 Math Education: An inconvient Truth
Math Education: An inconvient Truth [video]
What text book companies are trying to teach kids is crazy! Having an atlas is not something that I would expect in a MATH book. Having chapters about calculator use instead of teaching how to do actual multiplication and division. I know that America does not have the best education system in the world but come on! picked by lsojunkie 8 months ago

 Teens need math help after elevator stall
Teens need math help after elevator stall
A group of 26 high school students apparently never considered the weight limit of a Missouri elevator, causing the lift to stall out recently. A blast of heat came out because of all the people were packed in there like sardines. The perspiration was actually running down the glass. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

Verizon is trying to shut down our sale of VerizonMath parody T-Shirts. It seems they think we may be cutting into their T-Shirt sales as a competitor. As if someone might somehow get them confused.

A Quantum Math Description of Parallel Universes
Interview with Andreas Albrecht, Ph.D., Professor of Physics, Department of Physics, University of California-Davis: “And then quantum mechanics falls out of that as a residue in our 3-D world, reflecting those universes.

Confident students do worse in math; bad news for U.S.
Within a given nation, the high-confidence kids did better than their peers. But that changed when students were compared with a different peer group. Even the least confident students in Singapore outscored the most confident Americans. picked by dollyllama 2 years ago
