ABSTRACT: Contrary
to the misrepresentation of the "Moore Method"
<http://bit.ly/LElQzB> by direct instructionist Wayne Bishop at
<http://bit.ly/qvnOIa>, I excerpt ten commentaries demonstrating
that the Moore Method is, in fact, (a) an example of "math
education reform ," and (b) taught by a "guide on the
side." The commentators are:
1. Keith Devlin
1999) in "The Greatest Math Teacher Ever" part 1 at
<http://bit.ly/12GYCSR> and part 2 at
<http://bit.ly/17pBWdu>.
2. Educational
Achievement Foundation's (2006) "A Quick-Start Guide to the Moore
Method" at <http://bit.ly/ZvQZly>
3. Paul Halmos in
"The Problem of Learning to Teach" (Halmos, Moise, &
Piranian, 1975) at <http://bit.ly/12BgyOP>.
4. F. Burton Jones
(1977) in "The Moore method" at
<http://bit.ly/17nyIaB>.

Example of R.L. Moore" at <http://bit.ly/YbjUoy>.
