NDMATYC 2008

Dear Colleagues,

I enjoyed my visit to North Dakota very much.  Thank you for the warm reception.  Below you will find links to the transparencies shown in the presentations, along with links to some of the websites mentioned during the weekend.  I hope you will try some of the transparencies in your classes, and that you give yourself permission to use five minutes of any class period for whatever you find interesting in, and around, mathematics. 

If you have any questions or comments for me, please email me at

 pat@mckeague.com.

Thanks again for a wonderful weekend.

Pat McKeague

Postage Stamps of Mathematicians This page contains postage stamps involving mathematics.  You will find many things here that you can use in class.

Fractal Zoom Movies  Toward the bottom of this page is the free movie player that you can download to play the other fractal zoom movies the were shown in the presentation.

Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary  This is the Merriam-Webster online dictionary.  If you have on-line access in your classroom, this is a good place to go to look up definitions during class.  For example, look up the definition for scientific notation.  I think you will like it.
