A February 8, 2008 story by Daniela Simunac on the front page of the London Free Press featured the Math Performance Festival spearheaded by Dr. George Gadanidis, Faculty of Education, University of Western Ontario.
“The goal is to make math more appealing, a concept many math teachers have introduced into their curriculum….’Children don’t talk about math at home, or if they do, it’s usually in a negative light’, he [Dr. Gadanidis] said.
‘We want to show that math can be discussed with family and friends as you would a good book or a movie.’ Gadanidis said.”
