I believe that mathematics should be taught, not collaboratively explored; algebra and geometry are better than a vague course of Integrated Math; spiraling doesn't work nearly as well as learning it properly the first time; "I don't DO math" should be an incentive rather than an excuse. "I don't DO English" should be treated the same way.

Talk Like a Pirate Day Weekend

Yes, it's time for the annual "Talk Like a Pirate Day" which happened to be Friday the 19th. Since it was Friday, though, it got extended to the whole weekend.

Arrrrrr.

To help all the pirate-deficient folks out there ...

Tip o' the hat to Casting Out Nines.

About Me

Curmudgeon: I'm a high-school math teacher completely frustrated with new math, reform math, fuzzy math, the color of math, talking about math, literacy across the curriculum and all those other things that get in the way of students actually learning math, not to mention the ever-present "You need to help raise our scores by taking one day a week to go over test-taking skills" and other administrative folderol.
