MHF4U: Spiralling in the Vertical Classroom
Area(s) of Focus: math, technology
Division(s): Senior
Level(s): Grade 12
Resource(s) Available:
We designed an activity-based, student-centred course plan for MHF4U for our classrooms with vertical non-permanent surfaces. The lessons and activities do not follow a unit/chapter plan, they spiral through the curriculum.
