come visit me anytime. I proudly put my name on my blog. Won’t promise it is far reaching, or even reaching, reaching, yet I am doing it, for math blogging sake and to make a small, ever so small contributions to the education bloggers that inspire me.

I might try this as todays opponent, rather than the daily doozy. Then I could describe it like a boxing match or something – “today’s opponent comes from section 5-2, and is known beat students by overwhelming them with like terms”. If done as an exit, and not enough students got it right, come in the next day and declare the problem the winner – rematch time.

Love it. Students tune out the learning goal very quickly. I love the setup. Put up a problem that sets up a problem maybe just out of reach or difficult to do with what they know.
