Come Play On Facebook Too

For those of you that come to the blog and don't see anything new for awhile go to my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/Crewton.Ramone There's always a fun assortment of pics and posts that don't make here to this blog. I try to keep the blog mostly math instruction. Go back and look at the old posts here not just the new ones, use the search engine lately I've been getting email from people asking, "how do I..." Or "where is a post on division...?" or what have you. Search Crewton Ramone division or Crewton Ramone fractions or crewton ramone plus whatever it is. If you don't see what you want and can come up with some specifics I can make a vid for you...just contact me.

Also password is about to change again...if you have paid for a password and don't get an email with the new one let me know...

Them college loans getting to be problematic. Here are several from my main man One Stone:

Make math simple. Make it fun. Make it child's play.

These are just a very few of the things you'll see on the facebook page.  Here is a fun vid using lego to make a model of  The Antikythera Mechanism:

Some fun stuff about global warming:
New study shows half of the global warming in the USA is artificial: "The new rating method employed finds that station siting does indeed have a significant effect on temperature trends."

Then read this:
Bombshell: Koch-Funded Study Finds ‘Global Warming Is Real’, ‘On The High End’ And ‘Essentially All’ Due To Carbon Pollution

Do really think the Koch brothers and a guy who has lied before and been caught red handed lying are doing science or are they doing politics? Anyhow, there are 215 comments as I post this and mnay of them are interesting. My favorite part about those with the strongest "belief in" global warming is they can't do basic math and when I say basic math I mean algebra, calc and statistics and yet they are smug and make comments about deniers and flat earthers when I can assure you most physicists that I know won't even enter into the conversation because "it's like trying to talk about geology with Christians who think the earth was created 6000 years ago. Not worth your time." 

What is the heat index of CO2? What Percent is CO2 in the atmosphere?

Here is another fun article also read the comments: http://www.collective-evolution.com/2011/12/22/the-global-warming-myth-%E2%80%9Chumanity-causes-global-warming%E2%80%9D/


“It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed and appalled and highly and offended by it. Global Warming; it is a scam.” -Founder of The Weather Channel John Coleman.

The whole consensus thing is kind of a joke. BTW I worked briefly as a resource tech for the Solar Observatory on Haleakala. There was a time when Al Gore had me fooled too but then some solar physicists sat me down and made me do the math...there are a couple of them who are at the other end of the spectrum and are predicting a Mini Ice Age...search: "solar physicist predicts mini ice age". I am not allowed to name names or cite them due to a little non disclosure agreement I signed.

Besides global warming there's stuff about education and drugs too: STOP Mandatory Mental Screening and Drugging of our children

Ph.D. in food stamps – the rise of food stamp usage among those with advanced degrees. Record number of households on food stamps.

The point of the endeavor called Crewton Ramone's House Of Math is that the mathematics opens up a whole new world of analysis and critical thinking not available to the innumerate. It makes it easier to spot the BS you get in the news. It allows you to see through some of the lies when you can look at their data and see the flaws. For example with the hockey stick people who can do math pointed out that no matter what data imputs you entered you ALWAYS got a hockey stick...anyway the facebook page get stuff everyday from me and others to. Come join in the fun.

Wild About Math

This is a very cool blog, you can end up spending quite a bit of time here if you enjoy math, or things related to it:

WILDAABOUTMATH

I sent him a short email showing why cross multiplication works and he was kind enough to put up a couple links and my vids on his site. I consider it an honor because he has put a lot of effort into his blog and it is a fun place to go. You should check it out when you get the chance. Careful: you can spend a few hours before you know it...

There are lots of math sites and blogs out there. Some are better than others. I have to start going through them along with the websites I frequent and provide links and information on why I like and use them. This should save you time.

Meantime I am looking for even more sites that are good and will start spending the time to contact sites I like and use so we can share links, which I am told is an important part of building free web traffic and getting good ratings with the search engines.

I also am learning about affiliating with various companies to help offer their products and services to people who come to my site...however I am pretty picky because there is so much raw unadulterated CRAP out there for teaching math or "helping" you teach or learn math that is expensive and useless. I am determined to make it so that if you heard about it on this blog or on my site it is not just a good product or service but a FANTASTIC, most extremely excellent product or service. Then the next trick is getting it at a good price. I have decided NOT to rip on the crappy stuff; we'll focus on the positive.

There are a couple rip offs and scams that I will steer you clear of and a couple teaching methods that do about as much harm as good in my experience. I have to do it in such a way as I don't get sued...lol.

Meantime stuff I like is hard to affiliate with...but I'm working on it. Mortensen Math products and Math U See come to mind...

You will start seeing more stuff for sale on my sites and soon there will be a marketplace tab at Crewton Ramone's House Of Math where you can get all manner of math stuff...just fun stuff like math t-shirts or ties and jewelry...as well as books and software and etc. I have even located some cool PDF's for low cost where you can get 90 sheets of math print outs, everything from simple graph paper to fractions and cut out's for math activities...they have previews so you can see what I'm talking about...

Just takes time to build it all. But with winter break coming up I should have more free time to get it done...key word "should." Check out Crewton Ramone on FaceBook...
