The easiest way to wrap your mind around a math concept is to first wrap your hands around it. In Math Lab your students will do just that: they ll build number sequences with pennies, create works of art based on the Fibonacci sequence, draw ellipses guided by thread and pins, outline parabolas with folded notebook paper, trace heart-shaped cardioids with drinking cups, and explore the one-sided topography of Mobius strips - all hands-on. Your students will crack bar codes, solve puzzles, and learn to generalize in a cautious, responsible manner. From limits to logarithms, Math Lab builds math confidence while teaching math skills in a totally enjoyable way.
