Katie Van Over What are people's views on algebra taught using the Socratic method? Are some ideas better learned through lecture than discovery or visa-versa? Thoughts?

I am finding that it is helping us have deeper conversations. My belief is that there is not much difference between reading and math so if I were teaching a math related topic, I would probably try the Socratic method. I'm curious what others who do teach math would say.

I think even though it tastes a lot better than the regular stuff, people just cant pay a premium for instant coffee in a coffee shop.

It's really useful when you're going to a place with bad coffee for an extended period of time and you love coffee. I stocked up my dad with tons of via packages cuz he was traveling to Jamaica and it's hard to get a good cup.

Katie Van Over I'm working to start up a lunch delivery service for my family deli and am writing up my very first business plan. Anyone out there ever written one for a food or food delivery service business they'd be willing to share? I'd love to see an example of a financial plan for something like this. Thanks!

I work for an online ordering provider (GoMobo) and I wanted to share a reference story. Maybe your family deli can use this too:

Jeff Stuppler could sense that hungry customers were just a couple of minutes away. And yet, nearby
students and teachers did not have time to leave campus to visit his restaurant. What if he could bring
his restaurant to them instead? If the mountain will not come to Mohammed...

“We serve one school that is a two-minute drive away. We average around 15 - 20 orders a day, but it's
catching on and should go higher soon. We sent out guidelines to the school on ordering. Students,
teachers and administration staff need to get their orders into GoMobo by 11am latest. The system
locks them out at 11am. All of the orders received are delivered in one drop (between 11:45 - Noon). It's
delivered to one central location on campus. All orders are bagged, tied and marked with the customer’s
name and order. All of the bags are placed in large containers labeled alphabetically corresponding to
the customer’s first name, i.e. one box will be labeled A - G and so forth."

Katie Van Over I want to convince somebody to pay me to write a CSET mathematics prep book. There's only one I can find that's printed and widely distributed in the U.S. and it's not very good. I want to write something that's accessible and thorough to help better prepare California's future math teachers.

David Fogel I'm curious, when you guys go to Starbucks, do you order your coffee in sizes by their proper names (tall, grande, vendi) or do you just say "small" "medium" or "large". I ask because I tend to take the lazy way out and call sizes by their american names (A cardinal sin at Starbucks). The clerks always give me dirty looks. It's like I'm an outsider because I'm not down with the lingo. I don't like saying the proper names because it just doesnt make any logical sense. How can tall be small?
