Many students enter a first year mathematics course with the mindset of “I just need to get the right answer.” In this session we introduce three activities thoughtfully incorporated into high enrollment courses that help students adjust their learning practices with low instructor effort and high student impact. 

• Homework Feedback Loop – Meta-Cognitive reflection coupled with annotated solutions.
• A math photo hunt – bringing active learning to the online classroom, enhancing the student’s engagement with course content.
• Exam Wrappers – A simple way to make summative assessments also formative assessments and give you valuable feedback about the exam experience your students have.

Come prepared to use your creativity to find ways to create engaging activities in your own courses. Participants will learn how to design scalable activities that help their students connect their course content with the world around them.
