    @ddmeyer Sweet post. Quick fdbck: The claim, "everybody is doing same calc on diff value" isn't (in my view) tenable.

    @ddmeyer fer instance, calculating simple interest (1) P*.05, then add to P v. (2) P*1.05. These feel very different to Ss.

    @ddmeyer I would say helping students see sameness of the computations is a major role of teacher. Not sure how it fits in yr flow.

    @Trianglemancsd You're right. I overstepped myself there.

    @Trianglemancsd The teacher isn't doing any EXTRA work than she would have anyway even though we all have our own problem. Better?

    @ddmeyer Yes. What you're doing is electronically setting up what CMP and CME try to set up on paper. Love the vision, love what you add. +

    @ddmeyer +But that part we're discussing? That's not a universally accepted vision of teaching math.
