During the 1980s, North Carolina was a major outpost for that era’s college-radio alternative music. And Ground Zero was Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem, which Mitch Easter and other major players attended. Easter and his friends Chris Stamey had been making recordings since childhood, developing studio smarts they applied to music. Working out of a garage studio in his parents’ home, Easter became one of the key producers of the decade, especially for his work with R.E.M.

For several years now, I have been asked to share with junior and senior high school mathematics teachers in North Carolina ways to improve students' reading comprehension of word problems. My work with teachers and students has given me the opportunity to field-test several strategies for improving reading skills. One such strategy uses comprehension guides (Earle 1976; Herber 1978).

I am always looking for lessons with multiple purposes: problems that can be approached from a variety of perspectives, hands-on experiences for the students, and attention-grabbers that lead to good discussion. When I saw the idea of having students use the graphing calculator to teach a parent mathematics, in the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics Newsletter (Doyle 1995), I knew that I had found a winner. The article referred to an idea shared by Kent Reigner of Conestoga Valley High School. I did not use the problem suggested in the newsletter, but I updated and extended Jennifer Mayer's variation of a traditional problem and was extremely pleased with the results.
