[BlindMath] AMS: Wed 3 Jan: Use of 3D printing etc to enhance math learning

[Jonathan Fine]

Hi

The American Math Society is on Wednesday next week holding two special
sessions on using 3D-printed and other digitally-fabricated objects in the
math classroom. Do you have any special wishes regarding tactile objects
for blind math students? If so, then reply to this message and I'll pass
them on to the organisers of these sessions.

The topics in the special sessions are listed below. Are any of them
relevant to you?

* Illustrating multivariable calculus concepts in the Makerspace
* Supporting Student Understanding Of 3D-Coordinate Systems in
Multivariable Calculus
* Enhancing Multivariable Calculus Instruction with 3D-Printed Models
* Learning Activities using 3D-Printed Models to Explore Volumes of
Revolution & Partial Derivatives
* Three-Dimensional Manipulatives in Integral Calculus: Student Achievement
and Confidence in Solids-of-Revolution Tasks
* 3D Printing and its applications towards learning and student
comprehension in Calculus 3 Classrooms.
* Feeling geometry in images and models
* Exploring geometry with non-Euclidean paper
* Learning by doing with 3D printing
* Using 3D Modeling Projects and 3D-Printed Objects to Improve College
Mathematics Course Learning Outcomes

Here's the URLs for the two sessions.
