Edna's Math Class on Bolster

Interactive Electronic Math Platform

This project was inspired by a presentation I gave at the 2022 University of Waterloo Teaching and Learning Conference, in collaboration with my partner, Ana Lucia Vargas Sandoval at Bolster Academy, where I designed a small Mock Math Class at the high school level.

Participants had the opportunity to experience a self-study interactive tool that grades the work, gives hints how to improve, lets them try again as often as they like, and praises them when they got it right. All randomized and in real time. Instead of just talking about it, my goal was for participants to experience first-hand the reasons why my students are more frequently using the words “math” and “fun” in the same sentence.

Please enter the course, and try the Mock Math Class yourself. It's free.
