Yes, some folks are getting on the Withdrawal boat… but if it’s from our newly designed math courses, they get to get right back on the same course at midterm, since they’ve pretty much gone to quarters for the algebra courses. I almost kinda wish they would do the same for PRe-Algebra, given the chances […]

So… I’m wondering when I will have so much as 7 minutes to actually work on Mooculations… and reflecting that this *is* the absolute busiest time of the year. Sometime soon, folks will start doing that W thing… or getting more independent (if only because, as today, I inform them that no, I am […]

… let’s just say it’s absolutely, positively one of those sections where it is a tad challenging to say “where am I going to use this?” except for my tried and true “well, sometimes you’re going to have to follow complicated procedures carefully, even if they don’t make much sense.” I actually cornered the teacher […]

We had a professional development session about the possibility of doing something with, oh, developmental math on that platform. Magma is shifting. Small earthquakes may be happening 😉

…. but that’s a good thing! I’m going to try this as my experimental response for the student who is tuned for the “rule mnemonics.” I’m all for nixing tricks per http://nixthetricks.com/ … but many of my students didn’t have teachers who made sure they understood math, so they arrive here very, very practiced […]

Spent entirely too much time looking for the flash drive I plucked from its socket and put … put… oh, it was tucked into a zipped part that I hadn’t unzipped on my too-many-pocketed waist-bag. However, I could have been doing other things than seeking it between students those afternoon hours… … but in cleaning […]

Yea, verily, I succeeded in going through my code for my app and cleaning up a ton of clutter — even successfully merging two “number line views” into one, which gave me an error message about my enums I had no right to be able to find — Grateful to my hyperlexic self for recognizing […]
