Monograph No. 9

56 Ideas – Make It, Take It

December 1987

Publication of the Mathematics Council of The Alberta Teachers’ Association

Acknowledgements

The Mathematics Council of The Alberta Teachers’ Association (MCATA) acknowledges the contribution of the following school districts and of teachers within those districts who made this publication possible:

Calgary School District No. 19
Edmonton Roman Catholic Separate School District No. 7
Edmonton School District No. 7
John Wilson Elementary School, Innisfail
(County of Red Deer School District No. 23)

The MCATA also acknowledges the contribution of William C. Bober, who has retired from the Edmonton Roman Catholic Separate School District. Bill organized the “Make and Take” sessions for the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Canadian Conference, held in Edmonton, October 1986. School systems and teachers were contacted, submissions were screened, and the sessions were organized. Conference materials were edited and arranged in the order presented in this publication.

The MCATA extends a special note of appreciation to the many volunteers who assisted Bill in preparing materials for the Canadian Conference.

John Percevault, editor of delta-K, compiled the materials provided by Bill. Many of the actual models that were provided by teachers have been omitted due to space limitations. However, instructions for development of the models are included.

Finally, the Mathematics Council acknowledges with thanks the work of Central Word Services staff at the provincial ATA office, most particularly the special efforts of Sharon Wood, Lil Fletcher, and Terry Ho, in the production of this monograph.
