@April_1970s As a kid I stumbled on these books mixing a history of Depression &WWII era England with saving animals &was hooked. Don’t know how many times I reread them!
Not sure how they would hit now as an adult in our much more ironic culture. The new series is much less earnest.

Books unlock facets of personality and dimensions of experience that would otherwise remain closed to us. In the words of George R. R. Martin, “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.”

The presidency requires a certain amount of ego to believe that you can make the impossible choices required of the office. Very few people can set that aside and this act is a remarkable one.

@mathillustrated This is a great example of teaching with meaning from the beginning. If you start with early understanding that multiplication is a rectangle (array), then the method is easier to apply in different ways and easier to remember.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The real index of civilization is when people are kinder than they need to be.

“Learning math should be less like memorizing the phone book and more like reading a story and discovering how things are connected as you move forward and explore.”

@ThatEricAlper I used to have a real Phil Collins obsession, but take a look at me now.

"The science of how brains learn might help us refashion school for the 21st century. Students don’t learn well sitting passively in large classes memorizing facts to be regurgitated. Students learn in active, engaged, meaningful and socially interactive classrooms."
