Andy Long's Classes

From a 4th-grade art classroom handout:

FACE: there are certain goals that we must strive to achieve everyday:

• Focus
• Attitude
• Creativity
• Effort

every day we come to class. All of these work together: when you improve one, the others will improve as well.

Spring, 2024:

• mat115: Math for Liberal Arts
• mat115R: Math for Liberal Arts
• mat128: Calculus A
• mat360: Numerical Analysis

"Modern Thanksgiving": the modern classroom as well?

  1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
  2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
  3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
  4. Model with mathematics.
  5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
  6. Attend to precision.
  7. Look for and make use of structure.
  8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
