Hi Eggman!

"Your message struck a chord with everyone involved, and you did a great job of furthering our knowledge around truly engaging students!"


"I liked the way you looked at how time is spent in the classroom - the handout was very practical!"


"We are truly fortunate that we have found Ray and that he is willing to come all the way here to share his wealth of knowledge and materials with us about his grand passion – Math (and Art)! "


"I will include Ray Appel in my list of most influential learning and professional development experiences..."


I'm Ray Appel... Educational Consultant, Faculty Associate (SFU), PhD student... living in Vancouver, BC.

When you look on my site, you'll see that I'm so much more than math. I see myself as a teacher and educator who can support you in many areas of education! I really miss my students across the years, but I'm now able to learn with many students, teachers and administrators across the country, as well as from the many pre-service teachers I'm working with on a daily basis!

I'd love to thank you
and thank all the students too for teaching me sooooo much!

Please take a look at my site. Don't forget to click on the tiny tabs under the big tabs.

You'll see that I offer lots of FREE STUFF, and also have a variety of resources ranging from books, engaging learning activities, as well as picture books, movies and paintings!

Enjoy!

"Thanks, Ray - you are a one-of-a-kind educator, with a non-stop, boundary-pushing, creative mind!"


"Loved your sense of humour, your passion, the reassurance that this is something I can teach, the assurance that we can teach it in many different ways. I learned a lot!"

How can we get more time?
If you do something in your class for 15 minutes every day, that equals 2 full weeks of school time! Yikes! Ray gives a few ideas in just 180 seconds!



Yeti Goes for a Walk Two (the sequel)...
This is the sequel to Yeti's walk last summer. It's done in the style of those old annoying educational videos from the fifties and early sixties where the narrator totally patronized the school kids by treating them as if they didn't know anything... The narration is meant to be kind of annoying... it's all part of the show. Created with my iPhone. Lots of fun!




LATEST MOVIE!
Procedure and Concept have to solve a problem. Which orange juice recipe is stronger? One walks away with a procedure and a correct answer. The other walks away with a correct answer and a deep conceptual understanding by using one-half as a benchmark. Do we SKIP the concept over the procedure?
