Algebra 2.0
Maria H. Andersen, Ph.D.
Troublemaker, Edge of Learning
A dive down a rabbit hole …
Because it was so fun …
138 years of progress …
Since 1878 we’ve changed a little…
We live in a different world, but the
problems haven’t evolved
Data is at our
fingertips, we
would never
calculate this
stuff anymore.
But much of the algebra remains the same
What if we just started over?
https://paulgrzelak.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/burn-a.jp
What kinds of thinking was a course
like algebra meant to foster?
Problem solving
Abstract thinking
Process thinking
Critical thinking
Proving things
ERD – Entity
Relationship
Diagrams
SQL – Structured Query Language
HTML, CSS, Java, SVG
Excel or Google Spreadsheets
Python and r
Swim lanes & Business Process Diagrams
Decision Trees
Information Visualization and Analysis
Let’s build Algebra 2.0
(note: not a fully inclusive list, just a start)
Basic algebraic manipulation
Linear functions
Systems of equations
Exponential functions
Boolean algebra
Algorithms
ER Diagrams
Database queries
Business Information Graphs
Information visualization

Is it real?
Absolutely!
And, it’s tough!
We try to put everything in it!
Transferable?
Often not.
Who takes it?
Students are often
‘underprepared’ for the course.
They can be a

Content Is Everywhere…
What a Student Who
Resisted Learned:
“Not only can you learn on your own,
you already do learn on your own and
you will continue to learn on your own
for your whole life!”
-- Robert Talbert, Chronicle of Higher Education, “An
Inverted Calculus Course: The Overture,” Jan 27, 2014
• Professors Nancy Lape, Karl Haushalter, Rachel Levy and
Darryl Yong received an NSF grant to study the effects of the
flipped classroom on students’ learning… Results suggest the
benefits of flipping a classroom are dubious.
• “If you’re not a good instructor, flipping the classroom won’t
really ensure better learning. If you aren’t doing something to
fill the space, it won’t do you any good.

Another Caveat…
Modern ‘reform’ is taking place at
the wrong end… They put the cart
before the horse, lipstick on the
pig. Group work! Technology!
Inquiry learning! Flipped
classroom!
We need to reform mathematical
substance, not pedagogy… The
question isn’t, “How can we make
students understand Concept X?”
We must ask, “Should we even
teach Concept X in the first place?
If so, why?”

What About Online Classes?
The DOE Is Looking for…
Instructor-initiated,
Regular
and Substantive
Interaction!
$ $$ $
U.S. Department of Education Code of Federal
Regulations, Title 34, Subpart A, Paragraph 602.3
establishes that correspondence courses do not
qualify for Title IV federal financial aid, and that
Distance Education is distinct from Correspondence
Education (2015, p.12).
Similar stipulations exist in the California Department
of Education California Community Colleges Distance
Education California Code of Regulations; and in the
Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior
Colleges (ACCJC) Guide to Evaluating Distance
Education and Correspondence Education.
Define Regular: Instructors shall interact weekly with online
students for a duration equivalent to onsite classes.
Interaction and feedback will be personal (as opposed to
computer-generated).
Define Substantive: Feedback is academic rather than
administrative. Instructors shall initiate scholarly dialogue
and require student-to-student and student-to-teacher
interactions.
Define Interaction: Dynamic synchronous or asynchronous
academic, timely and reactive announcements; chat rooms
with instructor participation; discussion board; e-mails;
messaging; phone calls; review sessions; rubrics; social
networking; video conferences; webcats; webinars;
podcasts; etc.
Define Non-Interactive: Announcements, e-mails,
messages, etc. that are administrative; course
orientations; discussion board messages with non-
academic or administrative content such as generic
praise or clarification of class policies; Internet resources,
links to external sites; computer or publisher-generated
or pre-loaded content; webcasts, webinars, podcasts or
other audio-video material that are generic, impersonal,
passive or non-timely.
How Do You Get It??
• Non-routine problems
• Current events
• Comics, cartoons, movies & videos
• “Hot Tips” for the exams
• Extra Credit
• Group Projects
• Funnel phone calls, e-mails, and ALL student
questions and concerns to a Discussion Forum
• Require participation as part of their grade
• Model the behavior you are trying to get them to
emulate

Mathbook XML and improving the
quality of textbooks
AIM Open Textbook Initiative
The American Institute of Mathematics
(AIM) seeks to encourage the adoption
of open source and open access
mathematics textbooks…The Editorial
Board maintains a list of Approved
Textbooks…
http://aimath.org/textbooks /
You can be more than a consumer!
๏ AIM encourages authors to
provide not only pdf documents,
but also a mechanism for
improving the book.
๏ If authors provide the source files
from which the pdf documents are
produced, the academic
community can directly adapt and
improve the textbooks.
Mathbook XML, a.k.a. MBX
๏ Rob Beezer (U. Puget Sound) has
developed (and continues to develop)
authoring tools for creating textbooks,
specifically open math textbooks.
๏ These tools can convert your (properly
marked-up) source files into pdf’s (via
LaTeX), with textbook publisher
quality output…
Mathbook XML
๏ …but MBX can also convert your text
into html documents (or even ePub
documents) so that you and your
students can view the content on
mobile devices.
๏ The MBX team designs their tools to
help authors attend to accessibility
issues.
๏ MathJax displays the math notation…
Mathbook XML
๏ …and MBX can automatically create
bells and whistles such as
• TOC with hyperlinks
• Index with hyperlinks
• A collection of “Answers to selected
exercises” in the appendix
• Hints, solutions, etc., hidden in “knowls”
knowls
๏ A knowl is link that reveals, by
creating space around it, information
the author wants easily available but
does not want to be initially cluttering
the screen.
๏ Possible uses: Hints, solutions,
definitions, proofs, …

Pie vs. Pi
Helping Students Visualize Radians
๏ Anne Praderas Vance
๏ Austin Community College
๏ anne.vance@austincc.edu
I hate it when students…
๏ …convert everything into degrees, ‘cuz
๏ …have no idea where radian angles
terminate:
"I get 150º, but
5p
6
is just WEIRD."
Like fingernails on a chalkboard
Test grade
= 58
Motivation
Ahh, RADIANS! Students…
…can’t see ‘em.
…can’t draw ‘em.
…can’t think ‘em.
Students need a new way to visualize
fractions, and thus, understand radians.
What is a radian, anyway?
An angle with its vertex at the
center of a circle that intercepts
[yell Whoop if you read this] an
arc on the circle equal in length
to the radius of the circle has a
measure of 1 radian.
Let’s play “The Slice Is Right”
When will = 5 cm (the radius)?
Keep going…
…and going…
…and going…
Ding!
How many radians fill the circle?
Snowboarders could use radians!
๏ Triple Misty: 1080^ 1620< means
6π rotations going up, 9π rotations to the left
๏ Nose Picker: 1080^ 900< means
6π rotations going up, 5π rotations to the left

Visualizing Algebra
๏ by Dr. Natalya Vinogradova
๏ nvinogradova@plymouth.edu
What does the word
algebra mean?
al·ge·bra
Noun: algebra
the part of mathematics in which letters and
other general symbols are used to represent
numbers and quantities in formulae and
equations
Is it really all about symbols?
Then Algebra is a mystery cult,
where strange symbols are used by
those few who belong.
Others are destined to be left forever
oblivious of the meaning of those
SYMBOLS
What is the meaning of the symbol
x2 ?
Is this x · x?
Is this a number multiplied by
itself?
Is this the area of a square
whose side has length x?
Which meaning is more helpful for
a learner?
All of them!
To explain any mathematical
concept we should combine
numbers, words, illustrations, and
symbols.
Unfortunately very little attention
is given to geometric
representations
of algebraic formulas in modern
algebra textbooks.
Next few slides will ask you to
“read pictures”
in words and in symbols.
What do you see?
A square with a side (x + 1) or four rectangles
(x + 1)2 = x2 + 2x + 1
x
x
1
1
What is emphasized
by this shading?
The distributive property of
multiplication over addition
(x + 1)2 = x∙(x + 1) + 1∙(x + 1)
x
x
1
1
What if the same parts
are rearranged?
Consider a rectangle
that encloses all these parts
(x + 1)2 = x∙(x + 3) – 1∙(x – 1)
x
x
1 1 1
x – 1
Here is a different
arrangement.
What is the area of the large rectangle?
x∙2x or 2x2
(x + 1)2 = 2x2 – x∙(x – 2) + 1
x
x
1
1
x – 2
x 1
Can you see the difference
of two consecutive squares?
(x +1)2 – x2 = x + (x + 1) = 2x +1
Does this mean that any odd number is the
difference of two consecutive square numbers?
So which two consecutive square numbers
have the difference of 27?
x
x

These and other ideas on
how to make sense
of algebraic formulas using
illustrations, words and numbers
are presented in my book

Combinations &
Permutations:
Order Mattering Doesn’t Matter
Typical Combination and
Permutation Questions
How many ways can five
students be selected out of a
class of 20?
How many ways can eight
friends sit at a bar with four
chairs?
How many ways can 15 make
a committee of 10, with one
secretary & two co-chairs?
Traditional Method to

Permutations
No
Combinations
Now We Ask Our Students to
Solve a Problem…
Do we use combinations
or permutations?
Combinations!
Permutations!
Problem: How many ways
can we knock down 8 pins?
๏ It’s combinations – order does NOT matter
It’s not our teaching!
๏ “Order mattering” is confusing!
๏ Students will ultimately look for key words
- Sample -> Combinations
- Racing -> Permutations
- Committee -> Combinations
Key words are misleading!
How many ways can 20 racers place if:
๏ Top 3 get gold, silver, and bronze?
- 20P3
๏ Top 3 get blue ribbons, everyone else gets
participation ribbons?
- 20C3
๏ Top 3 get gold, silver, and bronze, next 10 get
You Rock! ribbons, everyone else gets

Oh no. I gave up and dropped it. I
plan to retake it with the same
instructor in the spring.
Here’s the syllabus. What do you
think? There’s a proctored final. How
much for an A?!
How many weeks are left in the
course? What assignments
remain? What is your current
grade?
Oh no. I gave up and dropped it. I
plan to retake it with the same
instructor in the spring.
I would have to see a course syllabus
to give you a definitive price, but the
price would be around $699. For an
algebra course, we guarantee an A
average on all work completed by the
tutor.?
The class has a proctored final but you
take it on a computer. Can the tutor still
take that too?

Maybe. It's in Mymathlab. I've never
took it.
We can definitely help out with
the proctored final, we have a
work around that is very
successful.
Is it done through proctor
u?
Previously…
I checked with the teacher and they
do not use proctoru. They said i will
need to schedule a time at the
assessment center on campus. I
have to take an id.
We guarantee that it will work or
your money back as long as it's
done through proctoru.com

Can you find out more about the
software they are going to use , if
any to prevent cheating? We've had
success in testing centers but if it is
a one on one thing with you and a
proctor, it might be an issue.
We can try to make it happen but in
this case there is no guarantee for
success
I know they use something called a
lockdown browser. A friend told me that its
basically a small computer lab they dont let
you bring much in so it isnt really one on
one.

  • 69. • Professors Nancy Lape, Karl Haushalter, Rachel Levy and Darryl Yong received an NSF grant to study the effects of the flipped classroom on students’ learning… Results suggest the benefits of flipping a classroom are dubious. • “If you’re not a good instructor, flipping the classroom won’t really ensure better learning. If you aren’t doing something to fill the space, it won’t do you any good. www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/10/22/flipped-classrooms- effectiveness/3148447 www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/10/22/flipped-classrooms-effectiveness/3148447
  • 70. Another Caveat… Modern ‘reform’ is taking place at the wrong end… They put the cart before the horse, lipstick on the pig. Group work! Technology! Inquiry learning! Flipped classroom! We need to reform mathematical substance, not pedagogy… The question isn’t, “How can we make students understand Concept X?” We must ask, “Should we even teach Concept X in the first place? If so, why?”
  • 71. $ $ $ $$$$ $ What About Online Classes?
  • 72. The DOE Is Looking for… Instructor-initiated, Regular and Substantive Interaction! $ $$ $
  • 73. U.S. Department of Education Code of Federal Regulations, Title 34, Subpart A, Paragraph 602.3 establishes that correspondence courses do not qualify for Title IV federal financial aid, and that Distance Education is distinct from Correspondence Education (2015, p.12). Similar stipulations exist in the California Department of Education California Community Colleges Distance Education California Code of Regulations; and in the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) Guide to Evaluating Distance Education and Correspondence Education.
  • 74. Define Regular: Instructors shall interact weekly with online students for a duration equivalent to onsite classes. Interaction and feedback will be personal (as opposed to computer-generated). Define Substantive: Feedback is academic rather than administrative. Instructors shall initiate scholarly dialogue and require student-to-student and student-to-teacher interactions. Define Interaction: Dynamic synchronous or asynchronous academic, timely and reactive announcements; chat rooms with instructor participation; discussion board; e-mails; messaging; phone calls; review sessions; rubrics; social networking; video conferences; webcats; webinars; podcasts; etc.
  • 75. Define Non-Interactive: Announcements, e-mails, messages, etc. that are administrative; course orientations; discussion board messages with non- academic or administrative content such as generic praise or clarification of class policies; Internet resources, links to external sites; computer or publisher-generated or pre-loaded content; webcasts, webinars, podcasts or other audio-video material that are generic, impersonal, passive or non-timely.

  • 101. Pie vs. Pi Helping Students Visualize Radians ๏ Anne Praderas Vance ๏ Austin Community College ๏ anne.vance@austincc.edu
  • 102. I hate it when students… ๏ …convert everything into degrees, ‘cuz ๏ …have no idea where radian angles terminate: "I get 150º, but 5p 6 is just WEIRD."
  • 103. Like fingernails on a chalkboard Test grade = 58
  • 104. Motivation Ahh, RADIANS! Students… …can’t see ‘em. …can’t draw ‘em. …can’t think ‘em. Students need a new way to visualize fractions, and thus, understand radians.
  • 105. What is a radian, anyway? An angle with its vertex at the center of a circle that intercepts [yell Whoop if you read this] an arc on the circle equal in length to the radius of the circle has a measure of 1 radian.
  • 106. Let’s play “The Slice Is Right” When will = 5 cm (the radius)?
  • 108. Ding!
  • 109. How many radians fill the circle?
  • 110. Snowboarders could use radians! ๏ Triple Misty: 1080^ 1620< means 6π rotations going up, 9π rotations to the left ๏ Nose Picker: 1080^ 900< means 6π rotations going up, 5π rotations to the left
  • 111. Just like (someone else’s) Mom used to make 1 Whole Pie: ½ of a pie ¼ of a pie
  • 112. I like pi 1 Whole Pi (π radians) ½ of a pi ½ 1 Whole Pie vs. ½ of a pie vs.
  • 113. More ways to slice our pi = one-fourth of a pi = = one-third of a pi = = one-sixth of a pi = 1 4 p = p 4 radians 1 3 p = p 3 radians 1 6 p = p 6 radians
  • 114. Counting slices of pi 3/4 pi 2/4 = 1/2 pi 1/4 pi 4/4 = 1 pi Start Here
  • 115. 3/3 = 1 pi 2/3 pi 1/3 pi Start Here 6/6 = 1 pi 5/6 pi 4/6 = 2/3 pi 3/6 = 1/2 pi 2/6 = 1/3 pi 1/6 pi Start Here

  • 121. Visualizing Algebra ๏ by Dr. Natalya Vinogradova ๏ nvinogradova@plymouth.edu
  • 122. What does the word algebra mean? al·ge·bra Noun: algebra the part of mathematics in which letters and other general symbols are used to represent numbers and quantities in formulae and equations
  • 123. Is it really all about symbols? Then Algebra is a mystery cult, where strange symbols are used by those few who belong. Others are destined to be left forever oblivious of the meaning of those SYMBOLS
  • 124. What is the meaning of the symbol x2 ? Is this x · x? Is this a number multiplied by itself? Is this the area of a square whose side has length x?
  • 125. Which meaning is more helpful for a learner? All of them! To explain any mathematical concept we should combine numbers, words, illustrations, and symbols.
  • 126. Unfortunately very little attention is given to geometric representations of algebraic formulas in modern algebra textbooks. Next few slides will ask you to “read pictures” in words and in symbols.
  • 127. What do you see? A square with a side (x + 1) or four rectangles (x + 1)2 = x2 + 2x + 1 x x 1 1
  • 128. What is emphasized by this shading? The distributive property of multiplication over addition (x + 1)2 = x∙(x + 1) + 1∙(x + 1) x x 1 1
  • 129. What if the same parts are rearranged? Consider a rectangle that encloses all these parts (x + 1)2 = x∙(x + 3) – 1∙(x – 1) x x 1 1 1 x – 1
  • 130. Here is a different arrangement. What is the area of the large rectangle? x∙2x or 2x2 (x + 1)2 = 2x2 – x∙(x – 2) + 1 x x 1 1 x – 2 x 1
  • 131. Can you see the difference of two consecutive squares? (x +1)2 – x2 = x + (x + 1) = 2x +1 Does this mean that any odd number is the difference of two consecutive square numbers? So which two consecutive square numbers have the difference of 27? x x 1 1
  • 132. These and other ideas on how to make sense of algebraic formulas using illustrations, words and numbers are presented in my book Make Friends with Algebra One Picture at a Time
  • 133. ๏ Presented by: Wendy Pogoda ๏ Hillsborough Community College ๏ wpogoda@hccfl.edu Combinations & Permutations: Order Mattering Doesn’t Matter
  • 134. Typical Combination and Permutation Questions How many ways can five students be selected out of a class of 20? How many ways can eight friends sit at a bar with four chairs? How many ways can 15 make a committee of 10, with one secretary & two co-chairs?
  • 135. Traditional Method to Solve: Does Order Matter? Yes Permutations No Combinations
  • 136. Now We Ask Our Students to Solve a Problem… Do we use combinations or permutations? Combinations! Permutations!
  • 137. Problem: How many ways can we knock down 8 pins? ๏ It’s combinations – order does NOT matter
  • 138. It’s not our teaching! ๏ “Order mattering” is confusing! ๏ Students will ultimately look for key words - Sample -> Combinations - Racing -> Permutations - Committee -> Combinations
  • 139. Key words are misleading! How many ways can 20 racers place if: ๏ Top 3 get gold, silver, and bronze? - 20P3 ๏ Top 3 get blue ribbons, everyone else gets participation ribbons? - 20C3 ๏ Top 3 get gold, silver, and bronze, next 10 get You Rock! ribbons, everyone else gets Fabulous Effort! ribbons? - 20C13*13C3*3P3
  • 140. Number of Distinguishable Permutations 𝑛! 𝑛1!𝑛2!𝑛3!…𝑛 𝑘! , where 𝑖 𝑘 𝑛𝑖 = n Typically used to rearrange letters of words like MISSISSIPPI 11! 1! 4! 4! 2! = 34,650 Letter Count M 1 I 4 S 4 P 2
  • 141. Case 1: Combinations How many ways can 20 racers place if top 3 get blue ribbons?

  • 148. Harder Question ๏ You have 20 employees. ๏ 13 will work on Christmas Eve, but 4 of those will only work a half-day and 2 will only work to stock in the morning. ๏ Of the remaining employees, 3 will have to work the evening of Thanksgiving. How many ways can this be done? Holiday Assignment Symbol Count Christmas Eve All Day C 13 - 6 = 7 Christmas Eve Half Day H 4 Christmas Eve Stock Shelves S 2 Thanksgiving T 3 No Assignment (Lucky!)

  • 177. Thanks for your request. How can we help out with your college algebra course? I have college algebra in the spring. I already failed it once and I’m hopeless. How much would it cost for you guys to take it for me? It's on mylabsplus and all the work is online. Except for the final. It's proctored. 😊 Hi Scott, No problem. Do you have the syllabus?

  • 179. Here’s the syllabus. What do you think? There’s a proctored final. How much for an A?! How many weeks are left in the course? What assignments remain? What is your current grade? Oh no. I gave up and dropped it. I plan to retake it with the same instructor in the spring.

  • 181. I would have to see a course syllabus to give you a definitive price, but the price would be around $699. For an algebra course, we guarantee an A average on all work completed by the tutor.? The class has a proctored final but you take it on a computer. Can the tutor still take that too?

  • 183. Maybe. It's in Mymathlab. I've never took it. We can definitely help out with the proctored final, we have a work around that is very successful. Is it done through proctor u?
  • 184. Previously… I checked with the teacher and they do not use proctoru. They said i will need to schedule a time at the assessment center on campus. I have to take an id. We guarantee that it will work or your money back as long as it's done through proctoru.com

  • 186. Can you find out more about the software they are going to use , if any to prevent cheating? We've had success in testing centers but if it is a one on one thing with you and a proctor, it might be an issue.
  • 187. We can try to make it happen but in this case there is no guarantee for success I know they use something called a lockdown browser. A friend told me that its basically a small computer lab they dont let you bring much in so it isnt really one on one.
