So, are these your pages, and all of your lesson plans with children? If they
are, are these lesson plans of your own development, and I am curious to know
what inspired you to take this direct approach to math topics with children.
For my part, I fell into it, had made a set of Sierpinski tetrahedra and put
them in the math meeting room. It was the first set I ever built, a four color
Level Four family, made of regular-weight copy paper. But the mathematicians
got so excited about them. They were so excited about them they were acting
like little kids, and I thought, gee, if mathematicians are acting like
preschoolers around the tetrahedrons, what would happen if I put them in from of
preschoolers? I called the college of education preschool, we tried it, the
preschoolers loved them, and that is how it started.
What got you on this track?
