Also, I see statistics and probability called out the Common Core, and also (Sophia) a reference to "traditional" course sequences (Algebra, Geometry, etc) vs "integrated" (Math 1, Math 2, Math 3). So there.
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Is this where I make a joke about needing the D?
I saw the doctor last week ... he said that in order to get the daily recommended amount of Vitamin D you'd have to stand outside naked for about 15 minutes. Dude, it's WINTER ... all the sticking-out bits would freeze off (and I'm not talking about just fingers and toes).

A lot of it comes back to me once I get into it.
I never *had* a lot of it to begin with, though. But that's a good idea. It also confuses me when the teaching terms and methods change -- she was taught to do long division completely differently than I was.

My school seems to teach the kids multiple ways to approach problems, which seems like a pretty good policy, actually. There's more than one way to skin a cat, but if the method isn't one I know or remember it can be hard to help.
I had totally forgotten the words "numerator" and "denominator" when fractions first came up. I was like, "There must be a word for the top part of a fraction - now what IS it!"

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Woot Emmett!
How does Wonder Woman stand? Do you mean feet apart, arms bent slightly behind you so your lats are tightened?

Feet apart, hands in fists on your hips.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
also known as angry child pose. It is a power stance and actually makes you feel more powerful.
