Including Tables

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:MathGloss

Do you know what's my "golden moment" (this is an spanish expression) while teaching math?

When learner exclaim:

Is that it? So easy? I though it was much more difficult!!!

That's why I love teaching math, kids, boys and even adult people, realise math is not the "monster" they presumed.

Go for tables, they are waiting for you!

Pie picture is great, just though there was a duplicity, but you are right. Example is funny. Let me re-size it. :)

Alison,

Regarding drawing tables,

Have you seen ABE Math Tutorials/Logic? There are sections of this tutorial that have truth tables, such as Using truth tables. You can see how to draw a table if you click one of those pages' "edit" tabs, and then you will find the code for how to draw a table. That's another way to draw a table besides using the button. Hope this helps. --AFriedman 16:08, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Anne, Thanks for the tip. I checked them out -- very helpful. I think I've got the basics now.

I see you live in NYC. Very close to me (I'm in NJ), although I don't get up that way much.

Thanks again for the help.

No problem. That's neat, that you come from NJ! I sometimes go to eastern New Jersey, because that's where part of my family lives. NJ is a somewhat different culture from NY, even though so many New Jerseyans commute to the city every day. And by the way, I was homeschooled as well. So it's nice to see that you're a homeschool mom. Wikis are incredible resources for homeschoolers, I think. --AFriedman 03:05, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Those "golden moments" are the whole reason for working with kids! Glad you like the idea of adding the pie picture somewhere else. I look forward to its reappearance. Then I'll email a link to the page to my sons to get their thoughts on our work!
