New Blog: Mathematical Palette

I will be away for three days for a teacher training in Nueva Ecija, a province about a hundred kilometers from Metro Manila, so your inbox will be quiet for about three to four days. 🙂 However, before the long “vacation,” I would like to shamelessly promote the Mathematical Palette — my new blog.  Yes, my new blog!

The Mathematical Palette is not about school mathematics, but rather a blog about math appreciation. In that blog, I will be discussing the connection between mathematics and other fields such as the arts, music, poetry, and other sciences.  I will also highlight the beauty and practical uses of mathematics (see Mathematical Palette: An Introduction for more details).

The first post titled Points, Pixels, and Pointillism is already live. I hope it would give you an idea of what I’m going to discuss in future posts. The site is still under construction (almost finished though), and I am very excited about it.  I have several titles already queued, and I am going to  write about them this coming weekend.

I hope that you will support and share about this new blog as you have supported Math and Multimedia.

Week in Review – February 2012 Week 1

Good afternoon to all.  We have visitors this morning, so I didn’t have the chance to post the weekly summary early.  Anyway, to those who want to catch up with their readings, here are this week’s posts.

Mathematics and Multimedia

My Other Blogs

Updated GeoGebra Tutorials (now in version 4.0)

To those who have time to read this weekend, you may want to visit the pages of Math and Multimedia.

That’s all for this week, see you again next week!

Introduction to the Wolfram Education Portal

Last year, I posted about Wolfram Alpha and the amazing computational document format developed by Wolfram Research.  Recently, Wolfram Research has opened the Wolfram Education Portal, a site dedicated for storing and sharing dynamic teaching and learning materials.  The portal contains free to use electronic textbooks in computational document format,  lesson plans, widgets, and interactive Demonstrations.  According to the website, a practice page with problem generators is currently being developed and will be online soon.

The website has several free sample teaching and learning materials but requires sign-up for full access.

The Wolfram Education Portal is currently in Beta, so I am not sure if the materials on the website will still be for free in the future.
