Teaching Students to Experiment in Linear Algebra
Join Dr. Judi McDonald of Washington State University to explore how interactive mathematics figures can be used to encourage students to experiment with ideas and create conjectures.
Dr. Judi McDonald, Washington State University
In this session, Dr. McDonald will demonstrate ways that interactive mathematics figures can be used in the classroom to encourage students to experiment with ideas and create conjectures. When students explore how mathematics works and draw their own conclusions, they build their interest in the subject and a deeper understanding of linear algebra fundamentals.
