That sounds great, thanks! I'm not a MAA member but will check with colleagues.
Student thinking is a wonderful way to guide instruction. I use it in some classes, and rather than telling them, I ask them how they would solve a problem. It takes more time, however.

Great prompt, April! We liked thinking about this topic so much we wrote a whole book about it! Each chapter is focused on a different course (or major topic, in the case of Calculus.) We present lots of examples of student thinking, most drawn directly from the research literature. That's followed by a "What You Can Do" section, which presents research-based instructional strategies for overcoming the common teaching pitfalls.

Subject: IMPACT In Action - Using student thinking to guide instruction
There have been calls to action for instructors to not only be aware of student thinking when teaching, but to leverage student thinking to guide instruction. So, what does it mean to use student thinking when teaching? And in what ways can student thinking guide instruction?
