Robots: America's Answer to Dwindling Math Scores | Baby Formula Feed
National math test scores continue to be disappointing. This poor trend persists in spite of new texts, standardized tests with attached implied threats, or laptops in the class. At some point, maybe we should admit that math, as it is taught currently and in the recent past, seems irrelevant to a large percentage of grade school kids.
Why blame a sixth grade student or teacher trapped by meaningless lessons? Teachers are frustrated. Students check out.
The missing element is reality. Instead of insisting that students learn another sixteen formulae, we need to involve them in tangible life projects. And the task must be interesting.
Project-oriented math engages kids. It is fun. They have a reason to learn the math they may have ignored in the standard lecture format of a class room.

I find your website very amusing. I love coming back to it each day to read additional content. Your site has been one of my favorite ones for the last few weeks and I would love to become a full time subscriber. I hope your content keeps going the way it is, and I will participate in many discussions if given the opportunity.
I cannot understand why people like this robotic mechanism this much.I actually don’t like it personally. I think that man is creating itself the weapon against the human society. I may be wrong but this is what i think and for sure i will not buy any automatic mechanism software at least in my home.
It is truly a headache when i don’t find something which i was looking for. Especially with bing search engine I think they are just gone crazy. Atleast i found your blog and got to read what i was searching for. Greetings
Hey nice blog, just looking around some blogs, looks a pretty good platform you are using. I’m currently using WordPress for a few of my websites but thinking to switch one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything specific you would recommend about it?
you can contact me for this.. at admin [at] 2student [dot] com
thank you for your interest
I wish more people would write blogs like this that are really fun to read. With all the fluff floating around on the net, it is rare to read a blog like this instead.
