… oh, that was Sunday. Would be too much to ask for more, eh? TOday my “reset” button has disappeared — it’s in the construction protocol that records my steps as I do things (which I had thought was easier to deal with than just code — changing that perspective!) but … can’t find it, […]

(No, ghosts didn’t see the big Scrooge… ) I have music 🙂 WNCW out of North Carolina… my friend snagged me a cable that will connect my tablet to my big ancient stereo and spew things out real speakers 🙂 It’s … almost like Mary Cliff and “Traditions” of old… Riding on the cold streets […]

…. don’t know whether it was bus or bike when it bubbled up that… I’m approaching geogebra as if I don’t know what I’m doing. If it were a Java program, I would ask, “what do I need to do to figure out where this is breaking down?” and … do that… because I’m pretty […]

Yes, I hopped the bus and took the poinsettias home. Picked up _Seeds of Destruction_ and Marilyn Burns’ book about Math Phobia … the latter being the one that drew me. So many ways to make math visual and concrete, esp. with fractions — the “uncover” game (tho’ I think it should start with covering […]

… but not quiet enough to do the Geogebra thing. Saw another bragpost about Mathia and commented that I’m holding out ’til I see evidence it’s not just practice, and I got the anticipated “It makes scores go up!!!” My reply: that practice will do that; that I’m not saying Mathia is a bad thing […]

I love this post about exploring interdisciplinary studies and open education, including thinking the teacher must be lying about the free textbook. Things should be quieter today… I’ll be handing out gifts and I HOPE sneaking back over to geogebra…

… and alas, one of my “owning improvement” folks … got *so much better* … but didn’t break that water surface (C level). Fortunately there are options — students can take the assessment again these days, and more than once. Still, it makes me think about the institution as a hostile environment that we have […]

IT’s Saturday! The morning surf yields this post about Cengage publishers and their embracing of Open Educational Resources. It links to another about Lumen Learning and Follett… and meanwhile somebody asked on Facebook’s Math Intervention Matters group somebody asked about Orton-Gillingham and math.
