February 5, 2012: Wikipedia article; all tasks so far

[Maria Droujkova]

Hello,

I summarized themes of modern elementary mathematics that came from your suggestions during Week 2 in this article:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_elementary_mathematics_(mathematics_education) 

I am very happy with how it came out, though of course, as all Wikipedia articles, it will keep evolving. You worked hard to make it happen.

I am now going through more of your Week 2 and 3 writings and adding quotes and ideas from what you wrote. You will recognize "your" parts as you go through the article. The references from this week's task isn't in yet - they keep coming. There will be a task about it this week, as well.

We have 32 fine math videos in our class playlist - thank you for finding them!  http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL84E80E3C18F033D9 

Check out the video from Julia Brodsky (our class participant) math circle, about Halloween Math: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYjvMpbSNPY

Here are course tasks so far. If you are a non-credit follower of the course, I marked tasks for you that you can probably do in five or ten minutes (the "light" option).

For the live meeting tasks, if none of the times worked for you, consider a recording.

I hit the "send" button before including the five-minute part; here it is!

Give one reference to a good blog or video.
