Is there a linkedin group?
We do have a https://www.facebook.com/groups/64483305086/.
Our editorial board had decided to form a facebook group, as it was the most commonly used social networking site. Few of our members are on LinkedIn, although we are open to the possibility of forming a linkedin group in the future.
Mark,
There is currently no linkedin group. If we create one, we will post the information on this site.
Thank you,
Kristine Roinestad (Associate Editor)
Here is an interesting article titled “Why Do Americans Stink at Math?”
BY ELIZABETH GREEN
The Common Core should finally improve math education. The problem is that no one has taught the teachers how to teach it.

I would like to join YMN because I can see it is interesting to me
