in response to a request…

mathemagician

i don’t usually blog links… but as it’s a rare thing i trust you’ll indulge me.
i have a great mate who happens to be a very cool magician indeed… real name ‘ian carpenter’, often goes by the alias ‘mindwriter’… good bloke and all!
the reason i’m blogging about him is because i know some of you out there are teachers. you know who you are! anyhow… he does a really good, tried and tested (and it works well!) maths show. it is aimed solely at the national curriculum and is a perfect teaching tool as well as being inventive and entertaining. he is also now offering to tutor teachers in some magical maths based skills for use in their own lessons. how cool is that!? so… if you are a maths teacher, or sometimes have to take a sick maths teachers lesson, or if you have friends or colleagues who are… let them know. i kid you not when i say he is excellent.
i’ve added his link to the side of this blog. mindwriter go to the page entitled ‘mathemagician’. when you’ve done that, check out his new blog.
hope this is helpful to some of you. cartoon coming up later!

here are two cartoons inspired by daves rant (no.11) from the last competition. his ’statement of faith’ rant (line 4 i think) was what started me thinking. thanks dave! more cartoons of your own inspiring coming soon.
