I’m going to do a video lightning talk about UDL and OER for adults and math. WOW. I even already did a poster for it, *probably* for something else so less emphases on the OER aspect. So! I said I’d talk about the *thought processes* — inspired by Zaretta Hammonds’ “cognitive redlining” ideas, which is […]

It’s 4:11 and quiet. What is cognitive redlining? Zaretta Hammond describes it in terms of reading and writing and thinking processes. It reminds me of the opening talk at the OER conference when we were asked to consider just how many folks, and who were they, that we were just okay about them failing. (Sigh, […]

I got “connected” w/ LinkedIn so … I asked what the actual pass rates were, a bit about how important it is to recognize how math is a barrier for so so many, and also … what about options for the folks co-reqs don’t work so well for, folks w/ low scores, mentioning that I’d […]

I managed to get Camtasia rolling and make the short version of The Sue Jones Method for Adding Fractions With Different Denominators. Decades ago, I marveled at the Nth student who got all happy and excited at turning a mixed number into an improper fraction, when *nothing else* about fractions made sense to them. THEY […]

One of my tweeple is also doing duolingo for Spanish. I mentioned that I’d briefly scanned for “duolingo for math.” Yes, it’s discussed and there are several “things modeled after it.” Sigh, though, the modeling after is … the yays and the clicks and the levels …. the stuff of “how can we structure this […]

On twitter that’s the phrase used and I rejoice because it’s not “ability” grouping as if it were a trait not a dynamic state. The discussion then turned into “but how do we teach groups that have some folks at [some level I don’t understand but it had the number 9 in it] and […]

Welp, I had said I’d allow 2 hours for figuring out how to open up the next fact when you’re done the first. It took longer, but I did it… and then realized that for purposes of seeing what it’s about, locking a user into that path would be pretty awful. I think the […]

Mirabile dictu, I have student workers and managed to get my “first half fours” video made and up. It’s about how to figure out 4 x a number, you double it twice. I decided I’d stick to pictures on this one and on the “bigger ones and how to double anything,” show how x 2 […]

In order to keep from double dipping (working both jobs at once), when there are people here so I can’t just “take personal leave” to work on the side hustle, I play around with visuals that are inspired by it. To wit: making an image to use to do long division so that it’s easier […]

Fraction Module Notes Finding the stupid files that I used to make the images ?!?!? The ruler is mangled on the first inch but dudes, I can just use another one and fade things out. Yea, you get a full pomo and a half to do this b/c you’re going to do six pomos by […]
