you can be creative teacher like him by taking advantage of different aspects of the stimulating environment we all live in to help us teach creatively.

 following resources that help teachers become creative teachers:

• music

Use rthymic patterns to make students learn ,learning is most effective when it is enjoyable

you can see one example here

• video

learing by watching is the fastest learning process, when videos are designed specifically for their audience,they can inspire.

books..interesting education video like you have seen about complex numbers can really develop the interest of students

• floor puzzles

Use of puzzles make the teaching environment relaxed and makes learning process not a serious affair but a lighter thing. it makes learing a enjoyable. tachers can also use it as a relaxing method during lecture, like dividing different puzzles between students for finding their partner in a working gruop. in this way all the students will work together a team.

• quizzes

 the definition of quiz is : it is a form of game or mind sport in which the student, attempt to answer questions correctly. it will make you understand how wel your student is learning .Write questions that test skills other than recall.Using a variety of testing methods will be more fun for students and they never feel boring.

• worksheets

Worksheets are more than just a place to write down answers, or you could just use blank paper. Many worksheets help to guide students to answers.In the beginning students may need additional prompts to complete problems, and the right worksheets can provide those prompts. As the student progresses, the worksheets provide fewer and fewer helpful hints, allowing the student to rely on his or her own knowledge when ready to do so.

• simulate an activity 

Simulate an activity that is "real", and so it can be said that "virtually real". Simulate the activity so well that there is little difference between the simulated environment and the real one, and the same kind of learning experience can take place.Student involvement in the activity is so deep that interest in learning more about the activity or its subject matter develops.
