Fun(ctional)!
When my daughter was in 4th grade, I volunteer-taught a group of pull-out 4th–6th graders, so that she could have some peers to do math with.
You might enjoy this set of math worksheets I created for them. https://www.scribd.com/document/15720543/Squarrows https://www.scribd.com/document/15720543/Squarrows [EDIT: now also at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hfzm3Rvm4xpwp_xHUKBHxuIEgfecZkiI https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hfzm3Rvm4xpwp_xHUKBHxuIEgf...]
I was learning category theory at the time. I gave them some element-chasing problems so they could work on the same areas I was studying, although at a different level of abstraction.
We also did some stuff on permutahedrons, and relating single-character-replacement paths (I think Nabokov calls these “rooks path”, when each step is a word) from AAA → BBB, to geometric cubes, and 2³, etc., but I didn't collect the worksheets for those into the same document.
- gowld 8y agoIs there a non-scribd (Google Drive) way to download the PDF?
- osteele 8y agoI put it at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hfzm3Rvm4xpwp_xHUKBHxuIEgfecZkiI https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hfzm3Rvm4xpwp_xHUKBHxuIEgf.... Please let me know if that fails, and I’ll try to fix it.
- gowld 8y agoThank you!
- fiatjaf 8y agoScribd is the worst thing on the internet. Please stop using it.
- pbnjay 8y agoThanks! I think my 6yo would like doing these (though he doesn't have a strong grasp of multiplication/division yet).
- giu 8y agoThis is fantastic, good job! I'm currently teaching an introductory programming course using Python (for people who have never programmed), and the level of abstraction you are using in your worksheets inspired me to actually update the exercises on my worksheets I'm using for the course (e.g. break down concepts even further and use more repetitive tasks to actually help students get the hang of these concepts). Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas!
