The Ruler As An Instrument Of Mathematical Design
Note - Ms. Math would like for you to have available for the webinar the following:
A Ruler that has centimeters on it along with lots of paper, pencil, pen, and if they like the color, then colored pencils or colored markers
INVITE YOUR PARENTS AND STUDENTS TO ATTEND!
The ruler is an overlooked tool in the classroom. Besides being used to measure linear items it is also used as a “straight edge.” Using the ruler as a straightedge, the world of geometric design can be explored and geometric design can awaken the creative side of the learner who is bored with the tedium of math facts. Keep a ruler, paper, and pencil next to you during this webinar.
Known simply as Ms. Math to children across the country, Rachel McAnallenhas devoted her life to sharing the joy and beauty of mathematics with learners of all ages. A professional educator for over 65 years, she travels the globe teaching her subject at every grade level. In addition to her experience in the classroom, Rachel has served as a department chair, a school board member, and a high school administrator. She claims the latter position is responsible for the majority of her grey hairs. She has a passion for teaching, birds, and mathematical modular origami, though not always in that order. A life-long learner, Rachel went back to school at age 70 and received her PhD at age 75. She approaches the world around her with a boundless curiosity and a playful sense of humor that is reflected in her teaching style. Rachel believes that mathematics is a language to be spoken, a music to be heard, an art to be seen, and a dance to be performed. She loves to dance.
