I've had straight a's since kindergarden! But then entering middle school my math grades changed real quick like ! She's not a very good teacher almost everone in her class in flunking! I have a 99 in her math class right now but thats only b/c we just finishing fractions and probabilty and i'm good at that!☺ But with her being the teacher i'm not teachable. Thanks to your website and me and my dad staying up until 1:00 in the morning trying to get it down pat ,i might pass the test! My dad is 45 years old he's been out of school for 28 years! Teaching him simple math and refreshning his memory is like teaching an old dog new tricks!!Thanks!:) - Amber ♥☻☺ Hey,

Though I have nothing in common with the math, but your formulas have captured me indeed: (-) X (-) =+ that's wow!!! When we the killing sense of the needlessness becomes multiplied, the positive feeling appear - I am sorry for the possible ambiguity of my Lithuanian-English vocabulary, but I hope you will understand me right: Prior the multiplication I could recognize myself as the (-), but at a moment the action took place, the (+) appears in the result. That's great. The numbers show us the roots of our unhappiness and give the outcome. Humanity needs to recognize her spiritual oneness that transforms all forms of the flesh diseases into the joy of being grateful. Thank you for visiting my site and the lovely feedback.

You link above does not work because of the period at the end of the link, here it is: http://sk19math.blogspot.com I am about to introduce my Grade 8 students to Functions right now (actually a Grade 9 concept) and I am going to point some of the more advanced ones to your site next week. I must be honest with you, my site here drives very little traffic! I have another blog that I spend time developing, it has a more philosophical bent to it. This site is just a dumping ground for more pragmatic thoughts/ideas/links that can be helpful to me in my classroom. That said, I will add your site to my blogroll and I congratulate you on contributing meaningfully to the blogosphere. I am a fan of anyone who has a passion for educational concepts and wants to share what they know in a earnest way. Thanks! Dave. ps. If you come across any good Numeracy Tasks, be sure to send them my way!

I am creating a site that explains math concepts that are usually the most difficult for students. I am adding material to it regularly, with a goal of creating several ‘lessons’ that span numerous math topics, and I am trying to increase my site’s visibility. My site is at http://sk19math.blogspot.com. Of course, I would be more than happy to link back to your site. Thanks for the consideration! Hello,
