With the business of moving into a new home over the last month, it was finally good to get out a grab some pictures of the new neighborhood on an unseasonably warm fall evening.
Here are some shots of various buildings around the UIC campus. I found rickety fire-escape staircase and setup camp to grab this one.

It's powerful to still know how to use cross multiplication (here calculating dimensions for a video conversion). Thanks to my math teachers at Bedford Elementary School, Sudbrook Middle School, and Milford Mill High for showing me the power of math... even wacky Blooma Friedman, my 10th grade chemistry teacher, who insisted we learn how to use a slide rule (sorry Blooma, I did forget that).
Found this old envelope in a box in the closet. What is the arithmetic she was doing? The right side looks like it was interrupted in the middle of subtraction.
a drawing for my friend Bruce who had moved to New Zealand.

this is just a dollar store mini planter filled with dry beans (the "soil"). the colored popsicle sticks ("flowers") have math problems on top, and the answer at the bottom. a nice before bed activity: i ask him to pick all the "flowers" of a certain color for me. T says the problem and answers it before pulling it up to check. i make a big show of gratitude for the beautiful flowers as he hands them to me, and he seems real proud of himself. kinda cute.
