Welcome to my international Math friends

Since 2000 I've been a member of ALM and through the membership I've got at lot of good friends all over the world.

This part of my web site is made for them.

If you want to have a go on my site for Danish Math teachers, then you're welcome. But it's all in Danish.

Here you'll find links to some of the workshops, papers and presentations I've given at ALM conferences or other places where I made my handouts and presentation in English.

Visual Numeracy (Dublin May 2005 and ALM13 in Belfast 2006)
At workshops I gave focus on how art can be used to introduce simple maths problems.

I gave a similar presentation at ALM11 in Kungälv, Sweden June 2004.

Teaching Numeracy Through Art (London May 2004 and ALM9 in Uxbridge July 2002)
At the workshop I'll give examples of how to use Art as an entrance to working with simple math problems. Examples and ideas are given with art pieces from established artists as well as art pieces made by the adult students. The latter grows from a self-made piece of art with simple figures into an object, which naturally involves calculations in the field of proportions, fractions, equations, the golden rectangle, permutations etc.. Websites with material will be recommended.

Right now I am working at VUC Syd in Copenhagen , where, besides teaching, I spend a lot of time developing new ways of flexible and web-based learning.

Two dilemmas in Communicating Mathematics in Adult Basic Courses

  1. ‘How to meet pre-knowledge of adult learners’
  2. ‘How to support democratic classroom decisions’
