Day 1

After an introduction and talking about our goals for the seminar, we defined a few terms:

Preview: Introduce the topic AND engage the student.
Teach: Teacher coordinates learning of new material.
Review: Student-led discussion about or practice of material.
Reteach: Teacher-led discussion about or practice of material.
Proficiency: Being able to complete a task 90% of the time.

We also began to look at the incomes and outcomes we expect (in a perfect world) for each level in middle and high school math.

Activities:

1. methods/strategies of teaching factoring
2. Pass the Buck
3. working with TI-nspire CAS
