I know for students like me who aren't strong in math, this would be a welcomed supplement to the class.JSchaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999394247990736710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16660456.post-5565931155397800402008-03-04T18:29:00.000-07:002008-03-04T18:29:00.000-07:00I think that is just a great idea.

In my classes, we have been discussing the need to get away from lecturing and trying to find new creative ways to help students learn. I think that the musical is such a great concept because it presents the material in a different way. Calculus is a feared subject by many, but maybe if the material was taught in a better way it would not be so tough for students any longer. I would really like to see this type of learning catch on in the school systems. Hopefully this idea will help spark other creative ideas to promote teaching methods other than the “standard” way. Thanks for helping to spread this type of learning on your blog.capriotti rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605388206810046407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16660456.post-49793347750266737462008-03-02T14:44:00.000-07:002008-03-02T14:44:00.000-07:00I love math but I am no good at remembering random...I love math but I am no good at remembering random numbers and formulas. The only way I remembered them in school was because we used them sooo many times. These days teachers focus on quality not so much quantity. The days of 50 to 100 problem homework sets are over.<BR/>using any method to help you remember a mathematical formula is great; to make it fun for our students is sometimes the challenge.kristen reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11275204431923782894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16660456.post-61473478995518458142008-03-02T07:33:00.000-07:002008-03-02T07:33:00.000-07:00Wow!

I teach math and the students always look for new ways to remember things and to make math more exciting. I'm going to look into their tour dates and the cities and states they are coming to. Thanks :-)Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064531536718435943noreply@blogger.com
