This sounds like a very cool project, please do keep us posted on
it. I'd love to hear more about it.

Thanks so much for your comments everybody! I am still mulling over
it, but I like the idea of using something like Squeak as well. I
remember using a DSP software last year that was very children-
oriented, but cannot for the life of me remember the name of the
software or where to get it!
As for Pd, I will be scouring for more resources. I'm thinking that
"fun" is more important than math. After all, this IS summer school.
As for what K-8 summer school is: K-8 is an age range from 5 years
old (K, Kindergarden) to 13 years old (8, 8th grade). Summer school
is an extra time for kids to catch up on learning when everyone
else is on break in the US.
Also, thanks Andy for providing such a wonderful resource! It's
grown quite a bit since I first laid eyes on it.

Hello Listers~
I'm teaching a 1 month Summer school session for K-8 grade students
and
would like to include Pd for a mathematics learning tool. I am
wondering if
anyone else has done something similar, or has any links to DSP/
math related
materials that would be suitable for this age group. Also, if
anyone is
sharing their lesson plans for Pd beginners, I would love to see
something
that I might be able to adapt for my students.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as kids often hate Summer
school and
I want to make this a fun activity for them.
Make sure to tackle number ranges (mapping), like: Moving one
slider up will make another one go down, but only half as far, etc...
