Math cartoons update

Published on 1 September 2008 in Arithmetic and mathematics and Musings. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

After the recent posting of another Weapon of Math Destruction cartoon, I wondered how many I’d linked to from Teach Effectively, so I checked. There’ve been only seven posts. Here’s a set of links to those posts (in reverse chronological order; fifo):

  1. Math cartoons
  2. ‘Nother weapon
  3. WMD on calculators
  4. Bad math brain
  5. WMD on constructivist math
  6. WMD on FT
  7. Math murdered

Of course, one can go directly to the source, Weapons of Math Destruction (by Oak Norton and Bob Bonham), and see all of them.

The folks over at Weapons of Math Destruction released another in the long line of pretty-insightful-and-pretty-funny cartoons about education. Although I do not routinely use the term “educrats,” I see it often and understand its reference to educators who knowingly or unwittingly sustain ineffective educational practices. This cartoon captures an aspect of that idea, and it made me grin.
