Would you care to make a comment about dyscalculia (math anxiety), especially with our older students who haven't used any algebra for centuries and see nothing but a rapidly approaching precipice over which they will surely fall- straight into the pit of math hell. Email is quick and a great way to help students. However, how do we help our algebra students with this very efficient communication system? I am referring to exchanging problem solving techniques within a mathematical framework. We just don't have the resource to write clear algebraic equations and to do that quickly through email. Try to demo with email and its very limited math symbols the solving of a simple quadratic equation using the step by step procedures embedded within the quadratic formula and you have some idea of the bottleneck to which I refer.
