Tips on Finding What Might Seem Lost

Recently NCTM created a new page on their website that you now reach if you type in http://mathforum.org. From that page they've linked to:
  • Problems of the Week
  • some Notice and Wonder resources
  • some Ignite YouTube videos 
  • the Year Game
  • archives of
    • Ask Dr. Math®
    • Discussions
    • Teacher2Teacher
Although, these resources/pages are not linked from their new page, these URLs continue to function:
If you have bookmarked other webpages that use the domain "mathforum.org" you may find that you are redirected to "https://www.nctm.org/mathforum/" rather than the page you're expecting. One way to view those pages is to use the Wayback Machine! Here's the Wikipedia link to read more about how this digital archive works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayback_Machine

Here are links using the Wayback Machine that you may find useful:

Max Ray-Riek: Ignite

Retirement is treating me well. So far I've
  • cut my hair!
  • joined a gym and now go there with my husband and younger son on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays - slowly I'm learning their routines - some things I can't do yet but it's a process!
  • agreed to continue working with PCMI TLP (Park City Mathematics Institute Teacher Leadership Program) for at least two more years so that we can fully transition the archiving I started in 2001. 
  • finished Hidden Figures (for me that book took more undivided attention than I could normally manage - so full of interesting details).
  • been helping Annie promote the CMC-South and (soon) the CMC-North Ignite YouTube videos from late October and early December -- all on the CMC YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/cmcYouTube
This morning I stumbled across Max's Ignite video from October 24, 2014 and I watched/listened to the full 5 minutes and then decided to tweet the link in case other folks found themselves with 5 leisure minutes on a Saturday morning/afternoon. Then I thought, I should gather all of the Ignite links of Max's that I know about and put them all on one page for handy referencing. Max has such interesting, valuable, and useable things to say about learning. 

Enjoy!
