Math
Wizards at Work are divided into trade areas that span
the entire
Career-Technical Education (CTE) curriculum so there is
something
here for
every
trade.
Buy the complete book of all 50 Wizards or
buy individual
Wizards that are best for your class. You can also buy
Wizards grouped by trade.
For
years in my
classes, I have had
a Wizard contest where the number of Wizards solved by each student
were
counted and posted on the bulletin board. At the end of the year the
top 3
students received hand made wizard candles! Who will be the Math Wizard
in your
class?
Math Wizards at Work is
ideal for CTE
vocational
teachers, high school math teachers, middle school math teachers, and
special education teachers. Math Wizards at Work is a
classroom
ready math resource that meets academic standards. Each of the Math Wizards At
Work is Standards based trade related math puzzles and problems. Use
them to
strengthen
word/open-ended problem skills for high stakes tests.
Have students
write out how they solved the Wizards, explain and defend each
step of the solution in paragraph form, and show all
work!
Praise for Math Wizards
at Work "Students found the Wizards
challenging and were
actively
engaged with solving the problem. I
can't
wait for more Wizards to use in my class." "We do not often find challenging
math problems from the academic world
that have a true connection to career and technical - most are
obviously
contrived, use numbers that make no sense in the real world, or use
situations
that are not applicable or, sometimes, ridiculous to the tradesmen.
So
far, I am receiving only good comments about Math Wizards."
-Michelle Bonser, Math
Integration Coach, Monroe Career & Technical Institute "My class spent almost
the
entire 2 ½ hour session
working on the set. Students drew diagrams, discussed and eventually
came to
the solutions. I liked it because the students were thinking and
working
together."
