Still Here in Spite of Weather

I realize that it has been a long time since the blog was updated. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to reflect and ponder on the everyday wonders of math and life since I've been inredibly busy reminding people of the simple strategies we should use in solving problems.

Some of these strategies are (in no particular order):

Draw a picture or diagram
Make a table
Find a pattern
Make an organized list
Pick an operation (+,-,x,/)
Use logic
Guess, check, revise
Work backward
Underline
Use your formula sheet.

Using these strategies won't guarantee you'll be the next mathematical superhero (Formula Girl?), but they can definitely help you save time and increase your accuracy.

Stay radical.
