Summer contest with giveaways

I just learned today of a great online graphing site called Webgraphing.com. You can create graphs for free and analyze them too. It's the first site that I remember seeing that offers such broad range of options for analyzing the graphs.

Some functions are only available thru subscription. They offered me a free subscription, but I don't have a use for it right now, so I decided I will give it away with a blog contest!

Not only that, but I will also give away some free math ebooks of mine. So there are lots of prizes:

1) An A+ Membership to Webgraphing.com, good thru August, 2007. This is most useful for high school or beyond.

2) 3 copies of the ebook Multiplication 1 (multiplication concept and times tables)

3) 3 copies of the ebook Fractions 1 (Fraction operations such as addition, subtraction, equivalent fractions, mixed numbers)

4) 3 copies of the ebook Geometry (includes most topics of plane geometry for elementary grades).

YOU CAN ENTER the contest

1) Via email to . Please put "Blog contest" as subject line.

2) (preferred) By linking from your blog or website. Don't forget to email me about it or leave a comment here so I will know! If you link, you will be entered thrice (three times)! Here's an example.

Homeschool Math Blog is giving away an A+ Membership to Webgraphing.com and lots of math ebooks.


You can improve and improvize upon the text but it should contain all three links.


With you email, you can mention if you prefer one of the prizes in particular, because I realize it depends on the ages of your kids or students as to which prize might be the most useful.

The only thing is, I can only give away one of the subscriptions to WebGraphing.com, so if you win and you prefer that and it's already gone, then one of my ebooks will have to do.

The contest ends when 150 people have entered, or Monday July 3rd, whichever is first.

If you have questions, please comment to this post so others will see the answer too.

Meaning of factors in multiplication: four groups of 2, or 4 taken two times?

Someone asked me about the interpretation or meaning of the two numbers in multiplication, such as 4 × 2. Do you view it as four groups of 2 , or as four, taken two times ? Here's their question: "...I noticed that your explanation about how to interpret a math phrase, such as 4 × 2, is different from how I have understood it and taught it to my older daughter who was using RightStart Math at this level. Let me explain:  I see that you are using the first factor to denote number of groups and the second factor tells how many are in each group (4 × 2 would be interpreted 4 groups of 2).  On the other hand, I have taught and thought of it reversed, with the first factor telling how many are in each group and the second factor telling you how many groups (4 × 2 would be 4 taken 2 times).  I know that the difference in explanations does not ultimately change the product, but I am wondering what you thoughts are.  When I conceptually picture what I'm doing I see i...

Geometric art project: seven-circle flower design

Image
I got inspired by the blogpost Art School | Geometric Design with Islamic Art where Deborah shows how to make a neat flower design with seven circles , using a compass, and then coloring it using 2, 3, or 4 colors (or however many of your own). I think it ties in neatly with mathematics, and lets students practice drawing circles with a compass.  My girls loved the art/math project. Here are pictures they made: Here are step-by-step instructions for the flower design: 1.  Draw a line and a circle so that the circle's center point is on the line. Then mark the points where this circle intersects the line. 2. Use those points as center points, and draw two more circles. The radius is the same all the time, so make sure you don't change it on your compass!We used 5 cm as the radius, and that made the whole design fit neatly on a regular letter size paper. 3. Now note the two points marked in the picture. They will be used as center points in the next...
