A Toolbox for...Innovative Ideas for Teaching Senior High Mathematics
Sharing a landscape of informative ways to engage high school math students in learning abstract concepts. As the high school course content increases in abstract concepts and symbolic notations, many students ask the 'why are we learning this?' question. Both the history of mathematics and current applications can provide context that can help teachers' answer this question. Resources and approaches for high school content will be shared at this session. The aim is to provide more content and tools for teachers to broaden their own depth and breadth of the mathematics curriculum that can be valuable for the professional work of teaching mathematics.
