Instructional Ideas

Classroom Considerations

  • Module is the result of a collaboration between three universities and many years of editing and crafting

Pros

  • Covers basics of a unit on rational numbers, focusing on transitions and connections between modes of representation
  • Authors of the module assert that users of the module outperform those who use traditional instruction
  • Includes instruction notes in the margin of each individual lesson

Cons

  • The table of contents does not include page numbers, which makes it difficult to organize or navigate the 473-page packet
