Tania, this particular blog supports . WordPress, by default, does not.

Formulas need to be embedded in [ tex ] [ / tex ] pairs (sans the spaces).

I am going to incorporate this idea in my art class. They will be assigned days to post and comments to make. I am leaving it up to the students on the art topic. It should be fun to see their ideas. Thanks.

Here is my blog:

As a math teacher, I think using a math blog is a great way to share ideas. I am teaching Algebra 1 and would apprecaite any input of how to intrudce the concept of slope. I would like to have a lesson that involves visual props and have the students hands on. If anybody has a creative lesson on slopes, I would appreciate it very much to hear about it. Looking forward to your input.

I’m so glad I came across this site. I’m a math major at Towson University and I was contemplating starting a blog to keep a record of my math notes. I had no idea that the free wordpress.com membership supported latex.

This is a brillant idea! I plan on using this for my Calculus I class in the spring.

One other project students can participate in (that I might try in the future) is to set up a private wiki in which the students add unique content similar to chapters in their textbook. This can include adding new problems or just summarizing the course material.
