Mazur, Kristen; Taylor, Laura – PRIMUS, 2022
According to the MAA Instructional Practices Guide, deep learning requires student engagement with content both inside and outside the classroom. Hence, mathematics instructors must work to engage students in the learning experience. Higher education research often equates engaged learning and active learning, but what does engaged learning mean…

Prabhu, Sunitha – PRIMUS, 2022
Teaching Mathematics to tertiary students can be a challenge to educators, mainly because they must deal with learners' varying levels of readiness. Some of the factors attributing to the variability are learners' perceptions of mathematics, their previous learning experiences, and fear of failure. We implemented a teaching approach to facilitate…

Hwang, Jihye; Castle, Sarah D.; Karunakaran, Shiv Smith – PRIMUS, 2022
Collegiate mathematics instructors are moving away from traditional lecture-based teaching practices to accommodate the pedagogies that support more active student learning. As part of the movement, groupwork has been increasingly implemented. At the same time, mathematics classrooms have become increasingly diverse and also in the distribution of…

Chamberlain, D.; Grady, A.; Keeran, S.; Knudson, K.; Manly, I.; Shabazz, M.; Stone, C.; York, A. – PRIMUS, 2021
In this note, we describe a large-scale transition to an active learning format in first-semester calculus at the University of Florida. Student performance and attitudes are compared across traditional lecture and flipped sections.

Álvarez, James A. M.; Kercher, Andrew; Turner, Kyle; Arnold, Elizabeth G.; Burroughs, Elizabeth A.; Fulton, Elizabeth W. – PRIMUS, 2022
We describe the design and implementation of lessons in undergraduate abstract algebra that integrate applications to teaching high school mathematics. Each lesson consists of a pre-activity, class activity, homework set, assessment questions and detailed instructor notes. The included applications intend to bridge advanced mathematics concepts to…

Bruder, Andrea; Kohler, Brynja R. – PRIMUS, 2020
Although modeling is an integral process in applied mathematics, students rarely encounter modeling opportunities in their calculus courses. We introduce a laboratory experience as a starting point for calculus students to investigate multivariable functions. A layered system of coffee and milk serves as a physical model for temperature gradients…

Calkins, Susanna; Grannan, Sharisse; Siefken, Jason – PRIMUS, 2020
This study explores the impact of Peer-Assisted Reflection (PAR), a structured active learning strategy that emphasizes peer feedback and reflection, on students' perceptions of mathematical thinking, and of the roles their peers and their instructors play in their learning process. This study also examines the impact of PAR on the students'…

Boyce, Steven; O'Halloran, Joyce – PRIMUS, 2020
We describe the process of adjusting the balance between computer-based learning and peer interaction in a college algebra course. In our first experimental class, students used the adaptive-learning program ALEKS within an emporium-style format. Comparing student performance in the emporium format class with that in a traditional lecture format…

Lucas, Krista L.; Lucas, Timothy A. – PRIMUS, 2022
It is increasingly important for mathematics students to engage in active learning along with discussion of material with their peers. "Slopes" is a mobile application designed to visualize solutions to differential equations and support active learning in the classroom. We implemented group activities using "Slopes" into an…

Patterson, Brian; McBride, C. Rett; Gieger, J. Lynn – PRIMUS, 2018
We explored the effectiveness of a flipped active learning pedagogy in a liberal arts mathematics course without video or interactive preparation. In both control and active learning classes, students were required to respond to a reading before class and take a quiz after class. During the active learning class, students worked together in groups…

Research indicates multi-section coordination improves the academic performance of students in STEM education. This paper describes the process of coordination in Precalculus, Calculus 1, and Calculus 2 courses undertaken by a large department that grew from the merger of two institutions through a pilot program and a project grant. Components…

Peters, Travis; Johnston, Elgin; Bolles, Heather; Ogilvie, Craig; Knaub, Alexis; Holme, Thomas – PRIMUS, 2020
Team-Based Learning (TBL) uses a flipped classroom model and involves students working collaboratively in small groups, with peer assessments to promote group accountability. We implemented TBL in Calculus I in both large (N [tilde] 150) and small (N [tilde] 35) class settings. We investigated the impact of this form of instruction over two…

Ellington, Roni; Barber, Janet; Tannouri, Ahlam; Syafrida, Syafrida; Nkwanta, Asamoah – PRIMUS, 2021
In this paper, we provide a report of preliminary findings of the Morgan State University (MSU) Student Engagement in Mathematics through an Institutional Network for Active Learning (SEMINAL) project and its focus on culturally responsive teaching (CRT) as an active learning framework for pre-calculus instruction. The paper concludes with a…

Pilgrim, M. E.; Gehrtz, J. – PRIMUS, 2018
In an effort to improve upon Calculus I instruction at our institution, we designed a pilot study that incorporated a variety of evidence-based classroom practices. The goal was not to formally test known successful teaching interventions. Rather, the purpose was to develop and identify course materials and instructional methods that would not…

El Turkey, Houssein; Tang, Gail; Savic, Milos; Karakok, Gulden; Cilli-Turner, Emily; Plaxco, David – PRIMUS, 2018
A growing body of mathematics education research points to the importance of fostering students' mathematical creativity in undergraduate mathematics courses. However, there are not many research-based instructional practices that aim to accomplish this task. Our research group has been working to address this issue and created a formative…
