An exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, including the topics: "Teaching Mathematics and Science in the Home" and "Techniques of Learning"

My name is Patrick Honner. I teach mathematics at Brooklyn Technical High School, a large, public, specialized high school in Brooklyn, New York. As a NYC public school teacher I have taught everything from Introductory Algebra to Multivariable Calculus.  I mentor student research in mathematics, and I am actively involved in extracurricular mathematics programs both in my school and around New York City. Math research is an instructional focus of mine. Independent, investigative, mathematical research projects can be crafted by and for students at all levels of knowledge, in all areas of interest. A primary objective of MrHonner.com is to exhibit the math all around us in order to stimulate question-posing and hypothesizing, the first steps in structuring a good research project. I am a two-time recipient of Math For America's Master Teacher Fellowship, and I am active in MfA's professional community.

"It is the age-old question every student asks: "When will I ever use this math in real life?" While it may seem that long division and pi are not applicable to life outside of the classroom, visitors to "MathAlive!" will learn exactly the opposite-math is actually a big part of all the things they love" Includes a description of exhibits for the Smithsonian event beginning March 10
