Performing Research Ideas

Another resource page coming out of the Western University and Fields Institute collaboration is the Performing Research Ideas page.  On this site you will find several documentaries, mp3 files of math songs, and lesson plans that explore interesting concepts like "Do Parallel Lines Ever Meet?" and "Can I Hold Infinity in My Hand?"  The student creativity that is on display in the videos and songs is astounding!

Learning all starts with a great question and the math to explore the answer.
