Any requests?
Yes. :) 1. Pick *one* 4th grade math concept to make *awesome* from the curriculum framework, and claim it on the wiki: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Math4Team/Resources/Curriculum_Chart 2. Claim a team around your project, so that we can drive teachers to it to help: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Math4Team/Contacts --g -- Got an XO that you're not using? Loan it to a needy developer!
