This is my first experience Blogging. Even though this Blog was given as an assignment for Ed Ps 6430, I'm always willing to try something new. As soon as I finish reading the material that Dr. Monson assigned to us this week, I will have something a little more profound to say about Instructional Design. Until then, I will tie this Blog over with the story behind Mathamazement.
Mathamazement has become a personal trademark. Some years back when I took some time off from teaching math in public schools, I began teaching hands-on fun math courses for the University of Utah Youth Institute. I had to come up with a catchy name that would entice parents and students to want to enroll. Mathamazement did the trick. I use the expression mathamazement now to refer to any mathematics that is fun and engaging. I also use it as a random title for items such as this Blog.

I enjoyed hearing your story of teacher, turned to mom, to "Mathamazement" creator. I'm looking forward to hearing more!

All right . . . let's try this again (for some reason, my comments aren't appearing. sorry if you get this multiple times)
ReplyDeleteMathamazement! Very cool! I'm a math person too (sometimes a teacher, sometimes a tutor). We should talk sometime. Are you in the IDET program?
