Mathematical Musings: August 2006
http://mathmusings.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thoughts of a middle school math teacher who is re-discovering technology. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. An Introduction to Clickers. This morning we spent three hours administering the Think Link. Test The rest of the day's schedule was unusual; we skipped two classes and the others met for about 30 minutes each, except for the classes that meet during lunch time. Not a great day for introducing important material.the kids were brain dead after three hours of testing, and so was I! It's not doing anything!

Mathematical Musings: November 2005

Thoughts of a middle school math teacher who is re-discovering technology. Sunday, November 27, 2005. Posted by Jeanne Simpson @ 8:01 PM 0 comments. Links to this post. Friday, November 25, 2005. How do you eat an elephant? I think this blog will be a wonderful place to keep track of the new ideas I am discovering. Maybe I can share with my students and their parents, maybe with other teachers, or maybe this will be a private record of my thoughts. Let's see what happens! Links to this post.

Mathematical Musings: September 2006
http://mathmusings.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts of a middle school math teacher who is re-discovering technology. Thursday, September 14, 2006. What can you do with a School Pad? I am enjoying learning how to use my new Interwrite School Pad. You can run a PowerPoint from anywhere in the classroom. The great thing about this is that you are not tied to the front of the room. I guess this would be an expensive replacement for the little remote control that came with the projector, so it's good that there are other ways to use this! This is als...

Mathematical Musings: Here I go again...
http://mathmusings.blogspot.com/2010/08/here-i-go-again.html
Thoughts of a middle school math teacher who is re-discovering technology. Friday, August 06, 2010. Here I go again. How many times am I going to start then stop blogging before I finally stick with it? I really, really, really want to make blogging part of the way that I communicate with the teachers that I serve. I used to find the time to do this, and I know I can do it again! That I spend there. Of course, blogging is not mindless, so maybe that is why I have avoided it for so long?

Mathematical Musings: Fractions and Slope
http://mathmusings.blogspot.com/2010/09/fractions-and-slope.html
Thoughts of a middle school math teacher who is re-discovering technology. Tuesday, September 21, 2010. I just read a great article in last month's NCTM. Journal, Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School. It describes how algebra teachers can use the properties of slope to clarify student understanding of fraction operations. If you are an NCTM member, you can access the article here. Cheng, Ivan. "Fractions: A New Slant on Slope." Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School. 16 (August 2010): 34-41.

Mathematical Musings: July 2006
http://mathmusings.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Thoughts of a middle school math teacher who is re-discovering technology. Sunday, July 23, 2006. Putting a Show Together. There is nothing you can do to make it easy that also won't make it bad.". Teaching is not easy! Then someone out of the blue reminds me that teaching is not supposed to be easy. Nothing worthwhile ever is easy. I was only there one day a week, and I loved those days. The rest of the time I was out in schools working with students and teachers. But do you know what? I missed having "...

Mathematical Musings: May 2007
http://mathmusings.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Thoughts of a middle school math teacher who is re-discovering technology. Saturday, May 26, 2007. A chapter of my life has ended, and a new one has begun. Yesterday I packed up my classroom for (possibly) the final time, and I am looking forward to beginning a new phase of my career. This fall I will begin working for the Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative. Seventh graders are so very interesting! I am also sad because I haven't done everything I wanted to do as a teacher. I never got ...
