Stuck on fractions? Pick up the phone.
A local call-in show where teachers solved math homework live on air for kids calling from kitchen phones.
The story · 1993
Every weeknight, Ms. Delacroix and Mr. Tran sat at a desk with a chalkboard while the phone lines blinked. Kids called in stumped on fractions, and the teachers walked them through it on live TV. Sometimes a caller just wanted to say hi to their grandma, and the teachers always let them.
During one snowstorm, forty kids called in about the exact same word problem about trains.
