Instant Relevance, written by Denis Sheeran, is an inspirational book for educators that reads like a series of blog posts or letters. Each chapter takes the reader through Sheeran’s trials and tribulations as he finds ways to bring real-world problems into his math classroom.
Through anecdotes, Sheeran provides practical advice and tips on how to go beyond textbook equations and engage students more actively in learning concepts of mathematics. Instant Relevance reminds us that acknowledging and embracing the opportunities outside the classroom walls gives us a chance to understand the world mathematically truly.
