3 New Problem Solving Downloads

Tonight I’ve finished off a third problem solving poster and I’ve made all three problems available as Word files and Acrobat files on my site. I’ve made the posters big enough to put up on your Math Walls or in the windows of your classroom.

I love watching kids different reactions to these problems. See what sorts of reactions you get when you present them.

cheers

New Math Problem Solving Activity – Traversable Networks

Adrian — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 10:15:03 +0000

I’ve spent time tonight experimenting with different software to create resource posters for teaching about ‘traversable networks’ and am pretty happy with my first results.

The fractal was generated in Fractalus by loading in different parameters and experimenting with random colour schemes.

The planets were made in Anim8or and I then wrapped free planet textures around the spheres. The paths were also made in Anim8or by bending cylinders and colouring them red.

My wizard was hand drawn with my Wacom tablet and Inkscape
because I like the calligraphy tool. The whole composite image was then assembled in Photoshop but I could have easily used Paint.Net.

Tomorrow I plan to build the webpage to house this poster then people can use it with their classes next week
