	==Nix ~~The~~ Tricks==		==Nix the Tricks==

	~~===History===~~		Cardone's book "Nix the Tricks" (http://nixthetricks.com/) was written to help teachers identify and avoid "shortcuts" like cross multiplication, FOIL, and other topics that are commonly taught in ways that fail to deepen students' understanding of the underlying mathematics. Some topics in the book are rooted in vocabulary use like "cancel," while others target formulas that students sometimes memorize but never understand. Cardone first published the book in late 2013 and continues to encourage collaborative contributions which are then added to new revisions.

	In 2013, Cardone sparked a conversation on ~~twitter~~ about tricks that teachers hate seeing their students use. She proposed creating a shared document for teachers to add the tricks that they found unproductive for learning. The document attracted many collaborators, and soon grew to 17 pages. Since then Cardone has expanded and reorganized this document into a full length book form.		The book is licensed under the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license] and can be downloaded freely from http://nixthetricks.com/. A paperback version of the book is [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1507504373/ available from Amazon].
