			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I first started thinking about my blog, I thought I’d write about my experiences as a math tutor.  You know, what works, what doesn’t, what books I like—stuff like that.</p>
<p>But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that tutoring math teaches me a lot more than just math.  It pushes me to question my own beliefs about learning, focus, motivation, praise, and innate ability.</p>
<p>So I wanted to write about the process of learning, in all its crazy complexity, its frustration and delight.</p>
<p>“Triangle Suitcase” is about unpacking the process of learning.  I picked the name because, to me, it evokes a sense of adventure and discovery… and math, of course!</p>
<p>So…welcome to my blog!  I&#8217;ll be writing about the process of learning.  I’m particularly interested in new research about motivation and focus.</p>
<p>I want to thank all the people who have helped make this blog possible.  Thank you, <a href="http://becomingdoctorjones.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/becomingdoctorjones.com/?referer=');">Liz Jones-Dilworth</a> and <a href="http://joshdilworth.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/joshdilworth.com/?referer=');">Josh Jones-Dilworth</a> for all your help getting me started! And thanks to <a href="http://bryanconnor.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/bryanconnor.com/?referer=');">Bryan Connor</a> for designing and building such a beautiful site for my blog!</p>
