I think it goes back to when you had to look up approximates of square roots in a table (before calculators). Easier to divide a long decimal by 2 then divide 2 by a long decimal. But since we've had calculators for awhile, it's what Drew said.

Censorship Arrives on Campus In her debut column, β€œEchoes in the Quad,” higher education policy scholar Dominique J. Baker explores how the political oppression of the McCarthy era reverberates in the stifling of academic freedom...

It would appear I am now a columnist at Inside Higher Ed. My first piece focuses on McCarthyism, censorship, and our current moment in higher education. This is an essay I started nearly 6 months ago so I'm glad to finally share it with y'all.

Every time I see one of these types of clips from the 80s, I think, 'where was I?' 'Why didn't I see this?' And 'if I'd only known'

And a lot of it boils down to the fact that I don't watch talk TV.

The myth(s) of a β€˜balanced’ approach - Kappan Online Is a balance of types of mathematics instruction possible? Does the debate ignore important questions about the purpose of mathematics?

I really appreciate this commentary from Chuck Munter: "The myth(s) of the 'balanced' approach" to mathematics teaching #iteachmath #mtbos
