Tactile Visualization Techniques for Teaching Calculus

Julie Barnes ⟨jbarnes@wcu.edu⟩

Abstract:

In this session, we will look at a wide variety of hands-on activities that could be used to help students better visualize and understand calculus. Many of these activities use fun props, like feather boas, toys, food, and craft items. We will discuss how to use these kinds of activities in your class, how these activities benefit students, and how to modify or develop new activities for your teaching needs. We will physically do most of these activities throughout the session as well.
