I’m a brand new math teacher. School starts in week. I’m still not sure what courses I’ll be teaching, in title, though from the reports of other teachers I’ll be lucky if the students have a background in pre-algebra.

I was taking a break from some of the other prep work and trying to think about room decorations. Googled “posters for math class” in the hopes of finding some inspiration that I’d be able to rasterbate. And that led me here.

The only problem is that now I’m spending time in your archives and on a variety of your links doing more passive prep instead of the actual hammering out details of my class. Thank you!

but technically it was a no go.

In the meantime Darth is on the wall and I would like to add “Do The Math” but have not come up with a concept yet. I was also hunting for an image of Martin Luther King to go with the quote character plus intelligence = true education, or KRS-One with his title of “The teacher/teacha”, or some graffiti preferably with “Bronx” in it (where I teach). But I’ve decorated with other stuff in the meantime.

It is an ongoing problem for the semi-skilled such as myself. Back when you posted some slides with images of the Pentagon I went hunting for some simple things like the cookie monster and was disappointed with the lack of results.

Thanks for the stock exchnage tip.

Any tips of finding images? Google images has yielded very little in my quests. After a post from a while back I broke out the digital camera which helped, am thinking about trying to rip and scan from magazines, even did a couple flickr searches.
