However, the modeling process and its applications havestrong engineering implications. This section provides a few example topics for classroominstruction that could potentially follow this tournament analysis within a high school Page 24.930.9engineering course, along with future extensions planned for the current curriculum. Examples of well-established engineering applications involving the use of Bernoulli trialsand binomial and geometric distributions reside in the practice of quality control. In a large batchof

The worksheets contain definitions, theorems, and procedures as well as theexample problems (without solutions) that we plan to discuss in class. Frequently we ask studentsto attempt a problem prior to a discussion on it. This approach allows students to take an activerole in doing linear algebra problems rather than be passive observers. In the interactiveworksheets, the examples the students are asked to work include basic computations, applicationsof theory, and applications in specific contexts. The following are excerpts

puta lot of effort in reducing the dropout rate of part-time engineering students, particularly focusingon dropout that occurs during the freshmen year. With this objective in mind and knowing that thestudents’ experience with the first calculus course is an important variable that may lead a studentto abandon his career plan, we decided to implement active learning methodologies [6] to teachthat course to part-time students. As [7] states, active learning methodologies may directlyinfluence social integration and indirectly affect the student’s dropout decision.In this paper, we introduce what we call Guided-Lecture Team Based Learning (GL-TBL), whichis a learning methodology whose core relies on the well-known Team Based Learning (TBL

The two key recommendations that weremade and the actions taken to implement them are: (1) Offer a different version of this course for MATH108 students with fewer topics and more in-depth study of pre-calculus topics. Newer topics such as Complex Numbers and Matrix Algebra would also be added. We plan to

approach suggestedby Polya in How to Solve It8. Polya boils problem solving down to four simple steps thatprovide an algorithm to approaching any type of complex problem. These are: 1) understand theproblem; 2) devise a plan; 3) carry out the plan; and 4) look back and evaluate your results andprocess. The emphasis on evaluating progress against goal is helpful, in particular, for lessexperienced students when dealing with larger-scale problems. However, students still haveissues with evaluating the correctness, or reasonableness of their answers, often because theyhave not developed the often estimation- based skills necessary to support the development ofmathematical intuition, which would guide their judgment. Consequently, we knew we needed

development occurs through engagementin tool-mediated activities that allow for social interactions. Several studies use Vygotsky’snotion of mediation to explain learners’ interactions with technological tools in mathematicalactivities [for example, 4, 5-7]. Technological tools mediate learners’ activity and provideadditional tools and signs that can support students’ mathematical discourse and building ofmeaning. Helping students construct mathematical meaning while interacting with mathematicaltools requires teachers to carefully plan and implement how their students engage inmathematical activities. However, for mathematics teachers’ to use technological tools in theirclassrooms effectively, they need to learn how to use the tools. This creates a
