"
I found Mr. Hart’s presentation to be a superb motivator for the students.
His obvious love for math and learning permeated my classroom.
I, myself, was greatly touched by his knowledge both professionally and
personally. As I observed the students’ eyes light up during his
presentation, I couldn’t help but notice their genuine indulgence into
his message. Mr. Hart demonstrated the relevance of math in their lives,
as well as the fun that can be associated with learning mathematics.
I would strongly recommend Mr. Hart’s service for any
academic setting."

"The
Baker Middle School math dept. has hosted Prof. Hart for the past four
years. His lively, entertaining, presentations are informative and
promote lively discussions in class afterwards. His love of
mathematics is conveyed to students at all levels in a very personable
and humorous style. We highly recommend Hart as both an outstanding
teacher and motivational guest speaker." |

"Cranbrook
Middle School has hosted Prof. Hart on three separate occasions. As we
encourage our students in their mathematical endeavors, Hart's
programs couldn't be more appropriate. His mathematical expertise,
sense of humor, and obvious love of mathematics is appreciated by both
students and faculty. We hope to bring back his interesting,
motivational program again next year." |

"On
behalf of the Jeannette Junior High Math Club and its parent coaching
staff, and the Jeannette Mathematics Department, I want to whole
heartedly say THANK YOU for sharing the lighter side of math. Your
presentation was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The delight was evident by
the total attention given you by the students and parents that
attended. You most definitely provided us with many thought-provoking
scenarios, and engaged our attention. The highly interactive nature of
the program, your sense of humor, your love and fascination with
mathematics make this a wonderful program. When I ask the students
"what events should we plan next?" many respond by
saying "Can we invite Prof. Hart to come back and show us more
neat tricks and facts?" Keep up the excellent work.” |

"Through
your incredible versatility in music, magic, and teaching, you
provided a stimulating, motivating, and challenging program for
students and teachers alike. Being able to establish rapport with
sixth, seventh, and eighth graders is, in itself, a challenge. You met
that challenge with ease as you captured their attention right from
the beginning. Some comments I heard from students were:
He's awesome!... How
does he do that?... He must be
a genius.... I kept wondering what he would do next...
He sure is some trumpet player...
The time went so fast --too fast...
Can he come back again?... When
I get home, I'm going to try to trick my parents...
He should make a video like Bill Nye the Science Guy, but call
it Bill Hart the Musical Mathemagician... I'll bet he's a great grampa.
Mr.
Hart, you were an inspiration to us. We hope it will be possible for
you to return next year. We're anxious to find out what else you have
in your "box of tricks."

"To
Whom It May Concern:
Looking for an educational assembly that will both captivate
and involve students in the field of mathematics?
Look no further. Professor William Hart has an outstanding
program for middle school students that encourages problem solving and
use of logic in the most interesting way through the use of
mathematics. Professor Hart calls his program The Joy, Wonder, and Fun
of Mathematics --and that is what he brings to the students.
I
have had Bill present for us on two separate occasions. The audience
size was about 140 for each of the programs. Throughout the day, he
kept them spellbound. His quick wit and understanding of adolescents
helps him reach all groups of students.
He can follow up with classroom visitations (math on a cart). I
am hoping to bring him back to Carter Middle School to work with
smaller groups. As the students are being seated, Hart livens up the
room with his "mean" trumpet--the students truly enjoy that.
I highly recommend his program".

"After
your three assemblies this morning, I sat down with the other four
teachers of mathematics. The five of us agreed that your programs were
worthwhile, engaging, and fun.
We ask that you return in September to do this again. Please
call when you can, and we'll try to select a date."

"We
were very pleased with your programs. The undivided attention and
participation of our students showed that math can indeed be fun and
useful. You are to be commended for going beyond the traditional
textbook paradigm. You would definitely be welcomed back. Keep up the
good work." |
