A practitioner's perspective on math, education & change.
The Argument for Problem Solving First
Engaging students in problem solving before instruction increases learning of mathematics. Analyze the evidence from published studies and get ideas on how to incorporate this instructional approach in your own math classroom.
According to research: Corequisite results over time
It’s easy to perceive corequisite remediation is a subpar substitute for a full developmental math course. The “just in time” approach doesn’t appear to provide students with the natural development of all the topics we believe are necessary to fully understand mathematics. However, the data doesn’t bear this out. tudents are more successful having taken a corequisite, not only in the college level math course needed but also with other metrics like graduation and motivation
