———————————————–
Friday February 26th, 2010…Task #13 – This continues the work from Thursdays task find me another news article that talks about the problems of math education today. Math in the News

Monday March 1st, 2010….Task #14 – It is the first day of March and as always March brings March Madness the NCAA Basketball tournament. Find me an activity on the web that relates math to March Madness. email the link to Padrick77@gmail.com

Tuesday March 2nd, 2010…Task #15 – Delicious.com is a great site that allows you to bookmark sites all over the internet and share them with others. It also allows you to see what others are linking to so you can find what is best based not on a google search but on what people are actually looking at. Your task today is to sign up for a Delicious account at Delicious.com and then search for Einstien2 (that is me) and add me to your network so you can see the links I am looking at.

JUNIORS ONLY…This is the catch up tasks
