These Are A Few Of My Favorite (Recent) Things

July 12th, 2012 by

  1. Math Mistakes, a project from Michael Pershan, who's also killing it on the blog-front lately.
  2. Geometry Daily, "a new minimal geometric composition every day," each one worth framing and hanging alongside the hunting trophies at dy/dan manor.

Keep it up, everybody.

    Thanks, Jason! :)

    Idea stolen shamelessly from Michael, of course. So brilliant!

    These are both awesome resources! As well as the physics one. Thanks for the great tips

    Kelly, maybe we should start a Teaching Mistakes site next.

    Oh, wait. Somebody already made that.

    I agree, these are great resources and I had a fun time going through these.

    I plan to use the Math Mistakes website with my students – great idea!

    I really like the mistakes website as a way to draw attention to larger conceptual misunderstandings that persist.

    Students go through and if they make a mistake in Algebra:

    1/(x+1)=1/x+1/1

    they often get told they can’t do that.

    but they don’t get an explanation of when f(a+b)=f(a)+f(b)
