Math in the Mall Our work in popularizing mathematics through displays with hands-on activities began with the teaching of our course Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers (MATH 190). Our goal was and is to change the attitudes of student-teachers to mathematics. Our strategy is to prepare (and later let students prepare) various projects which would allow them to see a glimpse of what we see in mathematics: the beauty of it; the excitement and amazement upon seeing something unexpected; the mathematics around us; and the people of mathematics.

'Teaching Ideas' is for teachers who teach primary-age children (i.e. ages 5 to 11). Although it has been designed with UK teachers in mind, all ideas can of course be used by teachers around the world. The ideas, activities and worksheets are organized according to a number of subjects (those covered in the English National Curriculum): There is also an area on the site entitled "Time-Fillers". The ideas which fall into this category may fall into a number of subject areas, and they are ideal for use as short activities which can be used to fill a few spare moments during the day. The "Early Years" section contains ideas for use with children aged 5 or below, and the "Foreign Languages" area has resources for those teachers who wish to teach a different language to their children.

Wacky Web Tales Students used to play this game called MAD LIBS with pencil and paper and loved it. Now the idea has been transferred to the web. My students still like playing it.
