Boo!
The really scary thing is that I have been keeping up on the blogging. Hopefully, I will keep it going past my usually week long sprint.
From my great people in my PLN on Twitter, some illusions and neuroscience ghosts to help in your classes for Halloween.
What I like best in the illusions is the geometry connection to the sarcophagus illusion. This one provides students a chance to explore the measurements of the geometry of a parallelogram. I think that more constructions need to be done in geometry classes to get a tangible feel for the shapes and solids. Main reason why I remember that a cone has 1/3 of the volume of a column with the same height and base is because we actually measured it!
The attractions to the neuroscience ghosts is, again, the fact that students must do something. This should encourage students to ask questions! The bigger challenge is to prevent the teacher from providing the answers. We should encourage more questions!
Happy Halloween!
