If you aren't familiar with Marilyn Burns, let me make a comparison for you.
Marilyn Burns is to mathematics what the Rolling Stones are to music.
In other words, she is a TOTAL MATH ROCK STAR who happens to have been living on our earth longer than most and has the wisdom, gray hair, and wrinkles to prove it.
I came across an article she wrote entitled Nine Ways to Catch Kids Up and, though it does not offer us the magic bullet we all so deeply desire, it gives us a great starting off point.
Take a gander and let me know what you think in comments.
In the mean time, ROCK ON.
