Cool beans!! I am def no mathematics whiz, but I love teaching up through 7th-grade standards and a few 8th-grade standards. Mostly, my focus is integers, ratios and proportions, linear equations, basic geometry, and probability. And, I am a stickler for basic graphing/interpreting graphed data. Although I’m also supposed to teach statistics, I usually run out of time. However, I scaffold to make sure students have assignments involving measures of central tendency, range, and outliers of a data set. (Two pet peeves: the “big number” does not always go inside the long-division house; the understood 1 coefficient is NOT imaginary!!)
ThanQ for the non-Q communication. Still awaiting the next post...
Check out my statistics explanation on identifying the author of Night Before Christmas thru analysis of movements of the tongue in the mouth. It’s a fun study for kids to follow because you can do a lot of exaggerated movements to show phoneme pairs. Mac is an emeritus prof mostly known for his Shakespeare work.
