I'm a regular reader of The Carnival of Education, a weekly collection of "interesting and informative posts from around the EduSphere that have been submitted by various writers," hosted by The Education Wonks. From the beginning of Kitchen Table Math, I've been on the look-out for a post or comment to send to the Carnival. The minute I read Carolyn M on conceptual gaps, I knew that was the one. The folks at Education Wonks agreed. Here is their write-up today (a model of good writing for the web, by the way):
Yay, Carolyn M!

Congratulations, Carolyn M! This is a real honor! :) C -- CarolynJohnston - 20 Jul 2005
Well, to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed about all of this 'todo'. I just wanted to help parents, teachers, educators, anyone, understand that there's not always a pat, one way, easy, find-the-proper-modality approach that works, and VOILA! the student knows math. If these essays help someone recognize gaps and, in turn, help children learn math and feel successful, I'll be glad. Thank you for your kind words. -- CarolynMorgan - 20 Jul 2005

Kitchen Table Math is not a blog, but a blooki. (part blog, part wiki, part book) We find the concept to be fascinating. Check out this two-parter about how students learn math, as well as the conceptual gap that many kids experience when learning about abstract operations. See Part I here, Part II over there, and a description of what is a "blooki" (and an invitation to contribute) right here.
Yay, Carolyn M!
