Learning Resources

The Faculty of Mathematics has many resources designed to help instructors engage with their students and support their skills development.

This resource is a result of a Math Strategic Initiative to improve math students’ teamwork skills.

The modern workplace requires a lot of teamwork and collaboration, but students are not typically given instruction in how to do teamwork effectively. The teamwork skills project aims at

• Deepening students’ understanding of learned knowledge through problem solving;
• Enriching students’ experience and skills in team work;
• Improving students' written and oral communication skills;
• Providing instructors with resources to integrate group projects into their classes.

There are four modules in total. Each is independent of each other. Instructors could either use the modules in their entirety or pick what fits their curriculum. Each module contains

• Slides that allow students to learn on their own;
• Notes to instructors that provides tips and additional material if they would like to integrate the modules into their lectures;
• Templates for some of the tools introduced in the slides.

Each Learn page links to Dan Wolczuk's Learning How to Learn seminar videos. These videos help students develop greater awareness of how they learn and strengthen their metacognitive skills. If you are interested in improving your own metacognition - or supporting your students in developing theirs - these videos are an excellent resource.
