MATH
ACTIVITIES
This collection of 15 math activities provides teacher
versions with answers and notes. Student versions are edited and answers
omitted. Teachers can download the activities and begin each activity
with a minimum of work (I hope!), only needing to gather the necessary
equipment.
These 15 activities are some of my favorite.
You best determine grade levels and subject appropriateness. With
modifications, many of the activities can be used K – 12.
Nancy Mathras, the author, has been teaching mathematics since 1969.
She has taught grades 7-12 and likes to vary her teaching assignments.
With a BS in mathematics, a M.Ed. with math concentration, plus 30
hours of advanced coursework, she continues to learn mathematics.
Serving as Mathletes advisor and as a professional development presenter
and working with her school's committees helps her pinpoint topics
in math that need to be better explored. She welcomes your comments,
critiques, suggestions, and questions. You can reach her at nmathras@charter.net.
