Yes, sir.
That is exactly what I tell my students at the beginning of each year: Mathematics is a language, and I am going to help you learn to translate from English to Math and back.
Numerous times throughout the year, I correct grammar, tie-in Social Studies or Science, and the students tell me, “But you’re our math teacher.” I respond by telling them that I am their teacher who just happens to teach math class.
I am an advocate/facilitator of Gardner’s multiple intelligences learning styles. One of my favorite student projects was where a student illustrated the algorithm for dividing fractions using wood-burning. Another is the video a student created illustrating the Archimedes’ mirror to burn Roman ships. I still have those projects, which I share each year with the new-kids-on-the-block. There are others I have kept, but I will not elaborate anymore as alas it is buenos noches time.
I teach every day still and I find new ways to teach and learn something new every class. Been teaching military airplane drivers ed for over Thirty Years. The ultimate Adult Education Standardized Teaching!
You are now one of my heroes in education!
Check this out. You built these as a high school project in the first 1/2 of 20th century. You learned and made everything from scratch!
