Portfolio
This page is intended to be a set of quick links to work that I have created or projects I have been involved with.
Schools I have worked for
Feedback from parents and students
Books and Articles I have written
- Co-author of Heinemann Baccalaureate: Mathematical Studies, a textbook for the International Baccalaureate course IB Mathematical Studies. Here is a sample chapter in PDF format.
- Author of 9 articles in the Bangkok Post, a major English speaking newspaper in Thailand.
Projects I have done with my students
- My current math blog with my students. Notice how much of an improvement the process is with some refinement.
- A shared document where 2 of my classes stored their combined research.
- Here the students learn how to analyze quadratic functions using their own trebuchets.
- A website created by my calculus 12 students for review purposes, still in progress.
- My first class math blog with my students. Thanks to my old school for keeping it online.
Resources I have created for use with my students
- An algebra solver so my students could verify their work.
- Used Drake's equation with my Physics students so created this page to make it easier for them to manipulate the equation quickly.
- This fraction's game teaches students about the equivalency of various fractions, and converting between different fractions.
- Another game to learn how to estimate with fractions
- An implementation in Flash of the famous Game of Life designed by John Conway in 1970.
- Remember Logo? Here is simplified implementation of it in Php. Helps the students learn some basics of programming.
- This is a game that helps review factors of numbers with students.
- A tool for students to play around with Gaussian elimination.
- The classic game of Towers of Hanoi. Good for teaching sequences and some basic logic.
- A simple labyrinth game designed to teach students about the power of perspective.
- This tool lets students play around with simple mathematical networks (also known as graphs).
- A way for students to experiment with vector transformations.
- Couldn't find an online compass anywhere, so I whipped up this compass in Flash for a demonstration with my students.
- Students can use this to construct their own symbolic logic statements and quickly obtain the truth table.
- Interactive Venn diagrams for kids who need to click to get it.
- Quickly construct simplistic factor trees.
- A spaceship game as a reward for students finish early which is also helpful for teaching about acceleration and inertia.
Websites I have created (or helped create)
- pedagogle.com - A file sharing site for educators to upload and share their educational resources.
- openplanner.org - A collaborative effort with my friend Andrew. Open Educator intends to be a collaborative lesson and curriculum planning web portal.
- www.rism.ac.th/risweb - My current school's upcoming website developed with my colleague Lee. It's still in the beta stage so a lot of pages need updating.
- shedio.com - Work in progress, intended to showcase my Drupal development.
- www.britbornbajan.com - This is the first website I created for a friend of a friend. Looking back, it actually doesn't look all that bad for a beginner.
