Argumentation Calculus Teaching

Thats in part because algebra is considered a critical point in the race to calculus. Critics also challenged the arguments and data used by the district to justify the policy. It shows that a common argument against detracking that it hurts students by holding them back from higher level math courses is wrong, Iwasaki says.

That’s the argument of Peter Liljedahl, a professor of mathematics education at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, who has spent years researching what works in teaching. These are the students who end up hitting a wall when math courses move from easier algebra to more advanced concepts in, say, calculus, he argues. “At

But his book, and that demo, are also attracting some pushback from teaching experts who think AI may have lots of uses in education, but that tutoring should be reserved for humans who can motivate and understand the students they work with. In fact, we said, ‘Hey, this could be really valuable in a teaching setting.’

Another common argument is that homework helps students develop skills related to problem-solving, time-management and self-direction. They can stop teaching to the test and educate parents on why they are doing so. But these skills can be explicitly taught during the school day rather than after school.

My argument is that computer science was originally invented to be taught to everyone, but not for economic advantage. Elliot wanted us to think about “Who could use what we have to teach, but might not even enter our classroom?”. Alan Perlis (first ACM Turing Award laureate) made a different argument in his chapter.

As I teach my Linear Algebra and Differential Equations class this semester, which uses more computing than ever, I'm thinking even more about these topics. Second, I’ve been using computers and software more and more in my teaching. Instead, bring it in and teach students how to use it well.

Similarly, reformers have focused on the timing of the course, aiming to enroll students as early as possible to open pathways to calculus and to diversify access to higher level mathematics. However, absent from the discussions of access, timing, and relevance of school algebra has been a focus on instruction. 2005; Jacobs et al.,
