Hi Don, FYI, I came across a few articles on J written by Mr. Kirby Urner.
Mr. Urner has been a math teacher as well as a curriculum writer and teacher trainer. He has written a series of articles and lectures that use J as a way to explore mathematics in a K-12 math curriculum. I thought these articles were excellent, and Mr. Urner jumps right in and uses J (including tacit) to explore basic number and math concepts. If I were to teach J to students, Mr. Urner's approach would be the one I would chose.
