The Mathletics Department: November 2013
http://mathleticsdepartment.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Musings from a secondary math teacher in Utah County. Interwebs-a'ight (My MATH5010 website). The effects of tests on learning and forgetting have been studied at length since Ebbinghaus introduced his model for how we retain (and fail to retain) information. However, we rarely have time for such intensive remediation in the classroom. Can testing itself be a way for us to utilize the benefits of active recall? If so, how should these be framed and structured to best benefit our students?

Musings from a secondary math teacher in Utah County. Interwebs-a'ight (My MATH5010 website). Writing to learn (WTL). Grad school is the best. For my "Content Area Reading and Writing" class, I researched WTL and presented the strategy to the class.
