Students come to the classroom with conceptions of numbers grounded in
their whole-number learning that lead them astray in the world of rational

77. Design

78. Dr. Jay Lehr
Let there be stoning!

79. On the importance of presenting well
"Failure to spend the [class] time wisely and well,
failure to educate, entertain, elucidate, enlighten, and
most important of all, failure to maintain attention
and interest should be punishable by stoning. There
is no excuse for tedium."

80. On dull conference speakers teachers
"They are not sophisticated, erudite scientists speaking
above our intellectual capability; they are arrogant,
thoughtless individuals who insult our very presence
by the lack of concern for our desire to benefit from a
meeting class which we choose to attend."

81. On reading a conference paper class notes
"There is never an excuse to read a paper notes ...
Better to lower the level of verbal excellence and
raise the level of extemporaneous energy."

82. On using slides (35mm and OHPs in those days):
"They must be brightly lit and convey a simple
thought. If you need a pointer to indicate an
important concept or location on a slide, it is
probably too crowded or difficult to comprehend."
