Q: What do feather boas, cookies, and paper shredders have in
common? A: They are all ingredients that have the potential to help
your undergraduate students understand a variety of mathematical
concepts. In this book, 43 faculty from a wide range of
institutional settings share a total of 64 hands-on activities that
allow students to physically engage with mathematical ideas ranging
from the basics of precalculus to special topics appropriate for
upper-level courses. Each learning activity is presented in an
easy-to-read recipe format that includes a list of supplies; a
narrative briefly describing the reasons, logistics, and helpful
hints for running the activity; and a page that can be used as a
handout in class. Purchase of the book also includes access to
electronic printable versions of the handouts. With so many
activities, it might be hard to decide where to start. For that
reason, there are four indices to help the reader navigate this
book: a concept index, a course index, an author index, and a main
ingredient index. In addition to providing activities for
precalculus, calculus, commonly required mathematics courses for
majors, and more specialized upper-level electives, there is also a
section describing how to modify many of the activities to fit into
a liberal arts mathematics class. Whether you are new to using
hands-on activities in class or are more experienced, the authors
hope that this book will encourage and inspire you to explore the
possibilities of using more hands-on activities in your classes.
Bon appetit!
