Mr. Honner from the mathematics department is excited to share a new series he has written for the New York Times Learning Network that turns mathematician Steven Strogatz’s wonderful “Math, Revealed” essays into teaching and learning resources.
The first installment is about Taxicab geometry, and includes reading and discussion prompts, activities from algebra to calculus, and suggestions from Professor Strogatz himself. If you’ve ever wondered how π could equal 4, or what a perpendicular bisector looks like under the taxicab metric, check it out!
You can find the first article here, and look for new articles on topics like Golden Ratio and Triangle numbers each Tuesday at the New York Times Learning Network over the next few weeks.
