Abstract: Active learning is the teaching methodology where lessons encourage students to actively participate, rather than just passively listen. In this highly interactive session, some cognitive science and education theory is presented, followed by a catalogue of examples of using strategies to make math (or quantitative science) classes more engaging. Strategies covered include motivating math through modelling, scaffolding, gamification, and other explicit tools to use in a classroom. By the end of this workshop, the audience may create their own mini-math lesson.
