Instructional Emphasis The course is designed to include and promote methods of discovery, problem solving, collaboration, and presentation of results. Ultimately, Functions and Modeling is intended to make students think critically; thus, it should not be delivered in a purely lecture format. Students should consistently work in groups of three or four to collaborate in developing results. Groups should be shuffled a few times over the semester to foster new collaborations and fresh ideas. Each exploration of the course presents an opportunity for the instructor to emphasize and connect mathematics content and concepts. The instructor should make it clear to students that they should be open to viewing some of the mathematics they have previously experienced with a new perspective and an open mind.Although this is not primarily an education course, the instructor should strive to emphasize content connections within the mathematics of secondary curriculum. The instructor should also model the dissemination of mathematics content through the use of Socratic questioning, facilitation of student explorations, and inquiry-based activities.
