best course is. If you want to peek, go here. Send to Email Ad...

Rod Library at UNI. Standing on the Tables. As there were no available giants. Hitchman’s Feedback Form. December 6, 2013. Comments No Comments on Week Fourteen Progress. This week we had the following successes:. Miss Schlumbohm shared the following conjecture about task 10.2:. Conjecture (Schlumbohm): In the situation of 10.2, we have twice angle AXB is the same as angle AOB less angle A’OB’. Miss Hemann gave a proof of 10.7. Mr Duhn completed challenge 12.4. Miss Sawada showed 14.2 is a theorem. I hav...

Inquiry Based Learning | Circles and Tangents
https://theronhitchman.wordpress.com/inquiry-based-learning
College Mathematics Teaching, Only Mostly Insane. Readings for Math Teachers. Lately I have been using Inquiry Based Learning in my courses. Fundamentally, this is about engaging students in the mathematical process: requiring them to question, conjecture, argue, and critique. Perhaps the best short-hand is this: students do mathematical research at their own level. More detailed information about Inquiry Based Learning can be found:. The Legacy of RL Moore Project. The Academy of Inquiry Based Learning.

College Mathematics Teaching, Only Mostly Insane. Readings for Math Teachers. It is important to have modern mathematical tools at your disposal, and we are now fortunate enough to have some quality technology that is also free and open-source. The Sage Mathematical Software Project. Is a full computational engine for mathematics built by assembling a large number of other open-source projects into a coherent whole and integrating the popular scripting language Python. It is incredibly good. Post was not...

College Mathematics Teaching, Only Mostly Insane. Readings for Math Teachers. Eugenia Cheng and Knowledge, Belief, and Understanding. August 16, 2015. How to Bake π. It is nice to pick up a bit of mathematics. The part I most enjoyed was in the last few pages. Cheng describes three different viewpoints on truth:. I really like that these are clearly differentiated. Most importantly, she describes the process of mathematical communication really well, and with a useful diagram. (I suppose that a u...And g...

College Mathematics Teaching, Only Mostly Insane. Readings for Math Teachers. An Important Part of Success. January 20, 2016. So far, this term seems to be off to a good start. I realize that one thing I am doing much better this term than last is really important. If I write it down, maybe I will always remember. This is especially important for my largish Math in Decision Making courses (55 students each). But it is also helping set a better tone for my linear algebra class. January 3, 2016. Tomorrow, ...
