PoW taking place: math problem-solving moment of the week
-
"I think that the strategy I used worked very well. If I had
used a table, it would've taken a considerable amount of time
longer. If I drew a diagram, then I would have to use the
guess and check strategy. This also takes a lot longer than the
strategy I used. By using the strategy I used, I saved a lot of
time. Overall, I thought this was a mid-range problem and that
I solved it the best way possible."

Now taking place: math education conversation of the hour

"Covering chapter 10 in Bock, Velleman & De Veaux (3rd ed.)
this week, we have been spending some time straightening data.
I'm sure I've read over it again and again, but perhaps I am
missing the big picture with this... Why are we straightening
data? Does it come down to being able to understand the
residual plots better when the scatterplot creating them is
linear? A few follow up questions prompted by one of
my students..."
