Math Department - The York School

"The students' efforts were part of a seven-month project combining math, English and engineering"

"Most of my students come to my class with some negative associations from their past experiences in math. I've learned that I can't teach them math unless I also teach them strategies for coping with these feelings. "

"A site with a collection of maths videos designed to get students drawing graphs. Watch the motion of objects or values on scale in the videos and plot the numbers. The videos have the correct answers at the end."

"A fun online Spirograph, great for maths lessons, looking at cogs and cams in D&T and pop culture in art."

Uncovering Math ASCD

"As a high school math teacher, it was important for me to create a learning space that welcomed on-demand wonder and exploration. I knew that I planned to have a few essential hands-on math tools, and in the last few years, I also knew that I needed to have other items that were essential for providing kids more creative freedom. With a few containers, manipulatives, and supplies, along with some technology, I created a space that my students would go on to name "the wonder shelves." What you are about to read was not an overnight process, but one that grew over an eight-year span."
