It’s Day 59 Again, Linear Inequalities: Let’s Do Better in Week 16/18
Pls click here to go to the current Day 59 lesson set.
Just as we need education to be effective citizens, not to mention just to take care of ourselves effectively, we also need both compassion and empathy for one another in order to form a functional society, and “a more perfect Union.”
Let’s Do Better.
Holistic College Algebra & GED/High School Lesson Plans, all 67 of them, along with examples and lesson plan suggestions for language learning, should always take advantage of as many free and open source or public domain resources as possible.

Repost of Day 58/67: Five Month GED, Graphing via Slope-Intercept Form, and Forensic Science Continuous Learning: Project Do Better
We use rate of change every day, for transporting ourselves and our needful things, for instance, perhaps without even recognizing it, but what else can an equation of a line tell us about how we can Do Better?
Day 58/67: Five Month GED, Graphing via Slope-Intercept Form, and Forensic Science — Context, Critical Thinking, Continuous Learning: Project Do BetterToday’s reading shows one application of slope-intercept form, with several more applications further down the page: “Imagine you are a forensic scientist working […]
A Decent Start By The US Navy To Do Better: The USS Smalls
This is why Project Do Better works, especially in Phase II, toward the telling of all of our stories, even starting now, in Phase I: Education must include all of our voices, and work to right the wrongs done in the past, as the renaming of this ship from that of a victory by slave-holding states working to tear the Union apart, to that of a brilliant and exceptionally brave man working to end an insidious institution.
(from NPR …)
And it’s a decent start, but only a start…
While not all of our problems can be fixed immediately, education is the common denominator for solving them, which is why independent and learner-led education forms the bedrock of Project Do Better’s public educational advocacy:
starting in Phase I, particularly via the free Holistic High School and college algebra lesson plans linked below, and then becoming even more personalized during Phase II. Lifting all of our voices and telling all of our stories, like that of Robert Smalls, is a crucial part of working together to tie in each part of this work, from public health care, to public transportation, to public education, and the library systems.
We really can Do Better

Thoughtful Readers, please consider reading about #ProjectDoBetter. This work is my personal way (as opposed to founding the Project, overall) of contributing to building tools that can help increase empathy and compassion in our world. Story, as part of how we see our world, helps us make sense of and define our actions in this world. And remember how important story is also as part of this project. Let’s Do Better.

Repost of Day 57/67: Five Month GED, Slope-Intercept Form, and Adults Follow the Funding, Continuous Learning: Project Do Better
We live in a world swimming in documents, both online and in print, telling us things that we must decide how to use, as citizens of a republic.

Repost of Day 56/67: Five Month GED, More Math Language Learning, and Libraries for Continuous Learning: Project Do Better
We keep seeing the need to translate problems into mathematical terms, or into the language of mathematics, in order to solve those problems. Libraries and librarians can help us translate mathematical, scientific, and social problems into terms that can facilitate problem-solving, if we fund our libraries properly. How would you solve part […]

Repost of Day 55/67: Five Month GED, Linear Inequalities, and Health Care —Continuous Learning, Project Do Better
So, why do you think that it may be important to understand linear inequalities as they relate to Health Care, especially to health care outcomes for Black, Latino, and White Americans?

Repost of Day 54/67: Five Month GED, Equations of a Line, Bee lines — Project Do Better, Phase I
So, why do you think that equations of a straight line, aka linear equations, may be related to bees, transportation, (especially Public Transportation)

Housing Policy: We Can Do Better
This is why Project Do Better starts by emphasizing free forms of intensive community and self-education, in Phase I:
“In 2020, the federal government spent more than $193 billion on subsidies for homeowners — “most families who enjoy this benefit have six-figure incomes and are white” — but just $53 billion on direct housing assistance for low-income families. That’s not for lack of need. Because of chronic federal underinvestment, only 1 in 4 extremely low-income Americans who qualify for housing aid get it.”

While not all of our problems can be fixed immediately, education is the common denominator for solving them, which is why independent and learner-led education forms the bedrock of Project Do Better’s
