R. L. Moore on teaching Math
This post is from Las Vegas on a Blackberry so forgive typos etc.
One of the items we discussed with Jim Lemke was the disgraceful state of affairs that students find themselves in when faced with their lack of math skills. This is not the fault of the student. It is however a result of the way math is taught. Jim is working on changing the way students are exposed to the concepts of math and he has adopted the teaching methods of R. L. Moore. Jim is working with five universities, including Harvard, to spread the word about the best way to learn anything!
Imagine learning in an environment that prohibits lectures, textbooks, and collaboration with other students. The method requires students to solve problems on their own. You should look into Moores' work and concepts.
