I’m perusing “how to do poster presentations” and oh, the audience is *so* clearly 20-something grad students trying to impress but this one from Hopkins looks good (LOL viewers will have different cognitive styles!). The big picture? Let’s try this: SOME STUDENTS NEED DEVELOPMENTAL MATH. SKILLS AND SCORES Students are arriving at college without the […]

… I *think* that was the name of the session at the awesome Make Math Moments Virtual Summit which had, they say, over 10,000 participants. There were hundreds in each session I dropped in on. I’ve been following these folks since they were just sharing some cool stuff, though at first it was all apple-product-dependent… so, […]

I didn’t get to do the webinar live, but I watched the recording of the TodosMath vimeo “My students scored 0/8! What do I do next?” They give link to the materials at the end: https://bit.ly/June8TODOS . I had a brief bit of nervousness when I feared it would be another explanation of theory and […]

On the bus today b/c storms be a-comin’. I had an interesting lesson w/ the Tuesday Teens. Four were there, two were participating, so … yes, I got to be in my comfort zone addressing individuals. Class dynamics — I’m woefully out of practice. We’d introduced “halfiness” from the “Transitions” fractions section. My friend who […]

I’ve already had a student 🙂 This one is repeating a class and … has learned *so much.* As in, a living, breathing reason why our full service support is needed and beneficial. You really wouldn’t recognize this one as the same person. first time through, learning the whole array of navigation — here’s a […]

And 3-day weekend! Yes, I took the bus this a.m. — but hadn’t successfully gotten my itty bitty computer to work so I couldn’t read the Long Thing About How Your Little Certificate Programs Keep Poor People Poor. I *could* read this little description of a way to teach multiplication called Please Go and Bring […]

Palliative is one of the vocab. words for teh folks reading _Brain on Fire._ This is the flip side of “yes, I can work with higher level content to teach — yes, I’m going to call them lower level skills. There is benefit to teaching the basic mathematical thinking, especially if we can get to […]

In summer 2018 I had a slow week and I dug out stuff on developmental math and the “reform” movement. Seemed this winter break was a good time to sweep back to it… one tangent article and webinar were about reforming *high school* with a pithy metaphor: we should be making mathematics “a pump, not […]

That’s happening today. I took the bus because the ride home was still lousy on Main Street… … and I wish there were an Inkscape forum. I found good tutorials but this is, like CSS et al, at that level where you have to know somebody; “click and see what happens” has too many […]

Yes, I’ve got the “plenty of time to do stuff so nothing gets done!” thing happening so! I’m going to try to have Something To SHare Today. Well, here’s something 🙂 I found this little “generate the HTML for tables” page so I don’t have to manually stick a mess of divs in if I want […]
