		<title>Can a 4th Grader Learn Trigonometry and Calculus?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know.  It sounds crazy.  I thought so, too, when I first read Don Cohen&#8217;s brochure about teaching calculus to 7-year-olds.  As it turns out, kids are perfect candidates for learning tough subjects, especially trigonometry and calculus because of they&#8217;re endless curiosity and wiggly-ness.  They like to figure things out for themselves and they LOVE learning [...]]]></description>

		<title>ADD/ADHD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently Juan Casteneda wrote a blog post about students with ADD/ADHD.  Juan and I are both tutors and have had many of the same experiences with our students.  What strikes us is the frequency that the ADD/ADHD label is handed out when a kid isn&#8217;t doing well, particularly in math, geometry, algebra, etc.
In over fifteen [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Don&#8217;t Tell Her THAT!&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two of our high school girls had this conversation recently:
MOLLIE:  I [stink] at factoring.
LEIGH:  Don&#8217;t tell her THAT!  She&#8217;ll just make you work on it MORE.
Sometimes my students make me laugh so hard my stomach hurts.  I think it&#8217;s hilarious that Leigh said this as if I weren&#8217;t in the room let alone that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Teaching Calculus to A &#8220;D&#8221; Math Student</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The circumstances that lead me to teaching the tenacious Michelle are completely unexpected.  If Don Cohen the Mathman had not invited me to join Facebook, I still would not be a member.  But I did join and I find that it&#8217;s a good tool for encouraging my students even after they no longer need me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why would anyone want to teach calculus to a 7-year-old!?!?!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The professor yelled when he asked this question.  I&#8217;m used to people being boggled at the thought of young people learning calculus.  I&#8217;m used to the blank stares, buggy eyes and puzzled looks, but this was a first.
I was at a math technology conference in Fall 2008, attended by professors, teachers, school administrators and tech [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome! It&#8217;s finally here! This is the first post of MathHead Inc, the more casual side of MathHead Tutoring.  We get a kick bragging about our students and sharing all things related to math.  We&#8217;ll try to make it fun and interesting, two words not usually associated with math, algebra, geometry and least of all calculus.  You [...]]]></description>
