5 Burning Questions to Math Teachers and Math Students

For Teachers:

1. Did you have enough time & were you given enough time to cover the course curriculum?
2. How much time is devoted to instruction vs. seat-work in any given class?
3. What visual methods do you use in class?
4. How do you deal with consistencies or inconsistencies in notation?
5. What is your best advice to us as beginning Math teachers?

For Students:

1. How much do you like math & how comfortable are you with using it? and why?
2. How much do you remember from last year's math course and do you see a use for this knowledge in the future?
3. Did the teacher go at your pace and cover all the material?
4. How well did the final exam reflect your course work?
5. What is one thing you didn't like about your previous teacher's instructing style?

Notes:

I feel these questions are easy and will get to the heart of the perspectives of students and teachers on the subject of math and math instruction. Feel free to comment, but please respect the privacy of any person whom is the subject of your response.
