Math museum

Two articles that are probably of interest to my blog readers:

1) There will be a math museum open in Manhattan, New York, in 2012. New York Times has an interesting article about it!  The museum is titled MoMath and its website is at momath.org . (Currently there are zero math museums in the United States). I hope it well!

2) 15 interesting facts about the history of homeschooling was an interesting read as well... such as when it was illegal, there's a college designed for homeschooled students (opened in 2000), how 1983 tax laws increased homeschooling etc.

My partners & I have developed a fun, simple, & effective way to teach kids their Multiplication table. It is called Multi-Facts, and it is derived from the popular Sudoku puzzles. We have recently launched an iPad & iPhone app to compliment our website & of course our very popular Multi-Facts book. Multi-Facts was created by an award winning math teacher in California. Multi-Facts puzzles stimulate both sides of the brain by challenging each student to think vertically & horizontally. We understand that knowing your multiplication factors is the foundation of every math concentration from fractions to Calculus and that is why people are so excited about Multi-Facts. We feel that teachers & parents who follow your blog would benefit from hearing about Multi-Facts and we hope that you choose to blog about it.
