So they handed this thing to a school teacher? What did they expect? A lesson, of course. Today we’ll use the alphabet to study math. (Apologies in advance for the irregular capitalization).

Alane (Math Notes) Addresses why we teach Arithmetic and about how we All can learn the Abcs. (elementary mathematics education)

RandomHacks Broaches Backtracking. (computing)

Michi will be Considering Cohomology in the Caucasus. (and Complains about Connectivity) (travel/conference)

Involutions attempts to Classify Concepts by search engine page Counts. (statistics)

Dy/Dan continues his Discussion of assessment with part Deux. (secondary mathematics education)

E of E‘s Ponderings Expresses some thoughts about her Experiences at a math and math Ed conference. (math wars/conference)

SharpBrains Forces the reader to use their Frontal lobe with the Fork in the road. (recreational mathematics)

John, the Unapologetic Mathematician, Goes to a Grown-up math competition (ARML) and Gives a solution to a power question.

Hal Huntsman has written about How community colleges teach algebra. (post secondary mathematics education)

Brent of Math Less Traveled Instructs us in a most beautiful Identity (in i) and then uses it to Inform simpler Identities in Trig. (trigonometry)

JD2718 (your host) Jogs kids’ memories by forcing them to Join prior knowledge with $y = \frac{1}{x}$. (secondary mathematics education)

Mark of Good Math/Bad Math Seeks to Seriously Share Some introductory ideas about Set Theory (definitions), Set theory (the need to axioimatize), Set theory (axioms). (set theory – now that’s a useless label. While I’m breaking voice, this guy writes to me. Not private e-mails, just his blog posts, but I am a high school math teacher who’s dabbled here and there, and forgotten as much college level stuff as I’ve ever learned, and MarkCC explains fundamental concepts at exactly the level where I can understand everything, but didn’t necessarily before reading it)

Linda of Teens and Tweens sends her kids to public school, and supplements with math Teaching at home, but her Text choice has recently changed. (enriching elementary mathematics education)

3. Three Standard Deviations to the Left does the math for his school’s suspension rate, and makes his students try their estimates as well. (secondary mathematics education)

Apologies to K, Q, V, Y, 1, 2, and all the other numbers.

The next carnival opens in 13 days at Dave Marain’s Math Notations. Submit via the submissions tool.

Thanks to all for your current submissions.

And a final thanks to Alon Levy, blogger emeritus, for setting all of this up.

Looking at that CSS link, it seems to be very promiscuous in posting itself elsewhere and not very theme-bound for mathematics.

The fundamentals of life are found in numbers and absolute zero :)

You are so cool!I do not suppose I’ve truly read through something like that
before. So nice to find another person with a few unique thoughts on this
issue. Seriously.. many thanks for starting this up. This website is one thing that’s needed on the web, someone
with some originality!
