What are those teaching moments?

"I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit."

-John Steinbeck

Absorbing Markov Chain Presentation

For my discreet math class we were asked to do presentations on some mathematical model. I choose to do a section of our book titled "Absorbing Markov Chains." This is my presentation on the subject.

 I felt this project was a great tool for this type of class, because it asked students to explore a topic on their own, research it, write a paper to demonstrate their findings, and then give a professional presentation on the topic. This project could be adapted to a high school classroom by having students give presentations on math topics in my class to other students.
