Math 210 - Mathematics for Elementary Teachers I -- Spring 2024 Daily Assignments and Tasks

My teaching style is very adaptive, so I only post class assignments and tasks as we become ready to cover that material.
These are labeled Preliminary before class.
AFTER class, I adjust the list to accommodate for any flexing we did DURING class that day, and mark the listing Confirmed.
