This project by Bob Hoar and Jennifer Kosiak focuses on leveraging technology to improve student learning outcomes in mathematics. The approach includes developing innovative course materials such as podcasts, think-aloud strategies, and learning object designs. Supplementary resources like how-to tutorials and remedial lessons are incorporated to support diverse learning needs. Furthermore, cultural connections are emphasized through vocabulary development and translation resources, ultimately aiming to enhance undergraduate teaching and research in mathematics.

Close your eyes. Think about the steps you go through to solve the following: The original price of a certain car was 25% greater than its cost to the dealer. The actual selling price was 25% less than the original price. If c is the cost of the car and p is the selling price. What is the equation that represents p in terms of c? Student Think Alouds
