We started working on this volume after having lunch during the Joint Meetings with a varied group of people, each using classroom voting in different ways. Each of us had developed our own techniques for using this teaching method successfully. Sometimes we had arrived at the same strategies, while other times we were using quite different approaches. We realized that all this collective experience should be gathered together in one place, so that it would be easily accessible to those wanting to begin using or extend their use of classroom voting. In this volume we have brought together perspectives from a diverse group of people with expertise in classroom voting, so that an instructor can quickly learn how to be successful with this pedagogy. Two of the papers published in this volume are reprints or updates of what has previously been published elsewhere, while most papers were written specifically for this volume, discussing the issues that someone new to the pedagogy will grapple with. The end result is a vibrant collection of papers illustrating the use of classroom voting in nearly every mathematics service course, as well as many courses taken by mathematics majors.

This volume is divided into three sections, plus a combined, single collection of references for all papers. The first section provides background information on classroom voting, including a thorough description of the pedagogy, suggestions for running a class-wide discussion, and contrasting viewpoints on issues such as whether voting should be graded and whether technology improves or detracts from the pedagogy.
