Create an Education Packet

Get my kids to work on a worksheet each day. Get them working on the Raspberry Pi or Scratch.

Find what teachers need, and concerns. Things to research:

• The Carnival of Math
• Videos - Cosmos learning Math
• an edu blog, and secondary school recommendations
• accessible Diophantine equations

Getting Started:

• http://www.mttcs.org/Projekte/Squeak/material/i3learning.pdf
• show progress
• a phratch video
• Start a code club
• tips for 1st year teachers
• Find Material from Girls Talk Math
• the Central Limit Theorem

Things to Work on:

• better Fibonacci examples and this
• free to learn
• eToys or scratch could model this ant Turing machine
• explain encryption (a little vague)

Goal: http://innovate.champaignschools.org/

• https://twitter.com/algebrafact/status/539983206452584448

Grand Goals:

• Use some of the big problems: https://math.dartmouth.edu/~carlp/
• graph theory for kids

Regular expressions as games

Other Links:

• Math news
• Look into Dr Geo Blog
• Meta - math defense
• A liberated Mathematician
• Math/CS - https://rjlipton.wordpress.com/2010/11/07/what-is-a-complexity-class/
• Follow mathematicians on twitter
• Investigate Code Paradise

Good examples/motivation:

• Tile Patterns
• UIUC math Ph.D. - David Blackwell
• a Math lament - look for ways to create curiosity

Motivation from Calculus Made Easy:

Math lectures on YouTube:

• Harvard Abstract Algebra
  • video 12 (fixing an element/fixing a line)
  • 13: definitions should be followed by examples, like trivial subgroups
  • 22: Homomorphisms - maps between groups, every isomorphism is a Homomorphisms
  • image of G1 on G2 - compare to column space in linear algebra
  • 25: to find a non-normal subgroup, look to non-abelian groups like S3
  • 28: homomorphism from Sn to GLnR - matrix of 0 and 1s, there is a 1 in i,j if σ(j)=i (0 otherwise)
• Strang Linear Algebra
