Performing arts such as juggling, music, dance, magic, and drama can enrich the mathematics classroom. Beyond entertaining students, such demonstrations can offer new and novel perspectives on mathematical content and engage a class in a fun, educational and interactive activity. This seminar will explore ways to demonstrate and discuss creative ways of teaching and presenting mathematics using techniques generally associated with entertainment and the performing arts. The seminar will explore presenting in different performing styles and also using pre-recorded content available online or through DVDs.
