Not at this last one. I passed by your poster, but at the time, there
was too much of a crowd around it to get to it, and I didn't make it
back at a quieter moment.

Welcome Mary.
Mary first posted her question on my blog post about ISTE, so I sent her
here, thinking of the work that many of you have been doing. In addition to
Kirby, Andy Harrington has been looking at Python and algebra and I know
there were others.
I hope some of us can help you out.

Hi Mary --
Many subscribers to edu-sig have developed interesting approaches over the
years.
There's a lot of interest in turtle art and/or turtle graphics. There's
this tendency to divide algebra from geometry, whereas some teachers think
it's important to keep lexical and graphical connected.
I teach 6th grade math and Python was suggested as a way to apply pre-algebra
concepts in a programming context. My programming background consists of one
C++ programming class. How do I begin? Are lesson plans and small programs
available, for example, where students could write and "drop in"

Hi,
I found pyro and want to know if there is any active development for
pyro. The developer list stops on May 2007.
Is there anybody using pyro with real robots?
Are there any other projects around to play with robots and python?

The character of "precalc" is very strange. I find it eerie that some
texts spell it "Precalculus" rather than "Pre-Calculus" as though it
were a class of knowledge like Algebra, Calc, or Trig.
We are building our curriculum without giving students a particular
textbook so we do have a healthy am

Over on math-teach we've been hashing over whether "pre calc" is
really prehistoric, as in "soon to be known as something else" i.e. if
this becomes a popular insert point for such gnu languages as Python,
