First Year Calculus as Taught by R. L. Moore: An Inquiry-Based Learning Approach

First Year Calculus as Taught by R. L. Moore facilitates student learning through IBL or Inquiry-Based Learning, the essence of the Moore Method. It is based on notes taken by the author as a student of Dr. Moore’s at the University of Texas, Austin in 1955. This text incorporates the pedagogical teaching of mathematics used by Dr. Moore with his own collection of seminal “problems that teach.” Designed to stimulate creativity and encourage student presentations of their solutions in the classroom, it is most suitable for smaller classes of about 30 or fewer students. The intention is to minimize lectures by the instructor and to maximize student participation in the learning process. This method has been successfully employed as an effective way to teach mathematics by students of Moore and by their students. With the help of the Educational Advancement Foundation (EAF), mathematicians have been working since the 1980’s to implement the Moore Method in universities and colleges, nationwide.

When I started a school for our children with my wife, I knew almost nothing about preuniversity education. My education at the University level included English, religion, psychology, law, science, and mathematics.I had 12 years of University study, although most of my learning came from my private reading. Faced with what I did not know I had to answer, or find the answers to many questions: How did I get an IQ opf 195? How can one increase, if one ca, the IQ in all children; How can one educate children not only in the pitiful, limited deprival of education that characterizes our society; How can we educate them so that they all come mentally healthy? If we are educating them bilingually, or multilingually, how can this be done to a high level without stress; What are the best texts in English, or French, where are they from; What is the best time to start an enriched education; What are the best examining centers in English; From what countries do the best teachers come from; What are the most successful methodologies for teaching anything? What is the appropriate class size for superlearning; What is the best way to teach tolerance, love, and democracy; How can a child be persuaded to try beyond his normal skill level; What extra languages are most appropriate; What changes in curriculum are required to ensure that both boys, and girls are equally facile in all areas.

Stories of flesh-eating, unworldly creatures living in streams and lakes, have flourished for centuries. For indigenous tribes to survive during famines, mothers sometimes drowned their newborns. Native Americans know them as water babies. The dispossessed children continue to hibernate in the reservation lakes and rivers, their small bodies stranded in limbo. In this installment of the Dark Feather Novel series, a malevolent entity awakens them and transforms them into ravenous beasts. After winning the previous Summer of Stolen Soul’s battle with skin walkers, the local citizenry assumed their lives have returned to normal. They are dead wrong.
