Well, after 10 years of teaching and what seems as hundreds of hours lurking on other math blogs, I've decided to start my own. I'm not sure that I have that much to add to the math world, but if nothing else it will give me a place to document some of the things I do. And with all the push towards Common Core, it seems like now is a good time to put in my two cents worth when I can. I may also start a 180 blog soon although at this point it might be a 150 blog, but we will see, as this is all new to me.
Just a little background on me, as stated I completed my 10th year of teaching. Prior to teaching I spent some 20 plus years in both engineering (fun) and sales (not so fun). Although sometimes, I feel like every day of teaching is like another day in sales where I'm continually trying to convince a room of 30 some customers that what we have here is the latest, greatest product.
Currently I'm teaching 3 sections of PreAP Algebra II, 1 section of AP Statistics, 1 section of AP Physics C, and after school is out I coach (well maybe manage is a better term) our school's FIRST Robotics Team, Team 2359, the RoboLobos.
Hence the name of the blog: MSRP (math, statistics, robots, physics), Hopefully most of you caught the play on the term (manufacturer's suggested retail price), and the idea that teaching is priceless.
Anyhow, we will see how this goes.
