1) Why do students have so much trouble learning logarithms? What approaches have been successful in teaching logarithms?
2) How has Algebra instruction changed over the years in the U.S.? What are the most successful approaches to teaching it?
3) How do students memorize formulas or concepts, such as the quadratic formula, special right triangles, or Trig identities?
4) Why do students have a difficult time simplifying negative and fractional exponents?
5) It's no surprise that the majority of students are intimidated and afraid of word problems. The dilemma is there are too many types (mixture, work, consecutive integers, distance, geometry, etc). What teaching practice/methods can we use to boost their confidence? How can we get those helpless hand raisers to attempt the problem (set it up) by themselves without asking for the teacher's guidance?
