Gerofsky, S. (2007). “because you can make things with it”: A rationale for a project to teach mathematics as a multimodal design tool in Secondary Education. Journal of Teaching and Learning, 5(1). https://doi.org/10.22329/jtl.v5i1.126
This article discusses the ways that mathematics education can be contextualized for students. In the article, there is a discussion of the importance, in math education, of making learning immersive and hands-on. It discusses how math can sometimes feel disembodied or disconnected from the lives and interests of students. I feel that this sentiment can be transferred to physics education. This is related to my inquiry because I am purposing a fully immersive experience for students to relate physics to something they might find interesting, hands-on, and relatable (a magic show). The reason I chose this article is that I am connecting with the author about my topic and before I draft questions for her, I would like to fully understand her area of specialization in order to prompt these questions.
