William Shakespeare was one of the greatest and famous writers in human history. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon a small town in the middle of England. His father wanted his son to be a well-educated person and William was sent to the local grammar school. Studying at school the boy actually did not have any free time. But he spent his rare spare hours walking in the forest or watching the river Avon. Soon he went to London and there he became an actor. At that time he began to write plays too. Shakespeare was at the same time an actor and a playwright. His plays were staged in many theatres, translated into many foreign languages.
That made Shakespeare a very popular man. He produced thirty seven plays at all. William Shakespeare wrote also a lot of poetry including his unbeatable sonnets.

This school year, nearly half of all American elementary students are expected to learn math the way children do at Fernangeles Elementary: not in neat rows of desks, repeating times tables and memorizing theorems, but through trial-and-error problem solving, often in groups with little direct instruction and almost always with a calculator nearby. Advocates call it “interactive” or “inventive” math and insist that it sets American schoolchildren on the way to becoming “mathematically powerful”.

It all started in 1989, when the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, in response to the consistently poor math scores of U.S. children, issued new standards overhauling math education.
