“A math teacher’s presentation to other middle and high school teachers”

This site is a companion to the presentation “Math in the Movies – Using movie clips for motivation and mathematical connections.”

Movie clips are known to attract the interest of students and are often considered as efficient and real-life applications of mathematical topics since they are more fun, creative and more engaging. Using three-minute clips from well-known movies, one can determine the stage for a lesson or show a problem to solve for the students. The presentation will consist of different movie clips currently being used as learning materials with ninth and tenth graders.
