Make: Math Teacher's Supplement

Make: Math Teacher's Supplement is the essential guide for teachers, parents, and other educators wanting to supplement their curriculum with Joan Horvath and Rich Cameron's Make: Geometry, Make: Trigonometry, and Make: Calculus books. This book is a companion to the three math books, and does not duplicate the content in them. Drawing on the authors' experience guiding both students and teachers, it covers:

• The philosophy behind the Make: math book series, including the key inclusion of universal design principles to make the material accessible to those who learn differently
• A list of topics, projects, and needed maker skills, tied to the math book chapters
• Key learning objectives and associated assessment ideas
• A practical primer on 3D printing in an educational environment
• Helpful tips to manage student 3D printed workflow
• Five specific examples of ways to use content from the math books, including studying geometry with castles and using LEGO bricks to demonstrate calculus concepts

Packed with tips and links to online resources, Make: Math Teacher's Supplement will let you see how to build math intuition to create a solid base for your learner's future.
