My students need help to see that math is important beyond test scores and "I told you so" from parents and teachers. To this end, I want to build a classroom environment highlighting applications of mathematical ideas in cultures from around the world - past, present, and future.
These classroom materials, ( posters and mounting tape ) connect mathematics to beauty, creativity, and diversity. Students will be able to see historical contributions made by mathematicians of their own heritage or by mathematicians from an intriguingly faraway place.
Students may be drawn to these decorations by the beauty of their patterning: the tiles and quilt pieces inspire geometric investigation and creation. Students may be interested in history: what similarities can be found across time periods or geographic areas? In these ways, classroom decorations an become interactive sources of learning.
Finally, I selected two "Why study this?" posters to help students connect our classwork to their futures. Students who can link classroom topics to their personal goals will find purpose, inner grit, and eventual success. The requested materials will help my students as they begin their high school journeys and as they prepare for their next steps into the world.
