Many elementary students would need to use manipulatives to solve the division problem above, probably by counting out 30 of some object then partitioning them into groups of six. But, how come as an adult, you were able to solve this problem without manipulatives? Is it because you learned math in school without manipulatives?
Let’s celebrate with music today’s super-special π Day that comes around only once a century—if we make sure to use standard American date-writing conventions. While traditionally, π Day is celebrated on 3/14 at 1:59, this year we can celebrate it twice on 3/14/15 at 9:26 AM and 9:26 PM. Head inside for opportunities for students to celebrate on their own.

Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others.
This is not a law of physics nor of nature but an observation about the rate of advancement in computing. “Moore’s law is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years—this roughly translates into the speed of computing doubling every two years.”
Love exploring? Love travelling? Love photography? Love to see new things?
