Changing math education
Arthur Benjamin’s formula for changing math education
About this talk

Environmental Photo Essays + Images of Protest
Free Technology recently posted Remarkable Images of Protest. The post might lead to some useful resources for environmental, social studies classes & art classes. There is at least one link of interest to math teachers – Fibonacci Sequence Illustrated by Nature
The site is blocked by BESS – but you can check it in the library or at home. Some of the content is definitely PG-13. 10 Most Suggestive Cacti On Earth for example =) Still – there are many interesting articles/phot essays such as:
- 5 Deadliest Effects of Global Warming
- 8 Incredible Green Roofs
- Remarkable Images of Activism from the Last Fifty Years
- Fibonacci Sequence Illustrated by Nature
- The Birth of Stars
