In order to write a poem about a math concept you must understand it. Cinquin poetry is a good way to begin. Other creative and fun projects are cartoons, riddles and sports like commentary about a particular math concept. If you wish to try a more involved writing project. We suggest one that can be done in a group.
Group work is a good way for students to interact with the instructor and each other.
A class that interacts has less absenteeism . The student feels more connected to the class. We usually partition the class into groups of four. Group work can be a homework problem session. Our group work is often a data driven project or a computer lab project.
