Fractions are Hard!

Exploring fractions with new understanding.

Permutations and Combinations

“Does order matter?” This single question causes endless headache and woe for student and teacher alike when forced to think in the paradigm of permutations and combinations. My advice: Don’t think that way! Here’s how to naturally and easily understand and do combinations and permutations without ever doing them!

Quadratics

What is the natural story of quadratics? Answer: Symmetry! See how the symmetry of squares makes the algebra of quadratics natural and straightforward. See how to use symmetry to your extreme advantage in graphing quadratics. This course starts with Galileo's motivation for studying quadratics, and wends its way through all the standard content, eschewing all rote doing and memorization. Symmetry makes this material ridiculously easy!
