Classroom Lab Experience III: Exploring Mathematics Curriculum and Content-based Formative Assessment Classroom Lab experience III is a logical continuation of earlier lab experiences in which participants continue to be actively engaged in the intentional and systematic improvement of specific math teaching skills and strategies. Formative assessment in mathematics, overarching mathematical concepts that are the hallmarks of effective mathematics curricula, and problem-based instruction are the major foci for this lab experience. This lab, along with the previous lab opportunities and the experiences of being a student of mathematics in the VMI content courses, should motivate participants to think deeply about their own instruction and to work doggedly on specific aspects of mathematics teaching. Through earlier discussions about mathematics teaching and learning as well the mathematics curriculum considerations involved in this lab, it is expected each VMI participant will have a clear and thoughtful answer to the question, “What are you working on to improve your math instruction?”
