Pathways Mathematics Courses
Making mathematics meaningful to students with a research-based approach in both traditional face-to-face classes and online settings.
Teaching For Deep Understanding Through Meaningful Inquiry and Interactive Lessons
A Research-Based Approach to Teaching and Learning Math
Pathways mathematics courses are built on decades of research examining how students learn foundational concepts for calculus and how instruction can support the development of students’ mathematical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Course lessons are highly interactive utilizing cognitively scaffolded explorations, dynamic applets, and detailed feedback to provide students with a meaningful, coherent experience. Students emerge from Pathways courses with a newfound confidence in their ability to make sense of ideas and develop meaningful formulas to represent patterns and relationships.
