"What follows are ten mathematics instructional practices (MIPs) that are meant to capture the nuances of the majority of mathematics instruction for the first two years of college mathematics. The use of technology for instruction is not its own category."
Technology is illustrated as part of the implementation of various instructional strategies, but emphasis on technology itself is not an instructional strategy that can be easily summarized and is left to future exploration. The practices are also meant to describe the nuances of teaching face-to-face.
The nuances of mathematics instructional practices for online courses will be left for future research. It is important to first establish a baseline for MIP that occurs in face-to-face instruction.
The intent of the categories is to lend description to different nuances of instructional practice in mathematics.
You can download the detailed MIPs and the research that went into them here.

Lecture
Teaching by giving a presentation on some subject for a time period longer than 20 minutes. This instructional method includes the exchange of questions and answers between the instructor and students. The key characteristic is that the students rarely interact with each other during this learning process.
