It's a new year. Classes will be filled with students who don't remember much about math and aren't interested in understanding it except for getting a decent grade. The more a teacher knows about his students' abilities, anxieties, knowledge and previous experiences will go a long way toward his students' success.
So David Peterson, a.k.a. @calcdave, came up with this fantastic questionnaire. The questions are thought-provoking. The answers to the questions can be enlightening for teachers. I'm passing this along to a dual-credit college algebra and calculus teacher I know to see what responses he gets. This teacher thought it would be a great idea to make one for his college algebra classes, as well. Can't wait for the results.
Thanks David, for helping get this year off to a fun start!
