@midhamohit@ColinTGraham Exactly! If there is growth in knowledge n aptitude, it is REAL. With real or virtual methods? it doesn't matter! #mathchat

@monsoon0 Absolutely! @ColinTGraham: "I *do* like the implication that there is more Mon Nov 07 21:42:13 +0000 2011 - tweet id 133660551468425216 - #197

@ColinTGraham@MrHonner @delta_dc @j_lanier We're still arguing about that Patrick! Mon Nov 07 21:42:28 +0000 2011 - tweet id 133660614114549760 - #199

@delta_dc@MrHonner @colintgraham @j_lanier I don't think anything's been decided ;-) Mon Nov 07 21:42:45 +0000 2011 - tweet id 133660685719703552 - #200

@j_lanier #mathchat Authentic: we would do these things even if it weren't "math class". When we aren't putting on a skit. When we're just ppl inaroom

@ColinTGraham@midhamohit The student has to engage with the method or medium of the learning experience, whatever is used, for it to be 'real' #mathchat

@delta_dc@cristinaluminea But can't they be passionate about pi w/o it being attached Mon Nov 07 21:43:45 +0000 2011 - tweet id 133660939022118912 - #203


to something in the real-world? #mathchat


@ColinTGraham@j_lanier Ah... but the topic is what 'authentic' means in a maths class... are you saying it must also be real/authentic outside? #mathchat

@MrHonner@cristinaluminea I know, but this pseudo-authenticity ("You like basketball? Then you'll love parabolas!) is pervasive teaching. #mathchat

@delta_dc Is that about the people or the way math is taught? >> MT @cristinaluminea: only if they see maths as a puzzle which few people do #mathchat

@ColinTGraham@MrHonner @cristinaluminea The mathematics may be authentic, it's just not authentic to that particular requirement/context... #mathchat
