Delving Deeper: The Diver Problem: The Surfer Problem in 3D
Keyword(s):
Mathematics is not a “handbag of tricks” but rather a discipline of inquiry and creativity, as Nabb (2010-11) notes, and he has shared his methods and excitement for the inquiry approach. By engaging calculus students in a search for examples of infinite series that meet certain conditions, or arguments that such series do not exist, Nabb appropriately aligns his teaching with the Standards for Mathematical Practice found in the Common Core State Standards (CCSSI 2010). In particular, three Standards for Mathematical Practice come to mind: (a) “make sense of problems and persevere in solving them”; (b) “reason abstractly and quantitatively”; and (c) “model with mathematics” (CCSSI 2010, pp. 6-8).
