I have never seen my class more spellbound for 60 minutes as they were for Bob Bishop, the Math-Magician. His program generated many interesting discussions later in the classroom setting.
Mr. Bishop’s activities make math an exciting mind expanding experience.
Fast-paced, hands-on way to learn to teach mathematical concepts using games.
This is the best workshop my district has offered. I now have ready-to-use ideas to use with all my students. These games will really reinforce skills while teaching kids to think!
Excellent tools to gain insight to self and ways to respond to and motivate others.
Bob Bishop, creator of Odyssey Learning Adventures, has loved math, games, and puzzles since he was a child. He has been a classroom teacher for High School, Middle school and teaching Gifted students on an Elementary School level for 13 years. He has presented his programs to hundreds of schools and thousands of students nationwide and in Taiwan.
Appearing as Mister X (The Illusionist), The Math Magician, Einstein, or even the Zany Dr. Lamebrain, he teaches teachers with keynotes and workshops and gives students long remembered workshops and assemblies. His classroom experience and training in brain-based education gives him unique insight into the vital need for quality math education to keep our country on the innovative edge.
Bob’s commitment and passion for math are obvious as he teaches. Bob’s programs are fun, dynamic and intellectually engaging.
