left davidson because the math was becoming arithmetic (she only had good things to say about davidson... this comment was just in regard to what math was becoming)

after math.com went into flames, moved onto video games.. because then people know what they are getting.
mathblaster..
people who make video games are intensely collaborative and learning all the time..
amazing thinkers - understood math at a level... and a lot were told not good in math in school...
most were programming games in hs and were told it wasn't valuable

kids programming games when school values it - extremely valuable

math means so many things
games means so many things

refreshing take on school of one


fractions has messed people up - pushed down so kids could learn algebra..
when to introduce things to kids

because we don't trust kids with math - we force our math on them...

formative assess - frequent - someone to show you what you got wrong

work on the messaging about what math really is...
math is not a bunch of facts..
making it about students and student autonomy  - generation yes
