I'll be manning the booth for DeltaMath @ NCTM in Atlanta in a couple weeks. Stop by and say hi!
Also, first time in Atlanta! Feel free to recommend some good eats!
This was fun!
Is -5, -5, -5 disallowed?
My favorite in this genre was the person who once told me they were just fine until partial differential equations.
That's so lovely and wonderful - what a great lesson! Thank you!
Looking forward to reading all about it!
I'm curious how she would say it! 1 and .5 thirds or 1 and a half-third. (Curious mainly how her knowledge of and evident comfort w/ decimals ties into her knowledge of fractions. Also, if she sees it as half of a third, then might be more amenable to thinking of it as a sixth.)
Not 100% sure but I think it derives from the triangle/expressing the angles as complements.
The model is flawed from the moment the student needs to pose a question. Students who struggle rarely even know what to ask.
