This mathematics article provides the answer to that age old student question: When will we ever use this in real life? Well the answer as it turns out could be given in the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is an article with questions to check comprehension and inspire mathematical thinking with real life connections. I am very happy with this small series of mathematics articles and they are rich with information and the why and when of mathematics. Each mathematics article includes a fun fact(s) to add to the knowledge gained from this article. Formatted in an easy to read and digest manner, each paragraph is numbered to help with referencing and each question answer has a paragraph reference number to point to the specific information (where applicable). They also have two images as well to give a bit of visual flair for students to enjoy. WHY / WHEN TO USE: Useful for substitute (sub) teaching To extend students To increase English literacy in your class A weekly reading task To teach mathematics and English in an interdisciplinary manner Great as a lesson filler when class goes too fast To inspire students on a particular topic To get students to connect the mathematics they are learning to real life WHAT’S INCLUDED: 3 page Word doc teacher version with answers 2 page Word doc student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) 3 page PDF teacher version with answers 2 page PDF student version without answers (but space left to do so) More will be coming to cover other subjects and other topics, so please do keep an eye out for more science articles from The Teaching Astrophysicist!
