So, putting people in “groups” by what they need to learn can be “hard on self-esteem.” Therefore… we shouldn’t do it. However, I know in most cycling clubs, there are different level rides. What are some differences? Perhaps the biggest one is that the word “ability” isn’t usually part of the description. Speed and […]

There is this debate on Twitter about the name #MTBOS — “twitter blog o sphere.” Seems some people think it connotes an exclusive “secret handshake” kind of group. And oh, you are not worthy if you only tweet. And one of the “bigwigs” tells us we need to listen to those people and […]

Being reminded of the annoyances of Canvas. Why does it insist on changing an answer to 5.0 when the answer is 5? It’s also … the golden opportunity for me to Learn JavaScript Properly, since to make something disappear it has to be a <div> … now to see if I can find where I […]

The part of me that wanted explanations has won out 🙂 I redid the “forks and fourths.” I wanted the forks a little bigger, too. Now it’s time to put this aside, though… it’s free for the taking, and when (not if, when) I get a good page on my site for this I’ll […]

Just because I’m distractible doesn’t mean I Oh, I know, I know, experts try to cram too much stuff in every lesson. Still, I just got an alert about a video about photosynthesis and it was that elegant summary of its equation. Carbondioxide and Water … sprinkle in some solar energy (actually, just “light”), and […]

A person without the skills to *place* into higher level math is […]

Yes, this is definitely in the “trick” category but it’s to keep from going down a path one has been down so many times before. I got to watch this happen this morning… reverting back to adding across, top and bottom… but it’s in the “so goofy it might stick” category. Part Two: Okay, […]

Not sure what I want to do with this thought this a.m… that our instruction isn’t just awfully behaviourist, but … that teachers will harm kids because authority says to…

I subscribed to MooMooMath and got an update that included this lesson on binomial expansion — raising binomials to assorted powers . Linking to the one with the title including Pascal’s Triangle 🙂 Since ALEKS doesn’t include it, it doesn’t pertain directly to my life but the “what parts of ‘algebra’ should be required?” is […]

The very last lesson in Chapter 1 in Modumath is about prime numbers. It could and should be a delightful review and summary of division. It feels like what it probably is — isolated from division. I found this video that explains the sieve of Eratosthenes and it’s long but includes explaining that […]
