Dear Colleagues, Friends, & Supporters,
Our new blog by Prof. Phil Hotchkiss describes how we are using the movie "The Proof" to help students understand the process of doing mathematics. Most of them have never heard of a living mathematician! Read our students' reflections on the role of mistakes, emotion, collaboration, and creativity in the process of doing mathematics.
Some of us are in Europe already and we are looking forward to two conferences here: We are facilitating a workshop at the International Congress on Mathematical Education in Hamburg and are giving a talk at the Imaginary Conference in Berlin.
Are you interested in visiting Westfield and joining some IBL classes for a day or two? We have updated our schedule for Fall 2016 and would love to collaborate with you!
Sincerely,
Julian Fleron, Phil Hotchkiss, Volker Ecke, & Christine von Renesse
p.s. In case you have missed it: our website now allows faculty to create a free account and access teacher materials to some of our books. We are working on completing the teacher materials for all the books. Please have a look and tell us what you think.
