@futurebird Even in elementary school, there's hardly any time allowed to play with manipulatives.

How are they supposed to really understand what those pencil-and-paper symbols mean if they didn't get a chance to see and feel how math works?

Warum hab ich sowas nicht in der Schule gelernt? Why didn't I learn this at school?

Ok #Mathstodon, I am just starting to think about the spring semester. Whether you're #TeachingMath or #LearningMath (or both), what are some goals you have for the upcoming semester? Large or small, what are you trying to focus on?

I have two:
1. I want to build a larger list of in-class activities that reinforce the themes in Calc 1 and 2.
2. I want to change the way I administer retakes for assignments. Specifically, I want to dedicate more class time to it.

What about you?
