What is Math Made Visual: Creating Images for Understanding Mathematics (Classroom Resource Material) about?

Often, the best way to teach a proof is by drawing an image that illustrates the ideas. While mathematics is based on abstract concepts, humans are creatures whose intuition is largely based on images. This book describes many ways in which concepts can be visually represented and these images truly are worth a thousand symbols. Part I consists of twenty chapters, which are called: \*) Representing numbers by graphical elements \*) Representing numbers by lengths of segments \*) Representing numbers by areas of plane figures \*) Representing numbers by volumes of objects \*) Identifying key elements \*) Employing isometry \*) Employing similarity \*) Area-preserving transformations \*) Escaping from the plane \*) Overlaying tiles \*) Playing with several copies \*) Sequential frames \*) Geometric dissections \*) Moving frames \*) Iterative procedures \*) Introducing colors \*) Visualization by inclusion \*) Ingenuity in 3D \*) Using 3D models \*) Combining techniques Each chapter has several sections where a specific type of problem is examined in each section. For example, the three sections of chapter 1 are: \*) Sums of odd integers \*) Sums of integers \*) Alternating sums of
