I went back to see what stuff I was doing this time last year, because I’d started using todo.ly .

Classes are over — finals are next week. Yes, I had folks in the lab ’til just before 5:00 on Friday. Decided to start with a “part whole” lesson using the manipulatives we have on hand per “Mortensen Math.” I don’t have them here with me on a Saturday morning, so I was searching for […]
