Quick shift: I'm teaching surface area/volume today and was going to just do several "calculate the surface area/volume of this solid." I know that's kind of dry so now I'm doing "Which has the greater surface area/volume?" so students predict and use math to find the answer.
I helped a student make sense of direct proof, proof by contradiction and proof by contrapositive today, and it was quite successful, so I want to share it with you.

This is a neat website over at Google Labs: GenType (labs.google/gentype). It made these alphabets for me out of pencils, numbers and letters, origami, Celtic knots.
So much of what I used to do with any math handout was to remove stuff from it, so instead of teaching like a pirate, maybe teach like the copy machine is broken.
This lesson was over 11 years ago when I removed everything. fawnnguyen.com/teach/let-prob…
@fermatslibrary √2 = a/b leads to a^2 = 2 b^2
Left hand side : even number of prime factors
Right hand side : odd number of prime factors
Hence √2 can’t be rational.
It works for any other prime number.
In the world's largest vacuum chamber, a bowling ball and feathers are used for a real-life demonstration of a concept Galileo first proposed over 400 years ago.
