MURFREESBORO — A
different style of teaching math to K-12 students will be the focus of the next
“MTSU On the Record” radio program.
Host Gina Logue’s interview with Jeremy Strayer and James
Hart, associate professors of mathematical science, will air from 8 to 8:30 p.m.
Monday, Nov. 7, and from 6 to 6:30 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 13, on WMOT-FM/Roots Radio
89.5 and www.wmot.org.
With assistant professor Sarah Bleiler-Baxter, Strayer and
Hart wrote “Kick-Starting Discussions with the Flipped Classroom,” which was
published in the May 2016 edition of Mathematics Teacher magazine. The
four-phase process propels young math students to the forefront in driving
classroom discussions and presentations.
“We were seeking a model that was going to give us a level
playing field for all of the students and also to help us teach mathematics the
way we do mathematics,” Strayer said.
“It isn’t that the teacher … steps into the background,”
said Hart. “It’s that the work of the teacher changes so that the teacher now
becomes someone who asks questions that will try to draw out student thinking.”
