Who says math can't be funny? In Math Jokes 4 Mathy Folks, Patrick
Vennebush dispels the myth of the humorless mathematician. His
quick wit comes through in this incredible compilation of jokes and
stories. Intended for all math types, Math Jokes 4 Mathy Folks
provides a comprehensive collection of math humor, containing over
400 jokes. It's a book that all teachers from elementary school
through college should have in their library. But the humor isn't
just for the classroom-it also appeals to engineers, statisticians,
and other math professionals searching for some good, clean,
numerical fun. From basic facts (Why is 6 afraid of 7?) to
trigonometry (Mathematical puns are the first sine of dementia) and
algebra (Graphing rational functions is a pain in the asymptote),
no topic is safe. As Professor Jim Rubillo notes, Math Jokes 4 Math
Folks is an absolute gem for anyone dedicated to seeing
mathematical ideas through puns, double meanings, and blatant bad
jokes. Such perspectives help to see concepts and ideas in
different and creative ways.
The problems in One Hundred Problems Involving the Number 100
celebrate the "Goldilocks" charm of 100-a number not too small, not
too large, but just right to challenge students without
intimidating them. It's used in myriad ways within the problems: as
an exponent, product, area, or perimeter; a constant in an
equation; the number of items in a series or sequence; or as a
physical value, such as a stack of 100 coins, a deck with 100
cards, or a jug that holds 100 ounces. One Hundred Problems
Involving the Number 100 is not just a list of problems. The
problems are designed to promote classroom discourse, allow
students to think deeply about mathematical concepts, and learn
problem-solving strategies, as well as to make connections between
different topics in mathematics. The purpose of the problems is to
promote a variety of problem-solving strategies. A range of
mathematical topics from patterns, conversions, and sums and series
to number theory, functions, probability and statistics, and
geometry are covered. The problems are aligned to Common Core State
Standards for content and math practices. The chart in Part 3 lets
teachers find problems at an appropriate level of difficulty for
their students. For each problem, there is a description of how the
problem might be used in the classroom, suggestions for how to
provide assistance to students without divulging the answer or even
exposing a solution strategy, and possible extensions. You'll find
both practical information and inspiration in these pages as well
as a treasure trove of meaningful mathematical tasks to engage and
excite your students.
