Gateway to Success
Mastering the subject of algebra is considered vital to succeeding in higher-level mathematics and the pursuit of a career in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). But, similar to learning algebra, teaching algebra has its own set of variables to consider in determining the best approach.
To better understand important variables in teaching algebra, Sheree Sharpe, an assistant professor in mathematics and statistics, was awarded a prestigious Faculty Early Career Development Program, or CAREER, award from the National Science Foundation.
