I have an idea for your next blog post....Hi there! I have an idea for your next blog post. I'm in high school preparing for college and know I want to be a high school teacher. I just don't exactly know what subject. I have been following you blog though :) Could you explain how you decided to be a math teacher and what you like/dislike about your job?<br /><br />Thanks much for all of your posts! I enjoy reading your blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-56664938745569897182013-02-26T15:53:57.532-06:002013-02-26T15:53:57.532-06:00Hi, Sarah,
I came across your blog via David Wees...Hi, Sarah,<br /><br />I came across your blog via David Wees, and as a fellow mathematics educator (and vegetarian ;) )I thought you might be able to help in spreading the word about an educational TV show for preteens about math that we're putting together. "The Number Hunter" is a cross between Bill Nye The Science Guy and The Crocodile Hunter -- bringing math to children in an innovative, adventurous way. I’d really appreciate your help in getting the word out about the project. <br /><br />http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/564889170/the-number-hunter-promo<br /><br />I studied math education at Jacksonville University and the University of Florida. It became clear to me during my studies why we’re failing at teaching kids math. We're teaching it all wrong! Bill Nye taught kids that science is FUN. He showed them the EXPLOSIONS first and then the kids went to school to learn WHY things exploded. Kids learn about dinosaurs and amoeba and weird ocean life to make them go “wow”. But what about math? You probably remember the dreaded worksheets. Ugh. <br /><br />I’m sure you know math is much more exciting than people think. Fractal Geometry was used to create “Star Wars” backdrops, binary code was invented in Africa, The Great Pyramids and The Mona Lisa, wouldn’t exist without geometry.<br />Our concept is to create an exciting, web-based TV show that’s both fun and educational.<br /><br />If you could consider posting about the project on your blog, I’d very much appreciate it. Also, if you'd be interested in link exchanging (either on The Number Hunter site, which is in development, or on StatisticsHowTo.com which is a well-established site with 300,000 page views a month) please shoot me an email. We're also always looking for input and ideas from other math educators!<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your help,<br /><br />Stephanie<br />andalepublishing@gmail.com<br />http://www.thenumberhunter.com<br />http://www.statisticshowto.com<br />http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/564889170/the-number-hunter-promo<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750774889132999541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-44176397395370902562013-02-23T13:45:02.436-06:002013-02-23T13:45:02.436-06:00My kids love Vi Hart videos!

They are fascinated by how much she knows, how great of an artist she is, and how fast she talks (speeding up the video hasn't entered their minds!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-46888696092981360722013-02-20T12:33:06.844-06:002013-02-20T12:33:06.844-06:00hey sarah, add me on facebook, you're great te...hey sarah, add me on facebook, you're great teacher.denis thiyamhttp://www.facebook.com/denisthiyamrealnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-36713442460179974172013-02-15T16:11:57.463-06:002013-02-15T16:11:57.463-06:00That's awesome!

On a side note - I found a card for my boyfriend that said (outside) "There's only one way to describe a Valentine like you" (inside) Algebraic! Now, neither of us understood the card - the back said it's from Cartoon Network so I guess we're out of the loop - but I told him I love algebra and I love him so it was a perfect fit.<br /><br />I think next year, too, I want to look at some cartoid equations that make graphs of hearts - they love playing on their calculator and it would be an interesting way to let them see what "those" buttons (trig functions) can do.
