Interview for a Math Teacher
Here are some questions (to teach precalc & stats):
What's a logarithm?
What's a situation in which mean & median are different & one might be preferable?
How do you see math & social justice combining?
What's your fave math thing?
Then: minilesson on what Ss are learning. I think a minilesson is good & especially if it's on the material they'd be broaching. More interested in familiarity with content & pedagogical moves than a pre-polished lesson.
I also asked about math/gender since I teach at a girls school.
Views/whys on tracking also good.
Here are the Qs I most recently asked (to teach precalc & stats): What's a logarithm? What's a sitch in which mean & median are diff & one might be preferable? How do you see math & social justice combining? What's your fave math thing? Then: minilesson on what Ss are learning.
