Task 6 ... Counter Escape
Read about this Task of the Month in Task Cameos in the Iceberg Information link on the left.
Convergence is a new on-line journal from the Mathematical Association of America. Its particular thrust is to teach mathematics through its history - the real problems facing real mathematicians. We have listed the link in Other Problem Solving Sites in the Web Sites link on the left.
Many of us know of Andy Martin who is our Task Centre Project Officer in UK. Some of us also communicate with him at times. Andy has recently changed his email address to the one now listed in the Contacts link on the left.
Harry Kanasa, John Paul College, Queensland, has drawn up a Mathematician's Tool Shed as a visual image of the Strategy Board. He has also added a Multiple Intelligences checklist. Harry is happy to share it with anyone interested so we have placed it in the Working Mathematically link on the left.
From the email this month:
Hi Doug,Thanks for letting us know Claire. Your success may inspire others to look at the Library Kit link on the left. The kit may be valuable, but it is you who is weaving the magic. Keep up the good work.
I just wanted to let you know that I've been using the Library Kit so much since receiving it at the ITAS workshop. All my students are loving the activities and they've become so popular that they don't want to do anything else in maths now.
