When this author first began to take classes in theater and comedy improvisation, his motives were largely creative and social, though there was some supposition that his mathematics teaching (at a community college) could benefit as well. Students are known to tout their favorite teachers as "funny." Taking improv classes would presumably loosen…

Rotman, Jack – MathAMATYC Educator, 2012
Learning is obviously a student responsibility... the learning environment is obviously the responsibility of faculty (supported by the institution). "Beyond Crossroads" (Chapter 4) lists recommendations and standards in both areas. Current approaches to developmental mathematics offer methodologies that address those standards and bring a…

Sorensen, Ian – MathAMATYC Educator, 2012
For a period of four semesters, the possibility was explored of using a "group quiz" as a learning activity that provides a collaborative learning environment, a review of the previous week's material, and a formative assessment for both the student and the instructor. Using both quantitative (i.e., student surveys) and qualitative (i.e., student…

Sitomer, Ann; Strom, April; Mesa, Vilma; Duranczyk, Irene Mary; Nabb, Keith; Smith, John; Yannotta, Mark – MathAMATYC Educator, 2012
The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) recently adopted a five-year strategic plan, "Opening Doors through Mathematics" (www.amatyc.org/documents/strategicplans.htm) that describes five priorities. The second of these priorities highlights the need for research on student learning. In this article, the authors propose…

McFarland, Jenny – MathAMATYC Educator, 2010
As a college biology instructor, I often see graphs in lab reports that do not meet my expectations. I also observe that many college students do not always adequately differentiate between good and poor (or misleading) graphs. The activity described in this paper is the result of my work with students to improve their graphing literacy. The…

Collins, Ruth; Winnington, Darlene – MathAMATYC Educator, 2010
Many students see mathematics as a required, but unpleasant subject. They perceive mathematics as isolated, having no relationship to life, no relationship to future career needs, and no connections to other college courses. Student attitudes and beliefs in mathematics quite often block the knowledge that we as instructors want them to obtain.…
