I think it goes back to when you had to look up approximates of square roots in a table (before calculators). Easier to divide a long decimal by 2 then divide 2 by a long decimal. But since we've had calculators for awhile, it's what Drew said.

Censorship Arrives on Campus In her debut column, “Echoes in the Quad,” higher education policy scholar Dominique J. Baker explores how the political oppression of the McCarthy era reverberates in the stifling of academic freedom...

It would appear I am now a columnist at Inside Higher Ed. My first piece focuses on McCarthyism, censorship, and our current moment in higher education. This is an essay I started nearly 6 months ago so I'm glad to finally share it with y'all.

Every time I see one of these types of clips from the 80s, I think, 'where was I?' 'Why didn't I see this?' And 'if I'd only known'

And a lot of it boils down to the fact that I don't watch talk TV.

The myth(s) of a ‘balanced’ approach - Kappan Online Is a balance of types of mathematics instruction possible? Does the debate ignore important questions about the purpose of mathematics?

I really appreciate this commentary from Chuck Munter: "The myth(s) of the 'balanced' approach" to mathematics teaching #iteachmath #mtbos
