• Summer Workshop, "Math Machines: Connecting Math, Science and Technology," Aug. 5-9, 2013, Mariemont High School, Cincinnati, Ohio

The mission of our organization is to improve the quality of mathematical education, enhance the transfer of mathematical thinking into other classes, and increase students’ ability to apply rigorous mathematics outside the classroom. Our primary tool for carrying out this mission is “math machines”—simple devices which give an immediate, physical, dynamic expression to “abstract” mathematical equations. FIRST TIME HERE? You might want to read the rationale behind this project and view photos and evaluations from past workshops.

Mar. 25, 2013.
* Math Machines will conduct a workshop Aug. 5-9 in Cincinnati, open to all STEM educators. Click here for more information and an application form.
* We have again updated the computer software for the Function Plane, adding support for NEW types of activities related to CNC automation and to circular motion. There is also a NEW YouTube video demonstrating use of the software in "Robotic Penny Pitcher."
* Software which allows a TI-83 or TI-84 calculator (any version) to control the Function Plane is also available for free download.
* 18 activities for the Function Plane and 4 for the RGB Color Mixer are available as pdf files for free download. (Editable Word files and teacher materials are available to workshop participants.)
