You are here: Home Teaching and Learning Strategies Multiple Intelligences 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 they’ve all heard of. That gives you a chance to entertain a dual purpose as you teach: use historical highlights to help kids appreciate

Chelsea Physic Garden Education Department Teachers' Newsletter: Numeracy in the Landscape 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.

Their purpose is not to summit the world's highest peak, but to turn their trip into a virtual classroom for deaf and hard-of-hearing children at schools throughout America, via the Web. Mark graduated from the Florida School for the Deaf and later returned as a teacher. He began teaching at the Texas School for the Deaf last year.

The Armstrong Atlantic State University mathematics professor has for the last 30 years personified the passionate conviction that die-hard math-haters can grasp the difference between pi, probability and Pythagoras—and actually enjoy the process. Welcome to Jane’s World “My goal is to effect changes in the way mathematics is taught and learned in all levels,” said Barnard.

An Introduction to Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences Abstract This lesson is designed to introduce students to the idea of arithmetic and geometric sequences. Objectives Upon completion of this lesson, students will: have been introduced to sequences have learned the terminology used with sequences have experimented with creating a sequence by varying the starting number, multiplier, and add-on values used to produce the sequence have practiced determining the starting values that should be used to produce a desired sequence Activities This lesson introduces students to arithmetic sequence through the following activity: Sequencer Standards The activities and discussions in this lesson address the following Standards: Number sense, number operations and number relationships standards including: compare, order, and operate with positive and negative rational numbers. Patterns, relationships and functions standards including: extend geometric and arithmetic sequences. find formulas for determining elements in sequences of numbers. construct sequences similar to previously studied progressions using different initial values.
