Extractions: Math's Checkered Past: Teach With It! by Mark Wahl Where did the symbol 7 come from? When and where was long division a university subject? Did you know that centimeters were born in a revolution? Which country was the first to use x to mean an unknown amount and soon after became a world mathematical champion? Which country had been the previous champion? Exploration of historical questions like these will enhance math interest and involvement in those math students with active inter personal intelligence. As many know, Howard Gardner delineated the intrapersonal intelligence as one of eight intelligences in which people can have a high IQ. Those strong in interpersonal are good resolvers of personal conflicts, are magnets for friends, and are fascinated by the personal dramas that gave rise to objects and situations around them. These same students may, like everyone else, yawn during a world civilization class full of abstract facts and dates, but they will eat up the fascinating personalized historical connections that gave rise to the well known math concepts theyve all heard of. That gives you a chance to entertain a dual purpose as you teach: use historical highlights to help kids appreciate

Extractions: January 2000 You may well ask, "Nature and maths: where's the link?" A good question indeed. Thinking back to your early school days, when three apples were taken away from five, two remained. This is a simple example of how familiar objects can illustrate more abstract concepts - such as our number system, its language and symbols. If you then take that apple and cut it in half again and again, the idea of fractions is visibly (and edibly) demonstrated. The usefulness of the natural world as a mathematical tool doesn't end there. This newsletter looks at some of the other ways that nature and the Great Outdoors can help you to teach Hopefully, you will have access to some form of green space in which to teach mathematics. This can be as simple as a single tree, or a lawn. If you don't, then most of the ideas can be used in a classroom setting - with plants/leaves collected and/or with house plants and seedlings. When using nature to teach maths, you will probably find that the activities are cross-curricular in some way: overlapping with such subjects as ICT, science, English, geography, physics, art and history:- in the methods used, processes you observe, the conclusions you reach, vocabulary you use and the ways in which you represent and illustrate your findings.

Extractions: Exercise your brain and your body as you learn about graphing algebraic and trigonometric equations. There are six activities that illustrate the plotting of an equation on a four quadrant graph. For example, how would you illustrate the line y=mx+c for different values of m? What happens when the constant b is increased in the equation y=ax+b? Not for kinesthetic learners only, this is a great way to understand how an equation "works." The life and works of Archimedes are presented along with images and animations of the Archimedes Screw, Stomachion (tiles similar to a tangram), the lever, Archimedean solids, and the Archimedes claw for upending and sinking enemy boats close to the harbor. Other topics include ancient Syracuse, stamps, and coins depicting Archimedes. This collection of classroom lessons is designed by classroom teachers and university researchers to integrate the K-4 national standards in mathematics (NCTM) and astronomy (NSES) using NASA science resources. Math concepts include number and operations, algebra, geometry and measurement. The lessons are grouped into grades K-2 and 3-5 and are in PDF format.
