 * Welcome to Mathmatters**

My name is Damon Hedman, evil math teacher.

Our educational system needs help! Especially mathematics education. I believe the internet can provide the help we need. But old educators, such as myself, are not the people who best know how to harness it.

That's where you come in.

This wiki is a place where you (we) can brainstorm ways to improve our educational system. Any ideas are welcome. You can also modify and improve other people's ideas.

Why don't I join one of the other wikis with the same goal? (I'll post links to them... eventually.)

Because they are all run by old people who might see the potential of the internet but not know how to harness it.

I'm starting out by inviting former students of mine whom I respect. If/when we reach some critical mass of participation, I might invite some teachers to offer their perspective.

If you're interested in participating, you can sign up above. (I think it says "Join this wiki" or something like that.)

Mr. H

P.S. I started two pages as questions: Why should we learn math? What topics should be taught? How should teachers use the internet in their instruction?

Feel free to answer questions by clicking "edit this page."
