Math Problemz
This is the solution when deriving the function f(x)=(5x2-10x+18)17
What is 17(5x2 - 10x + 18)16(10x - 10)?
These are the 3 groups of discontinuity
What are infinite, jump, and removable discontinuities?
Multiple Representations: Is there more than one way to lead a student through how to do a problem?
no need to write "What is..."
Yes, many problems can have multiple methods
This TA is no longer with us. Although not scheduled for IWS during Spring, they had their own class teaching 1043. Their endeavors continue to pursue a doctorates degree in Math Ed at UT.

This is the unknown length called b where A = 50o, B = 30o, and a = 10.
What is b = 6.53?
It helps calculate the rate of change from one variable relative to another. Commonly expressed as dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx.
What is the Chain Rule?
Active Learning: What is active learning?
no need to write "What is..."
Active learning [refers] to classroom practices that engage students in activities, such as reading, writing, discussion, or problem-solving, that promote higher-order thinking.

This TA probably sleeps with their hair in a bun. The length of hair is absurd! How long have they grown it? Who knows except them. It makes you wonder how on a windy day can they see with their hair on their face? Maybe that's why he wears glasses...
Who is Max?
Identification and Status: What are the two things you need to do to identify yourself during a shift?
no need to write "What is..."
wear your nametag and update on on-duty board
The critical point(s) for the function f(x) =5x2ln(3x).
What is x = 1/3 * e-1/2?
This formula helps find the axis of symmetry of a polynomial
What is x = -b/2a?
Assessment: What is one way we can assess a student's understanding as TA's?
no need to write "What is..."
Questioning, "reading the room," quizzes or polls, etc.
This TA has so much chill. They handle questions from students with ease making sure students fully understand concepts. Unknowingly, they usually sit like L from Death Note during PD meetings. If you're unsure they're on the clock, you can find their nametag hanging near the QOTD board.
Now, Spell their last name too!

during scheduled hours only
This is the evaluation of the integral of the function x5cos(x6) with respect to x.
What is 1/6 sin(x6) + C?
A function is continuous on [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b). If f(a)=f(b), this theorem guarantees that there is a least one value c in (a,b) such that f'(c) = 0.
What is Rolle's Theorem?
Mathematical Beliefs: What is deficit and anti-deficit thinking?
no need to write "What is..."
Deficit thinking focuses on a student's perceived weaknesses and limitations, while anti-deficit thinking focuses on a student's strengths, potential, and opportunities for growth
This TA is super friendly and fun to talk to. They enjoy spending time with family and friends. During their free time, they enjoy playing multiplayer games such as Roblox, Stardew Valley, and Valorant.

with TutorTrac
This is evaluation of the integral with the function (x2-8x-48)/(x+10) with respect to x
What is 1/2 * x2 - 18x + 132 ln |x + 10| + c?
This is the first condition you should check before applying any convergence test to an infinite series.
What is limx->0an = 0
Equity: What is the difference between equity and equality in math tutoring?
no need to write "What is..."
Equality is when every student receives the same support, and equity is when every student receives the support they need to reach a similar opportunity for success.
Not currently working the summer semester, this TA holds calm yet jovial energy. Although rarely present in the Math Gym, their attentive character helps bring more ideas to the table during PD. Their unique laugh is very contagious, and they have some interest in skateboarding.
Who is Terrence?
Tardiness: What must occur before being required to meet with a Teaching Assistant Supervisor?
no need to write "What is..."
be late 3 or more times in a single semester with each instance exceeding 10 minutes
