@LSquared, killer conference all the way through, though I called in sick for #6 and went home early. #3 was great, but if you're familiar with Serra's work at all, it wouldn't surprise you. In any case, I'll have recaps up sometime during the week. @Brian, I'll have audio / video / slides up also, sometime within the week.

Can we expect to get either video or a transcript of your session? While reading your blog probably gives enough embodiment of what you’d say, I’m still curious to give it a read/listen.

Ooo–looks like a good conference. Was there anything cool in 3 or 6?

That’s right, Stacey. “Less helpful,” like I linked up in that post, is a term of endearment on this blog. Assuming you’re talking about CPM, I like its philosophy also. I’m not familiar with CMP, though.

Dan, I am a new follower to your blog, so I just wanted to ask… When you say “least helpful geometry curriculum I have ever used,” you mean that in a positive way, right?
As in, the book doesn’t give cookie-cutter problems that kill real learning.
I am using CMP2 with my sixth graders, trying to get them to understand the meaning of fractions, decimals, and percents. I think the two curriculums have the same philosophy, and wanted to get your quick opinion.

I’ll be there too, Dan! I’ll be sure to drop a hello.
