One thing I would like to post a caution flag on is "how math is taught" and instead focus on how math is learned. The only universal in education is that every child has their own unique learning style. While I'm not questioning the years of research that can be reviewed about best practices in teaching and learning, we do not want to limit ourselves to only the best practices. We need to also consider the dynamic nature of the technology. I have no doubt that we can develop enough activities to effectively teach 80% of children. However, we must also strive to include activities that reach the remaining 20%. There's nothing about an open source, connected platform that would limit teachers, parents and students from downloading alternative activities. ~Karlie _______________________________________________ FourthGradeMath mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/fourthgrademath
