Yup, I’ve had students for help pretty much from just after 8 to 5:00 this end of the week. It’s the usual diverse bunch of individuals that would make a *great* milieu sitcom/drama (but no thank you, reality tv, let’s just not). Yes, a fair number of professional self-deprecators with classic fixed mindset […]

SO there ya go — the math literacy course uses online resources, including a little “learning styles” inventory. THen there are scores and stuff you do with those scores. Complication: well, the site with the learning inventory updated it so teh scores aren’t done the same way any more. Solution: give the students the instructions […]

“I like what this class is about. I shouldn’t say that out loud…” (It’s our Math Literacy class)… then she says that the Pre-Algebra was like the columns that this class could be built on. Testify 🙂

Spent entirely too much time looking for the flash drive I plucked from its socket and put … put… oh, it was tucked into a zipped part that I hadn’t unzipped on my too-many-pocketed waist-bag. However, I could have been doing other things than seeking it between students those afternoon hours… … but in cleaning […]

Another brief twitterfest on “tricks” and whether we should nix ’em or not.

I’ve got the slider working, but now I need to think in that foreign language — the visual — so that this isn’t just some nicely colored blobs. I think my plan will be to figure out the other necessary “make it an app that works” logistics before diving back and trying to get it […]

(to the tune of Monday, Monday :)) Now is the dangerous part of The LEarning PRocess. I dove in and got ahead before the semester started. Enough of both courses are online, so that was manageable. THat’s meant I haven’t had to do a lot. Welp, now the course has caught up with me, […]

Back to it… see the previous post for the delectable list. … so after this almost delectable list, the commenter proceeds to talk about the really awesome and amazing things technology can do to effect these things… things like… wait for it… ALEKS. I did my darndest to pull in my fangs — these […]

An idea to bridge to those horrible things called “word problems:” there are math situations where students can get the answer easily, but they haven’t thought about the math they did to get there. Odds are, they didn’t think they were doing math (so, it occurs to me, the “we never use math” means “we […]

and here, in the final week of classes, they’re trying to plot graphs on graph paper. They’ve got the points; they’ve got the paper. However, figuring out how to assign numbers to the axes is not obvious to them. These folks can do math problems; they can factor quadratic equations. They have been […]
