Lesson Plans and Lectures
• Written on a scrap of paper
• Ink on your hands• Chalk on your hands
![Page 3: Lecture with Power (point) Teaching Math in the 21 st Century Dr. Steve Armstrong LeTourneau University Longview, TX .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649ce55503460f949b3541/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Problems
• "By definition this is an isosceles triangle."
• "Then a miracle occurs"
• "Let's all write this down"

Advantages of Presentation Software
• Animation• Consider the position of an object as a
function of time• The x coordinate is a function of time
x = f(t)• The y coordinate is a function of time
y = g(t)

Advantages of Presentation Software
• Have slides, will lecture
• "I'm ready for you to teach me what I missed when I was absent yesterday"

NaysayersEdward Tufte, in Wired Article 11/9/2003
• PowerPoint is evil and corrupts communication
• Students who use PowerPoint would do better to learn to write sentences and paragraphs
• Multiple slides stack information in time – results in loss of meaning, perceived relationships

ResponseDoug Johnson, 11/1/2005 Column from Education
World• PowerPoint doesn't bore people:
people bore people.• Choosing the wrong tool for the job is
not the tool's fault.• The same hammer can both break
windows and build cathedrals.
• Good visuals can be exceptionally powerful – many of us are visual learners

Response
• Our purposes are …• Communicate concepts• Attract students' attention, interest• Use text, formulas, graphics, tables
• Our purposes do not include ...• "Memorize these slides by Tuesday"• "Follow along in your book"• "Read together with me"

The Plot Thickens
We plot ordered pairs (x-coord, y-coord)
Where would we plot (4, -2)?
• (2, 1)
•(-1, -3)
• (-5, 1)

Line 'em Up
A line is a collection of points• When the x-coordinate is zero it intercepts the
y-axis
• When the y-coordinate is zero, it intercepts the x-axis
x-intercept
y-intercept

Horizontal, Vertical Lines
Horizontal linesy = 12
• Note: slope is 0
Vertical linesx = 7
• Note: slope is infinite, or "no slope"

Tips
1. Use it as a tool to make math compelling.
2. Keep it simple• Transitions• Object appearances
3. Minimize details in slides. 4. Don't parrot PowerPoint. 5. Don't talk on top of your slides.
Don't parrot PowerPoint
Don't parrot PowerPoint
PowerPoint's lure is the capacity to convey ideas and support a speaker's remarks in a concise manner. That's hard to do through a haze of numbers and statistics. For the most part, most effective PowerPoint displays don't overwhelm viewers with too many figures and numbers. Instead, leave those for a later, more thorough digestion in handouts distributed at presentation's end. If you want to emphasize a statistic in PowerPoint, consider using a graphic or image to convey the point. "For instance, when I once was talking about the prevalence of Alzheimer's patients, I used a photograph of an old woman rather than just throwing up a number on the screen," Kerr says.
