Jill Britton

Jill E. Britton (6 November 1944 – 29 February 2016) was a Canadian mathematics educator known for her educational books about mathematics.

Career

Britton was born on 6 November 1944. She taught for many years, at Dawson College in Westmount, Quebec,[1] moving in the late 1980s to Camosun College in Victoria, British Columbia.[1][2] At Camosun, she taught mathematics mainly to young women aiming to become elementary school teachers. Her own teaching had the goal of changing these students' attitude about mathematics from fear to enthusiasm.[2] She retired in 2015, and died on 29 February 2016.[1]

Publications

Britton was the author of mathematics books including:

  • Introduction to Tessellations (with Dale Seymour, Dale Seymour Publications, 1989)[3]
  • Tessellation Teaching Masters (with Dale Seymour, Dale Seymour Publications, 1989)[3]
  • Teaching Tessellating Art: Activities and Transparency Masters (with Walter Britton, Dale Seymour Publications, 1992)[4]
  • Explorations with Tesselmania! Activities for Math and Art Classrooms (Dale Seymour Publications, 1997)[5]
  • Investigating Patterns: Symmetry and Tessellations (Dale Seymour Publications, 2000)[6]
  • Polyhedra Pastimes (Dale Seymour Publications, 2001)[7]

She was also known for her "spectacular web site on symmetry and tessellations".[8]

Recognition

Britton was the 2008–2009 winner of the Teaching Excellence Award of the Association of Canadian Community Colleges.[9]
