This book offers engaging cross-curricular modules to supplement a variety of pure mathematics courses. Every chapter was carefully designed to promote active learning strategies. Teaching Mathematics Through Cross-Curricular Projects is aimed at anyone wishing to demonstrate the utility of pure mathematics across a wide selection of real-world ......
The elements of geometry are points, lines and planes, together with Space and Nothing. In Euclidian geometry, we observe these as if we are point-centred beings concerned with extensive measurement. In non-Euclidian, or projective geometry, we are 'planar' beings observing spatial relations, free of measurement, as dynamic and transformational. ......
Problem-based instruction (PBI) is a research-based, student-centered instructional strategy that uses rich mathematical tasks to connect students' previously acquired math knowledge to new mathematical concepts. Unlike traditional teaching and learning strategies, PBI facilitates learning by making connections between mathematical concepts and ......
