Call me an idiot but no, I can’t figure out how to actually do jack with Geogebra. “Make a new worksheet” gets me a lovely front pagey thing where I give it a title… and then… I have to add something. There is utterly insufficient guidance. Okay, does this mean I don’t want to make […]

NExt question: How do we get our folks to “persevere through a challenge”? Dan noted that yes, students who’d spent years in “get the answer, get the procedure” could be really threatened by change, referencing Stockholm Syndrome. It was horrible, but it was the devil they knew… THen he noted… wait for it… that … […]

(Yes. My nickname for a while in college was “Verbose.” I”m grateful for the kinds of friends who find gentle ways of teaching basic social skills :-)) Second question in our webinar with Dan Meyer for the Power In Numbers project: How do we conceptualize math and ground math in real life and things that […]

Time to make the promised blog post response to Tuesday’s webinar with our Power in Numbers user group. I caught the tail end of it, wherein Amber Delliger inquired of Dan Meyer: how can adult ed get more involved in the math ed community? She noted that adult educators can be tentative because many aren’t […]

Last week’s geogebra idea … I’ve revised a little as I try to figure out how to do things. I’m *still* trying to figure out basically how to actually *make* anything interactive but I’m close enough that it’s time to figure out what I want to do. I’m thinking “here’s an integer” and … […]

Great day in Bloomington with Digital Learning Lab kickoff session. This really was about: You folks are working with the students. How can we figure out what you need? Our cohort, focusing on “personalized learning,” has decided that personalized devices giving access to the INternet will be a good way to accommodate unique needs of […]

I”ve noticed that when students have worked with integers and number lines, they get much more fluent with them. -25 is perceived as lower than -5 or 25. It’s a visual and conceptual connection instead of forced translation that is often forgotten because it’s not really understood. I also am ready to agree that […]

Slogging through Geogebra “manual.” It’s pretty awful. This is truly a post-compact-disk task. To learn to open a CD case — takes forever, unless somebody can show you. Somebody could just show me how to do this, but … I don’t have somebody. No, it’s not conceptual. There is minimal gain, sorry that’s the truth, […]

… looks like it has tons of scripting options. However, methinks I’ll make images of number lines for the matching exercise because … I still don’t know how to make a matching exercise… so my goal is to figure out how to get to the “code” of somebody else’s lesson to modify. … after I […]

So the “card sorts’ in Desmos won’t work — they’re too tiny and come in one size. I searched for “quiz” in geogebra and found one where you clicked whether something was opposite, adjacent or hypotenuse and it would tell you rihgt away if that was correct. Now to go do a few things that […]
