India becomes R&D hot spot as high-tech firms cut costs | Technology | Reuters
"Staffed with about 60 full-time researchers, many of them Indians with PhDs from top universities in the United States, the center is at the cutting edge of Microsoft's R&D. It covers seven areas of research including mobility and cryptography."For now, the US is still the center of tech education. How long will people continue to come to the US for education? How can we change the tide of American students not choosing/being prepared for engineering/leadership

Having students start understanding number properties early is a significant aspect of developing algebraic reasoning. I really like that this game allows students to 'play'/explore different number combinations. I can even see using this game with older (3-5th) students to have them explore different characteristics of the problems, i.e. 3 + 4 = 7 the larger number goes at the end, 3 and 4 can be switched and still get 7 to introduce number properties in a concrete experiential way.
