They’re doin’ standard deviations in Math Literacy and I successfully found the sheets where I’d cut and paste a snip from an online page, with its copyright McGraw-Hill photographer because no, I don’t know how to draw a bell curve using Bezier curves 😛 When I went to the student I discovered they had a […]

Whereas at 1:00 I was going to time myself w/ pomodoro and be amazed when I could make a vertical number line for students to print out in 25 minutes, and YES I succeeded in doing that on about the tenth attempt (but yes, I did it in Powerpoint and then pulled it up in […]

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 […]

From my tweetworld: I think this is an excellent idea:  present these potentially overwhelming streams of symbols in a way that helps the learner know what to look at.  (I also think we need to include practice reading stuff without that little crutch.) That said, it’s just a better-looking presentation of … symbols.  It doesn’t […]

I have decided to keep track of the stuff I’m learning in GIMP and perhaps share it with people (and at least have a trail I can go back to when I can’t remember something). Â Could there be collaborating teachers making things like cool images? Or is the learning curve not worth it? First thing […]

(When I was a lifeguard at little apartment pools, we called the “adult swims” what they really were — breaks for the kids to get out of the water. Â We didn’t call them religiously on the hour — and the kiddos usually figured out that they’d get called if they started getting cranky with […]

I know, I know, students are fond of the alligator always chomping the greater number. Still, I wanted to feature Casey/Gravity 🙂  It behaved rather oddly — the greater than text layer switched to a mirror image of itself… then the dogs switched… I’ve observed with things visual or mechanical that my first attempts […]

Possibilities abound.  EngageNY is looking for “fellows” to help develop their curriculum.  Oh, my, it is full of the vilified “not your parents’ algorithms” terms like “Hide Zero Cards,” which a quick search informs me are manipulatives for reinforcing that, say, 13 is really 10 + 3 — you represent 13 with a ten card […]

Formulae are abstract. Â Substitution into a formula can be a meaningless machination. Â No longer, for the student who explained what we’d have to do to find the missing length knowing perimeter and side of a rectangle… double the width and subtract it from the perimeter. Â Well…. I showed him the substitution process and […]
