I’m tipping my mitt a little early, because the intermediate multiplication lessons are not finished yet. But I thought people should have easy access to the basic method for advanced multiplication. This is the tip of the iceberg, but everyone should at least be able to do this method. Anything less than that is either [...]

(If you use a little imagination you can guess the title of this article.) This article concerns M.J. McDermott’s youTube video about the sad state of basic math education in America. You can visit the video here, or you can simply scroll down to the next entry here in the Math Mojo Chronicles, where it is [...] First a tip of the hat to thethinkingmother blog, an interesting homeschool blog, where I found out about the video that is the subject of this post.

There is so much more content, lessons, thoughts, tips, stories, etc. that are waiting to go up on the site and this blog, but I have never found a good system for doing it. Yesterday, after nothing but trouble with the “advanced” features of Blogger, I [...] You are in for a treat. Terry Jones, of Monty Python’s fame, has a made a wonderful “documentary” about the number 1 for the BBC. It is a brilliant history of numbers. I just saw it on PBS, and it is fantastic. A child can follow most of the show, but most of all, the [...] |
