Math teaching, for him, is a dialog between teacher and student with a twist of technology. Case uses a graphing calculator in his teaching as a tool for exploring. He emphasizes group problem solving. For this reason, he has received high marks in student evaluations. The group dynamic allows individual potential to develop, Case said.
Case is a Boston native.
He attended Hyde Park High School and was the first generation in his family to go on to college. He is a political activist fighting for such causes as civil rights and immigration rights in cities. Case believes that every person should get the opportunity to learn. When he realized that inner city high school students weren t being offered calculus as a course, Case set out to make a difference. He worked in collaboration with five Boston high schools, including Hyde Park, and was able to get calculus into the curriculum.
