Get ready for a treat for your eyes and your mind! Megan Taylor has put together a great set of PowerPoint slides to tickle the minds of your students as well as your mathematical mind. There are some old favorites here, as well as some new (to Mr. L) brain teasers. As good teachers know, getting your students to buy into your lesson plan is half the battle. These problems are presented in such a strong graphical style that students will be motivated to engage their minds in solving them and uncovering the math involved.
This post is a summary of Megan Taylor’s PowerPoint slides and presentation at the CMC-N Asilomar Conference in Monterey, CA on Friday, 5 December. Megan is currently a doctoral student in Math Education at Stanford University; I’m sure we can expect more great work from her.
