"The Joy, Wonder, and Fun of Mathematics"

A highly interactive entertaining assembly to help

students love and respect the Queen of the Sciences.

Presented with love and enthusiasm by

1989-1990 Michigan's Professor of the Year, William Hart.

Math/music connections, matheMAGICAL tricks and "psychic" predictions performed, then explained, teasers, riddles, logic, mysteries of 9 and 0, probability, birthday coincidences, disturbing counterintuitive oddities, highly visual geometrical surprises, calendar patterns and tricks, problem solving strategies, drawing pictures to build meaning (avoiding mindless "symbol pushing").  Each of these "gems" in Hart's Mathematical Buffet is intended to produce the effect of "HMMM!"  OR "WOW”,  strengthening number sense and increasing curiosity.

The early elementary program is 35 minutes. High school, middle school, and upper elementary: 50 minutes.

Solid mathematical content. MEAP relevant. The content varies with the level of the audience to make each program age-appropriate and relevant to Grade Level Content Expectations and benchmarks.

On return visits, the content is new.  Hart visits some schools every year.
