Making the Difficult Dynamic
Music Two types: (1) memory aids, e.g. (2) ice-breakers, e.g. “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Pour ‘Sum’ Sugar on Me”
Teaching by analogy, e.g. There are two important sets associated with a surjective function The set is the domain (what the function eats) and the set is the range (what the function poops out). The inverseof does just the opposite. What does it do?
