Using Jokes and Humor Effectively in the Mathematics Classroom (General)

Presented by Patrick Vennebush

When used effectively, humor helps to create a positive environment for learning. In this seminar, we'll explore how jokes can be used to help students retain information, illuminate concepts, and set the stage for problem solving. Come find out how many math teachers it takes to change a light bulb, and learn how to use this joke (and others) effectively with your students.

Nov 16, 2010 08:00 AM : Using Multiple Representations in Algebra (6-12)

Learn how to use multiple representations to help students in their problem solving. Examples will include solutions with multiple representations and how different representations can support different types of learners. Dynamic problems from Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 will demonstrate how representations allow students multiple access points to real world problems.
