Teacher Tip #18: Celebrate Math Month!
April is Math Awareness Month.
Numbers are magical things! Here's a tip to add some number learning fun to your day: check out the NumberADay blog!
Amaze your students with new facts daily, and challenge them to come up with their own quirky number knowledge to share! Did you know that 314 is the only number that, together with its 6th power (958468597212736), has each digit from 1 to 9 occurring exactly twice? It's also the area code for St. Louis! Pretty neat!
ThinkFun LOVES Math!
Few people love math more than ThinkFun's Tanya Thompson, former math teacher and lifelong puzzler. Tanya heads Inventor Relations, searching for the next great game and blogging about her adventures.
ThinkFun CEO Bill Ritchie has been a math and puzzle lover his whole life. Bill and Tanya recently attended the Gathering for Gardner, a conference honoring famed mathematician Martin Gardner, who wrote the Mathematical Games column for Scientific American. See Bill's video of the Gathering on his new blog!
And speaking of math... ThinkFun will be attending next week's National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Annual Expo in San Diego. Please stop by Booth #1649 and say hello to Bill, Tanya, and Charlotte!
