This book (and supplement), based in large part on the Fibonacci Numbers and the golden ratio (golden mean) has grown to be somewhat of a math teaching classic and resource book in its sixteen years of existence. Three teachers recently offered these unsolicited endorsements: I teach a 6-7-8th grade gifted and talented class in Socorro, New Mexico. This book is fabulous! It is my full sixth grade curriculum! I branch from it to literature, writing, poetry, science and other subjects. I have never seen a book so student-friendly, and subject-inclusive. It pulls math concepts through all subject areas.

TSM-4: Mathematics Resources on the Internet
Day Conference for Teachers
Monday 11 May 1998
Oundle School, Peterborough
Introduction: Michelle Ashworth, CTI Mathematics
This is a practical session to illustrate some of the ways in which the World Wide Web can be used as a resource for teachers and learners of mathematics. Browsing the Internet can be very time-consuming, so the following selection has been made to save time during this session. Many of the descriptions have been taken or modified from the documents themselves; some are lessons or interactive materials, others are mathematical tools. Many of these sites are listed in the CTI Mathematics information gateway . These represent resources of all kinds, including links to mathematical organisations and projects developing Web resources for teaching and learning in mathematics.
Information about using the Internet for teaching mathematics
CampusWorld How to Guide to mathematics
CampusWorld is part of the BT Internet web site and provides help and support on how to use the service and the Internet in a variety of ways. This guide provides some ideas for mathematics teachers who wish to make use of this exciting medium.
Selection of North American sites containing resources for teachers of mathematics
Math Forum Internet Resource Collection for mathematics
The Math Forum is a Centre for Math Education on the Internet funded by the National Science Foundation. The goal of Math Forum is to build a community that can be a center for teachers, students, researchers, parents, educators, citizens at all levels who have an interest in mathematics education. Includes links to a vast number of resources such as

Learn something that you are interested in learning, learn it any way that you want, and convey what you learned any way that you want. This is a generalized version of Multiple Intelligences that I have been involved with since the 1970's. If you choose to give an oral presentation, please notify me by November 30 or sooner. The following contains a partial list of what some have done in past semesters (some are from the 1970's!). Humor and creativity are most welcome!

Refreshing insights into the learning and doing of some important mathematics, by young people (while doing lots of arithmetic, using many hands-on materials, science to math activities, and the non-trivial use of calculators and computers) for children, as well as adults. Don assumes only that a student can count. Try sample problems from Don's books by chapter!

    Green fingered mathematics
    There has always been a close link between plants and mathematics. The simple counting of petals can reveal the number sequence that was identified by Fibonacci: lilies have 3 petals, buttercups 5, delphiniums 8 and ragwort 13 onto michaelmas daisies and sunflowers with 34, or even 55 petals. Similar patterns can be seen in seed heads (sunflowers) and tree branches. OSMOSIS 20, 2001 ). Another idea would be to make daily recordings of the growth of a fast plant (rapid cycling brassicas). Here we describe an activity (How tall are you in leaves?) that can be used as an example of making non-standard measurements and hence illustrating the importance of using standard measurements. This is part of the new Green Fingered Mathematics workshop that has been developed for primary teachers (

    Count Down:
    Six Kids Vie for Glory at the World's Toughest Math Competition
    by Steve Olsen
    Reviewed by Kathryn Weld
    In 1998, a room of approximately thirty teenagers listened to Brian Conrey give a lecture on elementary number theory lecture. First came a crash course in terminology and notation, including recursive definition and the definition and notation for "a divides b". After introducing the Fibonacci numbers, Conrey invited the students to try to prove that the 5th Fibonacci number divides every 5th Fibonacci number that comes afterwards. After a few minutes, a quiet voice said, "I think it can be generalized. I think F n divides F mn It was thirteen-year-old Tienkai Liu. As the story goes, Conrey began stalling for time, asking for ideas on how to prove it, and for examples. "But I can prove it!" replied Tienkai, and he marched up to the board and gave a beautiful proof. Tienkai Liu was one of the six high school students on the 2002 US International Mathematics Olympiad team. Count Down is the story of those six members and the problems they solved on that Olympiad. The book is as fascinating as the individuals themselves, who, in addition their passion for mathematics and problem solving, enjoy word games, music, politics, creative writing, and sports.
