The National Council for Teaching Mathematics is coming to Nashville next week. I find these trade shows absolutely fascinating. The ideas and materials are great, but most are totally impractical for a normal classroom of 30 kids. My hope is to get some ideas and try and implement some of them.
It also makes me laugh the amount of BS and jargon that gets spouted by many of the presenters. Words like "rigor" and "differentiated instruction" and "project based learning" are some of my favorites. Oftentimes, the most important thing is coming up with a new catch phrase, not the actual content.
