Bill Gates – TED – The Gates Notes One of the really great things about the work I’m involved in is that I get to meet so many amazing people who are doing so much to solve big problems and make positive change in the world. It’s a real privilege to learn from these people who truly inspire me. More people should know about them and the great things they’re doing. That’s one of the reasons why I was excited when I was asked not only to speak at the TED conference again this year but also to pick some people to tell their stories too. TED stands for technology, entertainment and design, but the conference, which is held each spring in Long Beach, California, showcases ideas in many disciplines that are shaping our future. A thousand people attend and millions more watch TED videos online around the world. I thought a long time about who I should invite to speak at the session I was asked to curate. Also, I’m giving my third TED talk in three years.

Family Math for Urban Students and Parents Family Math for Urban Students and Parents. ERIC Digest. by Schwartz, Wendy Proficiency in higher mathematics, particularly algebra, is important for a good career. Family math programs, based on family literacy programs, successfully teach basic math skills to both children and their parents. Principles Family math programs are based on several beliefs: *All children, regardless of sex, cultural background, or socioeconomic status, can learn higher mathematics. *Students are more apt to learn when math is "real": when the curriculum is exciting, meaningful, based on personal experiences, and relevant to their lives. *Math tasks are an integral part of daily life, and families can learn math together as they engage in their usual activities. Program participants- teachers, parents, and students- are considered to have a contract with each other, whereby the teacher plans and presents math activities, and the parent and child work on them at home together.
