Looking for math posters online is a sad story – most that are commercially available seem very cluttered/crowded, like textbook pages blown up to poster size, except that the color schemes are worse. Maybe some future competition on designing more general math/applied math/culture and history of math posters in the blogosphere would result in better work? Maybe odds would be improved if incorporation of feedback/critique were part of the process? A stock of pdf’s that anyone could print out to any desired size at Cinco’s could be another fine resource for new teachers!

I concur with Glenn, having a go was a lot of fun and I knew the standards would be high before I even finally submitted just by looking thru the links here in prior posts. I even showed Neal’s (and Glenn’s as well) to my staff as an intro for the keynote speaker at our school Professional Learning day and the whole concept of “Tell Your Story In 4 Slides” is one that has a lot of merit and legs as a staff development activity and in the classroom. Dan, this has been a great contest. I’ve learnt a lot more about effective communication from it as well.

Dan – Thanks for putting this together. The contest was a lot of fun. I showed my entries to my principal and he’s thinking of having the the whole staff do something similar to reflect their teaching philosophy. Neat!
