Teaching

Over the last few years, I become very interested in Inquiry-Based-Learning (IBL) and now use it almost exclusively in all my classes. I very strongly believe that IBL techniques can help boost student confidence, achievement and interest in mathematics. As a result, I very rarely lecture in my classes anymore.  I believe that students learn mathematics best when they are actively doing mathematics, so I see my role in the classroom to be a guide or coach, helping my students work through the material instead of the “sage on the stage” who tells my students what to do.
