Yes, math textbooks are filled with boring, static blocks of text, numbers, and formulas. And nobody, especially students don’t like long tutorials. So, how will students, our future, learn the hardest subject, Mathematics, at school?

In situations like these, I think there is an alternative way to teach Mathematics. It is “the GIFs.” Yes, those funny little video clips that you are always seeing on Twitter. You can ask this;

“How could those goofy moving images be used for education?”

And I can say that fortunately, there are actually so many ways to use GIFs in our classrooms. Although using GIF animations as a technological tool that is very rare in mathematics education, you can do things with these animations that you can’t do with plain text. For instance, instead of telling the students the directions over and over again, just make a GIF for each step. And then the students will see and know it’s important and remember all those parts of a solution or formula. You will keep your students learning and laughing. It could be a cool way to be the coolest…
