Touching Base

Just a quick note for those of you from class who were under the weather last week. We took up chapter 9 about issues of gender. Rosemary did a lovely job of working us through the chapter. We have only two classes left! Hard to imagine!

If you are interested in reading A Mathematician's Lament, please email me and I will get it to you.

See you on Thursday, and if you have any questions, drop me a line.

Thanks!

Grade 1/2 Class Blog

In class I mentioned a grade one/two class at University School in Calgary, Alberta. This is a public school that I have visited and I love that the children are blogging their daily class activities. This is a great chance for you to see what children are doing daily in a class that in inquiry based. They mention their mathematics work frequently in their postings.

Here is the link to their blog. If you wish to contact one of the teachers to ask about the children's work, please let me know in our next class.

Enjoy!



Hi everyone. Just a reminder that our next class is November 19th.

Dr. Elaine Simmt from the University of Alberta has written the following article, Citizenship Education in the Context of School Mathematics which I believe you will find interesting. Perhaps we can discuss it the next time we are together.

Get healthy. Stay healthy!

Nel Noddings

Hi everyone. This evening in class I wish to bring another scholar's work to your attention. You may have come across Nel Noddings' writings in prior courses. We will look at some of her work in general, but focus in on her work dealing with mathematics education.

See you later today.
