The purpose of this project is twofold: to create learning style projects for introductory college mathematics courses and to understand how students respond cognitively, emotionally, and motivationally to learning style projects. This project grew out of the need for learning style activities that could be implemented immediately and easily in introductory college mathematics courses and the need to document the effects of learning style projects on students' learning.

520 $a The purpose of this project is twofold: to create learning style projects for introductory college mathematics courses and to understand how students respond cognitively, emotionally, and motivationally to learning style projects. This project grew out of the need for learning style activities that could be implemented immediately and easily in introductory college mathematics courses and the need to document the effects of learning style projects on students' learning.
520 $a The 54 projects in “Learning Style Projects for Introductory College Mathematics” address the need for learning style resources. Each project is focused around one mathematical concept from an introductory college mathematics course. Each project is designed for one or more learning style modalities (auditory, visual, or tactual/kinesthetic), and each addresses a minimum of three of the five major learning systems (emotional, social, cognitive, physical, and reflective).
520 $a To understand what students are experiencing when they learn mathematics through learning style projects, five of the projects were implemented in two “Mathematics for the Liberal Arts” classes at Northern Virginia Community College. The data were detailed observations of classes as students completed these activities and interviews with a diverse sample of 18 students from these classes following the conclusion of the course.
520 $a Three main results emerged from the research. The first result was that students felt learning style projects help them understand the mathematical concepts better than concepts taught by lecture only. In particular, tactual/kinesthetic activities had the biggest cognitive impact because they clarified and illustrated the mathematical concepts. The second result was that students improved their attitudes towards math. In particular, students enjoyed tactual/kinesthetic activities, and these activities helped them understand the relevance of the mathematics they learned. Students also enjoyed the social aspects of many of the collaborative activities. The third result was that students valued variety in classroom activities, including lecture.
520 $a The implication of this research is that professors of introductory college mathematics should include a variety of learning style projects to accommodate the learning style preferences of their students and address the five learning systems. The “Learning Style Projects for Introductory College Mathematics” make this possible.
