A few links from this morning...

I have a stash of dozens of links that I want to share, but I never have time... This morning, as I caught up on my Google Reader backlog, I kept a few windows of coolness open, and I now have a few minutes to share. (Please let me know if any of these links are useful to you.)


Games

• Math Munch shared some games and things. I want to try the Loops of Zen when I have some playtime, and I want to watch the video on 3-color cellular automata. (They got some of the links from Casual Girl Gamer, whose blog I'd like to check out too.)

Resources for Teaching

• I've made some good use of the visualpatterns.org site (set up by the fabulous Fawn Nguyen) with my pre-calc class. Chris Shore's reminder about the estimation180.org site made me realize that might offer my students some good challenges too.

Empowering Ourselves & Our Students

• Math makes a lot of people feel bad. If you have have ever felt oppressed by math or math class, you might be interested in following or joining the Liberation Math class starting now.
• Nepantla, living in tension: I scanned this post, and want to read it more slowly later. I want more detail on this idea.
