- Sixteen is the sum of the first 4 odd numbers.<\/li>\n
- Sixteen is the base for the hexadecimal number system<\/a>, used extensively in computing. Here is the number 16 written using hexadecimal numbers: 1016.<\/sub><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
On with the show. <\/p>\n

(1) Bon Crowder of Math is not a Four Letter Word<\/em> has written an interesting thought piece on the difference between motivating and inspiring students, in:<\/p>\n
Are You Teaching Math Through Motivation or Inspiration?<\/a><\/p>\n
(2) Denise in Let's Play Math!<\/i> says \"Let\u2019s look at two common mental models \u2014 partitive division and measurement division \u2014 to see how the sister could have divided her pie\u2026\" in:<\/p>\n
How to Understand Fraction Division<\/a><\/p>\n
(3) Colleen Young (who has a \"keen interest in how new technologies can deepen the learning experience for students\") has begun a new blog aimed at students. She's right - most math blogs preach to the choir - it's about time there were more blogs addressed to students. <\/p>\n
Hello Students!<\/a><\/p>\n
(4) And finally in this section, here are my suggestions (right here in squareCircleZ<\/em>) on:<\/p>\n
