Flipping the Classroom / Flipped Classes ~ Resources and Ideas **NEW**

Updated December 17, 2012

Looking for resources for flipping your math class?

"Flipping" is one term for blended learning, a mix of face-to-face teaching and learning in the classroom along with on-line instructional video and other on-line activities, usually outside the regular class time.  Blended strategies, when used carefully, strategically, and thoughtfully, can increase the time students engage with mathematics, while allowing students to personalize their experience as well.  Class time can be better used for rich group activities, discussion, labs, and exploration, along with one-on-one tutoring.  Time at home or in another location with internet access can be used for individual preview, review, and practice using carefully chosen (or created) resources, including audio, video, and interactive mathematics experiences.

Below are some resources that you may find helpful:
