I like the second idea about math, it is the key to teaching it well because students always ask 'Why do I need to learn this?' So I agree that learning must be made meaningful.

Fantastic analysis of sales- well formatted, and done for me! Thank you for saving me so much time!
Note to sellers! Well worth your dollars to have a look at your sales data in another way. This will allow me to decipher which products are bringing in repeat customers, and which may need a "makeover"! Again, thank you.

Hi Derrick, :)
Thanks for letting me know. If you have a second, could you tell me how you make and upload your thumbnails? I'm having a bit of trouble getting started on TpT. A few glitches I'm trying to work out! Anyway, have a great day!

Hi Derrick. I read your post on a blog today about keywords searched on TpT. Do you think searches have changed over the past year and a half? I was curious if you've done anymore research into it since then. Thanks so much for all the great info!

Hi Paula,
My hunch is that the trends I identified in July 2011 are still evident - just perhaps even more so!
The data I analyzed back then, though, was released by Paul Edelman to all users. I do not remember seeing any updated releases since then.
I do want to update the analysis each year.
Thanks for your question!

Scipi (TpT Seller) re: "Big Ideas About Math Education" Handout / Poster
Derrick, I saw your posting on TPT. My only suggestion would be to add a graphic or two to the handout. It adds color!
I trust you will take time to rate one of my freebies as well.

MY TEACHING STYLE
- Language mastery is the key to content mastery. - Language (how we use words and sounds to communicate) and discourse (verbal expression in speech and writing) are more important than vocabulary (knowledge of words).
