Abstract
This portfolio includes four primary elements. First is a document titled “Where did they come from? Where are they going?” that provides a description of the types of students who are likely to take the course, followed by the “Course Concept Map” that visually depicts the flow of topics and possible misconceptions in MATH 1040. Additionally, the “Misconceptions Overlay” document lists articles that offer interesting discussion and further insight into the ideas students may bring to MATH 1040 or develop throughout the course. Two lesson plans are included that cover “Continuity and Introduction to Classifying Discontinuities” as well as an “Introduction to L’Hopital’s Rule”. These lesson plans aim to guide instructors teaching future sections of the course or similar courses.
