Extra Credit? No More! | A Mathematician's Musings

A Mathematician's Musings. Thoughts about math, education, and the world through the lens of a teacher. January 9, 2017. January 9, 2017. I used to give out extra credit. Not just at the beginning of my career, but right up through last year. I just thought it’s something that teachers do, even though I knew better, and even though it never really accomplished what I wanted it to accomplish. So finally, this year, I told my students that I was done. Those awesome challenge problems? So what is the result...

Teaching is a revolutionary act. The Death of Math Class. May 19, 2015. December 6, 2015. One of my principals asked me once what I thought we should do about the math department and how we could improve math education at the school. My response was pretty quick and seemed to make him leery of taking me seriously, but I wasn’t joking. My two cents? There are many reasons for wondering whether or not math departments and math classes are doomed. Khan Academy. Case 1: The traditional math class. Pushing th...

https://thayermath.wordpress.com/2015/06/11/bare-bones-lessons-take-them-outside
Teaching is a revolutionary act. Bare Bones Lessons: Take them Outside! June 11, 2015. December 6, 2015. I like to take “real-world” math questions and unpack them for content, then look at other solutions, and then finally think of bigger and better questions that could be asked instead. For example, here is the classic tree problem:. What do I like to do instead? Teach them about clinometers and have them make one. 3) How many leaves do you think are on that tree? But this all leads to the question of ...

I passed by the spot talked about in that excellent independent education documentary. Posted in Radical Teaching. Fill in your deta...

Teaching is a revolutionary act. The book is finished! You can buy it here. I would rather you do that or at a local independent book store (right now it is available at Bookworks. In Albuquerque and at Bookshop Santa Cruz. Because I don’t really get much in the way of royalties from Amazon or Barnes and Noble. But the important thing for me is that people read it.

A Mathematician's Life
Sunday, June 8, 2014. Third day in Paris: bigger stuff. For my third day in Paris, I planned to stop by some of the larger structures, e.g. the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel tower, and the Notre Dame. Along the way, I ran into the Musée des Archives Nationales - a fine old building and a nice place to just sit and enjoy the beautiful weather (a welcome contrast to my first two days in Paris, which were overcast, and saw a few sprinkles). In my last post I mentioned heavily-armed military patrols within Par...
