Math Without Tears: Abstract Learning and Fractions
http://mathwithouttears.blogspot.com/2008/08/abstract-learning-and-fractions.html
Monday, August 4, 2008. Abstract Learning and Fractions. Shifting gears; thinking about getting ready for another school year (yes, school starts early in Texas); taking math seminars (yes, using a new math book always requires seminars to learn how to teach this new math) - a lot is starting to happen. This brings me to a book which I've referenced before: Math Coach: A Parent's Guide to Helping Children Succeed in Math. That sounds like practice, practice, practice to me. This is the best part:. And I ...

http://mathwithouttears.blogspot.com/2008/07/purpose-is-not-to-get-right-answer.html
Monday, July 28, 2008. The Purpose is NOT to Get the Right Answer . . . The teacher opened her book and read to me that the purpose of the exercise was not to get the right answer.". I hope that got everyone's attention. Read on to get more information about this quote from a parent. I was only slightly familiar with the American Policy Center. I had heard the name but that was about all. However, I had never heard of "The DeWeese Reports", nor had I heard of Tom DeWeese, the author. Wow! It's a fact....

Math Without Tears: Head First, Calculator Second
http://mathwithouttears.blogspot.com/2008/07/head-first-calculator-second.html
Thursday, July 17, 2008. Head First, Calculator Second. Wow, did I locate an excellent page on "fuzzy math" procedures and thoughts, entitled "Everyday (Fuzzy) Math is Dumbing Down our Children", written by Ian Shapira. You people in Virginia may have already read Ian Shapira's writings. Some of his observations about Everyday Mathematics. The most surprising thing is that the total number of pages in the book devoted to teaching algorithms using whole numbers is 11 pages! The preferred Everyday Math.

Math Without Tears: "I'm Not Good at Math"
http://mathwithouttears.blogspot.com/2008/06/im-not-good-math.html
Saturday, June 28, 2008. I'm Not Good at Math". Gabby, I'll call her, entered fifth grade like a ball of fire. She was very outspoken about what she liked, what she disliked, and what she thought about everything in general. She announced early on, "I'm not good at math.". I'm used to these comments, but I've learned that only a few students are brave enough to speak them aloud. And I'm so thankful for those few kids who are, because they afford me the chance to explain some rules for my math classes:.

Math Without Tears: N.Y. Algebra Test still being reviewed
http://mathwithouttears.blogspot.com/2008/07/ny-algebra-test-still-being-reviewed.html
Monday, July 28, 2008. NY Algebra Test still being reviewed. Evidently the recent results of the Regents new integrated algebra test is causing some worry and it seems people are unsure what to do about the results. The test was administered in June of this year and was apparently so difficult that a student could get a raw score of only 30 and pass. That's 30 out of 87 points! I wonder if Medical Schools do that! The test is mostly taken by ninth graders. Of interest is that Westminster Charter School i...
