Do You Use The Math You Teach? How to Find Problems That Show The Power of Mathematics in Real Life
Abstract/Description:
My best problems come from situations where I have actually used math to solve a real problem in my life, from 3D printing loaded dice to wondering about tie-dyed t-shirts. We will work on some of these problems that I use to motivate and apply math, then talk about how to find such problems. Many of these have made great STEM fair projects.
