A Modified Moore Method for Small Advanced Calculus Classes of Predominantly Future High School Teachers




Inquiry-Based Learning is a proven technique for providing future mathematicians with confidence and independence, but the method naturally has wider application.  In particular, even in quite small upper-division courses, and even when all or almost all of the students have chosen a high school teaching career, we can apply a tailored form of the Moore Method. 

I'll offer a precise description of the framework for Advanced Calculus courses I've taught under these circumstances, with a detailed discussion of assessment and thoughts on when to, and when not to, offer help in the form of leading questions.
