Invitation for Participation in Research
http://www.llri.org/html/Recruitment/InvitationResearch.htm
The LessonLab Research Institute seeks math teachers of grades five through seven to participate in a federally funded research study.
In exchange for permission to videotape one of your lessons and a few hours of your time online, you'll get a $250 Amazon.com gift certificate and a copy of your lesson.
What you'll do:
- complete a background survey
- respond to a set of video clips of math lessons on fractions
- complete a survey on mathematics teaching
- allow LessonLab to videotape one fraction lesson
- administer a short pre- and post-test on fractions to your students
In exchange for allowing LessonLab to videotape one fraction lesson on either ratios/proportions or variables/expressions/equations, math teachers of grades 5-7 can also earn a $200 Amazon.com gift certificate.
What you'll do:
- allow LessonLab to videotape one fraction lesson on either ratios/proportions or variables/expression/equations
For more detailed information, contact Frank Sotelo. His email address and phone number are listed on the website.

The Glossary of Mathematical Mistakes
http://members.cox.net/mathmistakes/
Paul Cox describes his website as "dedicated to the listing of
mathematical mistakes made over and over by advertisers, the
media, reporters, politicians, activists, and in general many
non-math people."
