Teaching with Interactive Figures
Join Eric Schulz from Walla Walla Community College to discover how using interactive figures can help reach more students, spark their curiosity, and gain a better understanding of the material.
Professor Eric Schulz, Walla Walla Community College
In this session, we’ll discover how using interactive figures can help you reach students who “just don't get it” because they have yet to “see” what you're talking about. We’ll learn how interacting with mathematical figures can open your students’ minds, spark their curiosity, and help them understand what you really want them to know.
