Which problem is "just right" for you?

Today on my Twitter-stream there was a great deal of discussion about how we use homework in math class. Being a university math educator, I have more freedom than most K12 teachers when it comes to assigning homework but that doesn't mean that I am any less concerned about this topic. Homework is a important memory for many math learners and we teachers need to consider carefully how we use it. http://deltascape.blogspot.com/2011/05/which-problem-is-just-right-for-you.html
January/February 2007 Rethinking Homework By Alfie Kohn After spending most of the day in school, children are typically given additional assignments to be completed at home. This is a rather curious fact when you stop to think about it, but not as curious as the fact that few people ever stop to think about it.

How Do You Know When You’re Expert Enough?

"Lehr und Kunst" or "Theory and Practice." (Learning and Skilled Arts) is the motto for my alma mater, WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute).

Poverty

Education, the Internet, and the ignorance of policymakers

Yesterday, along with thousands of other web sites , Dangerously Irrelevant shut down for the day to protest two bills, SOPA (House) and PIPA (Senate). I don’t think my little blackout had any major influence, of course, but I wanted to express my solidarity with the larger concerns. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the issues, Congress is debating right now whether the Internet in America and elsewhere should be hostage to the demands of a few private companies.
