Abstract

Abstract: At the University of Hartford we transformed our approach to Calculus I – moving it away from a lecture-dominant format to one that focuses squarely on students solving problems and discussing and presenting their mathematical ideas for the majority of class time. In this article, we discuss our Flipping Calculus project and how a departmental culture of innovation and collaboration encouraged and supported this pedagogical change and how these factors continue to promote innovation.
