Pedagogical Shifts: TRANSFORM, Moving from Traditional to Student-centered

Shifting from Memorization to Higher-Level Thinking

Shifting from Competitive to Collaborative Learning.

Here is an activity from Ben Luchkow at EPS.

Rational Equations and Graphs Activity

This is a nice activity to support the Mathematical processes of Reasoning, Communication, Connections and Problem Solving. I like that it is a conceptual activity rather than just numbers. This promotes understanding of the concepts of points of discontinuity or vertical asymptotes is a very interactive way.

Check out the second part of the activity, it really makes students think!
