Teaching Mathematics Through Storytelling
Chandra BalakrishnanHSS - Room 23
Stories are the primary way we make sense of the world--the way we think. Yet we tend to teach mathematics devoid of both story and context. In this workshop, we will explore the key components of stories and some of the ways they can be used to effectively teach mathematical concepts.
As a Mathematics Instructor in the K-12 system for over 20 years and a Faculty Member in the Department of Mathematics at Thompson Rivers University, Chandra has explored the many ways storytelling can be used to teach mathematical concepts.
