Jane in NC Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 The New York Times now has a Monday math column which I mentioned on the general board. Given that the author, Steven Strogatz, has moved to algebra and will be discussing high school math in the weeks ahead, I thought it might be a good idea to mention the column over here as well. You and your students might enjoy reading this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeaTotaler Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Thanks Jane. Will stay tuned. BTW, I want to thank both you and LoriM for mentioning the book "The Giant Golden Book of Mathematics" by Irving Adler is threads oh so long ago. I borrowed it through ILL and enjoyed it so much that I bought a used copy for ds. The New York Times now has a Monday math column which I mentioned on the general board.

TeaTotaler Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Funny you should mention it. I had a couple of chapters left but could not renew it at the library yesterday. I am hoping to get it again to finish it and then ds can read it too. We kept fighting over it :-) He is 12 yrs old. Cool!

swimmermom3 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Jane, I:001_wub: you and your math threads. I just wish I didn't find them on days that are booked solid with some of life's more tedious tasks. Then again, there was a time before homeschooling that I thought math was rather tedious. Do you suppose there is a lesson there?:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usetoschool Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Thanks Jane. Will stay tuned. BTW, I want to thank both you and LoriM for mentioning the book "The Giant Golden Book of Mathematics" by Irving Adler is threads oh so long ago. I borrowed it through ILL and enjoyed it so much that I bought a used copy for ds. I saw a very old thread that mentioned this book and went ahead and ordered it used from Amazon. It is a great book and we have learned so much already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
