Volker Ecke is working with 4 students simultaneously, all having different learning edges and questions. Notice how he is using wait time, what he encourages them to do and how little he is actually telling them.
This video was taken in a mathematics for liberal arts class with 30 students. It met two times a week for 75 minutes each.
This video shows the main elements of a typical class of Volker Ecke. Notice how

Student practice dancing salsa rueda in a math for liberal art class. Afterwards they will investigate how to predict if and when a dancer returns to their original dance partner (dancing dame dos again and again). This investigation is the same as exploring star polygon patterns and also connects to the spirograph activities.

A whole class discussion in Calculus 3 about the classification of maxima, minima and saddle points.
The students were given the equation for D but had to find out themselves how to use this equation
to classify a critical point. All groups wrote several examples on the wrap around blackboards to use
as classification examples.
The class had 25 students and met two times a week for 75 minutes each and one time for 50 minutes.
