Application Driving Learning in Differential Equations - 2015 Jan 12 - JMM
30 May 2015 | Contributor(s): Brian Winkel
We discuss a flipping of the learning in which application comes before the introduction of the mathematics. In a differential equations course in which modeling is the driving force and technology is used throughout the learning process we demonstrate how a learning community at...

Differential Equations Taught in an Original Way - 2015 Jan 10 - JMM
30 May 2015 | Contributor(s): Brian Winkel
Application and modeling are beyond manipulation and solving in a differential equations course. We use modeling scenarios to drive the learning and to the mathematical concepts and techniques in a collegial learning community called SIMIODE - Systemic Initiative for Modeling Investigations and...

Modeling Opportunities with Differential Equations in the Classroom - MathFest 2013
30 May 2015 | Contributor(s): Brian Winkel
We demonstrate a number of mathematical modeling activities for motivating and learning differential equations using modeling and technology. We shall engage those present in at least one modeling activity and demonstrate others. These include population modeling with M&M’s (simple and...

Sylvanus Thayer Flipped Out Method Ahead of Its Time - JMM 2014
30 May 2015 | Contributor(s): Brian Winkel
Sylvanus Thayer is dead, but the Thayer Method of teaching – modified as with all things – lives on at West Point. We discuss how students come to class prepared from reading and attempted scaffolded activities before class and how that energizes the classroom activities and...
