One of my tweeple is also doing duolingo for Spanish. I mentioned that I’d briefly scanned for “duolingo for math.” Yes, it’s discussed and there are several “things modeled after it.” Sigh, though, the modeling after is … the yays and the clicks and the levels …. the stuff of “how can we structure this […]

Jack Rotman is a developmental math maven and involved in creating clearer paths for students through college math demands. This blog about striving to reach 100% of our students expresses my thinking when I’m looking at the stuff that inspired my “thread” about “successes” in developmental math. To wit:

This was the final session that I attended (2;45-345; I bugged out 3:30 b/c taxi comign at 4:00). It seems to me that the folks who want to “decolonize” things tend to be in the humanities or the more tech-oriented ones (yes, there were fascinating sessions about data analysis and privacy… the “access code” barriers […]

Yesterday I got out of the building *just* after six (when my workday ends Tuesdays), b/c the fire alarm was insisting we depart. Guiding a student to the bus stop (finding it from the closest exit a challenge) I met w/ a math instructor wondering how to best handle students who were overwhelmed by fractions […]

Yesterday’s email included a link from Landmark School’s outreach about math It includes this insight: Memory is strengthened by richness and logic of content. A student looking out the classroom window might mutter “dog” while observing a magnificent German short-haired pointer loping through a freshly poured cement sidewalk. Clearly, something is being missed in the translation. It […]

A site full of virtual manipulates, which seem to be javascript 😉 🙂 http://mathsbot.com/ Free, but not “OER.” The Open Education people seem to be mostly about Changing How Institutions Do THings. Power In Numbers has been about curating and sharing OER for adult ed. This is at such a smaller scale! I keep finding […]

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 BEarded Math Man is posting some videos and … oh, Sal Khan’s got nothin’ on him : ) “Binomial reproduction” is one approach to factoring, with the analogy to “who’s the father?” to figure out “where did this come from?” If I were an adolescent I’d be luvvin’ it. (Now, it […]

I really do oft reflect happily about our Math courses being taught for understanding, and speculate that I’d find another job if they weren’t. Summer courses… ugh. Tech math so they’re allowed to use calculators for everything, including algebra problems like z/2 – 2/3 = -1/3z + 1/6 . No, there’s no context […]
