It takes longer but student-centered teaching model can turn passive learners into interactive partners in their own development. The traditional, Teacher-Centered Approach Picture a class learning how to multiply mixed fractions. Traditionally a teacher stands at […]

There are two common issues that students encounter when learning new mathematical concepts: visualization and relevance to their own lives. First, let’s take a look at visualization (pun intended). Here’s a great example of how Doceri can help students look a little deeper into a two dimensional plane that, at first glance appears to just be a […]

During the summer of 2013, I interviewed successful classroom flippers Jessica Rice and Megan Ahlberg. Together they have flipped their pre-calculus classrooms and made screencasts for intermediate algebra support classes at Kennedy High School in Bloomington, Minnesota. They began their journey in the fall of 2011, because they wanted more class time to directly support […]

Guest Post by Monica Burns I love using video clips from Khan Academy and MathTrain to kick off math lessons! It grabs my students’ attention and is perfect for changing up our usual routine. With Doceri I can take my use of tutorials to a new level – by having students create their own. It’s important that […]

It’s back to school time in America, and students all over the country are starting new schools – and finding the best routes to ride home on their bikes. Well, assuming they ride straight home! Here’s a math game to try. How many routes can this student find to bike home, following the one-way streets? […]
