Mathematical Inquiry With Loops, Jeanne Funk
Mathematical Inquiry With Loops, Jeanne Funk
Open Educational Resources
Mathematical Inquiry with Loops is a fun activity designed to introduce students in LMF101 (First Year Seminar for Liberal Arts: Math and Science) to mathematical exploration and hypothesis formation via hands-on exploration with paper loops. It should make students understand that the “facts” that make up mathematics, are not arbitrary, but arise from observation and experience. It should also encourage students to view mathematics as a science rooted in exploration and problem solving, rather than an esoteric exercise in symbol manipulation.
This activity is designed to be very low stakes (ungraded) and to take one hour of class time. There …

These five units were specifically tailored to foster the mastery of a few selected trigonometry topics that comprise the one credit MA-121 Elementary Trigonometry course. Each unit introduces the topic, provides space for practice, but more importantly, provides opportunities for students to reflect on the work in order to deepen their conceptual understanding.
These units have also been assigned to students of other courses such as pre-calculus and calculus as a review of trigonometric basics essential to those courses.
