Great blog! Thanks for sharing.

re: If you have … an issue related to learning or teaching mathematics – I have a question for you: “How can I help?”

I’ve been asked to develop an advanced mathematics program for high school students at my school. I’m considering an introductory course on MATLAB and/or a course on using MATLAB to control Lego NXT Robotics. This could be a two year program.

I’d also like to offer a basic course for struggling freshman to improve their understanding of mathematics and to encourage them to continue on beyond the required courses for graduation. I’m considering a course on Scratch programming to control Lego WeDo Robotics in addition to their required Algebra and Geometry courses (many of them are required to take a support class during the day to ‘assist them in their understanding’).

Any direction, suggestions, or advice you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Cary,

Thanks for the interest.

I emailed you about help my colleagues and students might be able to offer.

Here’s hoping we can develop a productive relationship.
