  1. @bmontana re: Gates. Guess that flies in the face of the 10,000 hours to truly master something idea.
  2. @jimwysocki Like idea of cross-curricular,but completely integrated curriculum seems like a very radical shift.Tough to wrap my head around.
  3. @jimwysocki I'm beginning to wrestle with the something else, but isn't math about a certain subject matter ie concepts?
  4. @misscalcul8 I've found computer test generators to be a major help. I use Examview which has banks for most of the major textbooks.
  5. If you could design a 3rd year math course for students who struggled in Alg and Geo, where would you start?What direction would it take?
  6. @dcox21 @jimwysocki @misscalcul8 what would you replace it with?

  8. LEGO is the world's No. 1 tire manufacturer. They produce 306 million tiny tires a year. (via @holycrapfacts) (via @lekahe)
  9. @misscalcul8 Including some m/c thru year is not bad; models style of standardized tests.
  10. @misscalcul8 We often give m/c finals- grades are usually due next day or so.
  11. Challenging can be a blast, be creative, give the kids lots of voice and opportunities to correct mistakes. they'll love it (via @mritzius)
  12. @Fouss That's what I tell mine- if x by itself then it touches x axis.
  13. @RobertTalbert truly no sense of order of operations.
  14. @RobertTalbert Splitting a root or squared binomial or canceling one term in a numerator expression are some of most frustrating errors...
  15. @misscalcul8 Not sure how it affects the grieving process, but was it an accident?
  16. @misscalcul8 Lost as in no longer in attendance or lost as in no longer with us?
  17. @k8nowak ok, that's 2 funny, 8 hrs ltr wo cing ur twt, I gave exactly sm advice re: swimming. Must be that great minds think alike thing ;)
  18. @misscalcul8 Hope things pick up for you. As Dory says, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming"
