Hungarian folk dance used to demonstrate computational sorting algorithms, from Sapientia Univeristy in Romania

This is highly awesome! Computer science concepts are fun to play with, and dance is a great way to share this one. Reminds me of a TRIZ method.

Shad is exploring ways of breaking this connection down into a sequence of transitional steps by distilling them visually. Shad has categorized the Grid into eleven types according to their uses for storing, sorting, and displaying numerical information (see below). What pedagogical types of the Grid come to your mind?

Well-sorted tools with brief descriptions. Great for introducing newbies to the subject, but experienced people will like the summary, as well.

Who created mathematics? Where did it begin? To answer these questions, we need to think about what mathematics is. In their work on ethnomathematics, Borba (1990) and D'Ambrosio (1990) define the compnonents of ethnomathematics as the follows: ethnos - within a cultural environment mathema - explaining and understanding in order to transcend, managing and coping with reality in order to survive and thrive. tics - techniques such as counting, ordering, sorting, measuring, weighing, ciphering, classifying, ordering, inferring and modeling.
