Somewhere along the line, things just got out of hand.
While the original purpose of the MATH DITTOS 2 site was to house my math sharewares, it's grown to also contain columns and editorials I've written, a Desktop Photos page that has become the most visited page on the site, the Educators' News subsite, and a variety of odds and ends such as pages of old freebies for pre-OS X Macs, Vintage Mac Software, and some other downloadable files. The purpose of the MATH DITTOS 2 series was to provide students a way to learn to compute while learning their basic math facts. I had a lot of students during the last ten years I taught who were certainly bright enough to learn computation, but the standard task analysis of learning all their facts first just didn't work for them. When I started writing fact controlled math worksheets, I was really rather pleasantly surprised at how well the idea worked. The series has become a bit of a cult favorite among special educators around the country. It's not a magic bullet for basic operations, as the process takes a good deal longer than a traditional approach, and some kids don't seem to thrive with it. But for some kids where everything else seems to have failed, MATH DITTOS 2 has worked. You may notice the Resumé link at left, as I retired from teaching in Indiana in 2004 and left my job at Rose-Hulman in February, 2008. I hope you find something worthwhile here on mathdittos2.com.
