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 […]

On twitter that’s the phrase used and I rejoice because it’s not “ability” grouping as if it were a trait not a dynamic state. The discussion then turned into “but how do we teach groups that have some folks at [some level I don’t understand but it had the number 9 in it] and […]

Welp, I had said I’d allow 2 hours for figuring out how to open up the next fact when you’re done the first. It took longer, but I did it… and then realized that for purposes of seeing what it’s about, locking a user into that path would be pretty awful. I think the […]

I’m going to try to brainstorm for myself…. what are some of the number sense obstacles that are *not* “quick-fixable” but which could, if I put them in a mess of times…. be eroded. I’m inspired by the students who have been coming in this Spring […]

I work w/ lots and lots of people who haven’t learned stuff like times tables. It’s a whole lot like decoding in reading. If you’re not teaching decoding, then … if decoding is a cognitive load, take the load away. Find another delivery system. However! It’s worth learning to decode! It’s worth learning to read. […]

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 […]
