Could you use a quick math activity to help your students practice identifying decimals in standard and word form? How about some comparing and ordering of decimals? I've got an activity that covers all of those for you:-)
When I created this one, we were just beginning our work with decimals (in grade 6), and my students had done a little bit of work with writing decimal numbers in word form. They had also worked on comparing decimals several times during the year, in our Daily Warm Ups book.
Using the Decimal Matching Activity
The first step in the activity is to match each card with a decimal number in standard form to the card with the correct word form. I allowed students to work alone or with one partner, and the matching didn't really take that long. I did have similar numbers (like 9.68, 9.068, 9.0068 etc), so that the students had to read carefully and take some time to compare those similar numbers.
When teaching math, I've always found that making it fun helps students better remember various concepts.
This idea led me to start using brain teasers to combine mathematical concepts with the challenge to think outside the box. It's an exciting way to put the skills they're learning to use without them even realizing it.
Students enjoy it, and I love seeing them master concepts without just doing endless math problems and drills. It's a win-win for everybody.
What Makes Brain Teasers So Effective
I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves that sense of accomplishment that comes with figuring out a brain teaser. Students love that too. I'd love to say doing a dozen math problems gives that same feeling, but that isn't true for many students. Brain teasers are just more fun...besides, "teaser" sounds less intimidating than "problem."
Brain teasers are ideal for boosting brain activity, which is why they're used to help prevent brain decline. They're also more fun, which reduces boredom, and we know that when students aren't bored, they pay more attention and have better focus. Another reason they're so effective is students are able to apply concepts they're learning in a more real-world style way. This leads to improved memory:-)
How To Make It Content Specific
The great thing about brain teasers is they're not set in stone. I see new brain teasers all the time, so that means someone, somewhere has to be creating them. This means if they can do it, so can I (and you). To make them more effective for students, create your own or modify an existing brain teaser to make it more content specific. For instance, a single brain teaser could involve both Geometry and Algebra.
Adding a brain teaser to the end of a lesson that reinforces concepts helps students remember more about the lesson. It's also helpful to combine concepts over time to build on what students are learning over the course of several weeks or months. ProProfs has a simple tool for creating brain teasers. I recommend just checking out various brain teasers to get an idea of how to write your own or alter one for your needs.
How To Incorporate Brain Teasers
Honestly, I don't think there's a right or wrong way to do this. As long as students are having fun and learning, you've incorporated brain teasers correctly. Professional Learning Board offers some great tips about incorporating brain teasers, such as:

Free Number Puzzle!
Turning decimals into a fun, Sudoku-like puzzle is a great way to help students work their way through the different decimal operations.
I love solving Sudoku puzzles using whole numbers, and I encourage students to work on them as well. But when I replace the whole number with decimal problems, I'm able to create a logic puzzle that also gives students a new way to practice skills that can be a challenge to master.
Sudoku puzzles are fun and interesting. They require students to problem solve, in order to ensure that every row, column and group of squares only has one of each number. Some students develop strategies when approaching a puzzle; some learn to use guess and check quite often:-)
When working with decimals in a Sudoku puzzle, students need to consider their target numbers, as well as how to complete the necessary operation. This makes decimal practice a bit more interesting and engaging than working on one problem after another on a worksheet.
As with whole number Sudoku, I start decimal Sudoku with a few squares filled in, so students have a starting point. (If students have never tried Sudoku puzzles before, I recommend starting with a regular Sudoku puzzle, to teach students how they work.)
So far, I've only used a 4 X 4 grid, which makes figuring out the target numbers fairly easy. All of the squares have a decimal problem with a missing addend in them (in this example). Within each 2 x 2 section, there is one completed problem, with the target number of 1, 2, 3, or 4 already filled in. The object is for students to figure out the target number for each square and then find the missing decimal number in each individual square. Every row and column must each contain 1, 2, 3 and 4 as the answers to the decimal problems (these are the target numbers). Every 2 x 2 section must also contain 1, 2, 3 and 4.
For example, on the answer key shown here, you can see the target numbers of 1-4 in each row, column and section, and you can see the completed decimal problems. Everything in black (target numbers and decimal numbers) is given. Everything in green is what the students must find (target numbers and missing decimal addends):
I've only used the addition problems (which actually require them to subtract:-), but I plan to try the other operations as well and create larger puzzles (6 x 6 and maybe 9 x 9).
To make students really think things through, I may mix up the operations! For instance, in a 4 X 4 puzzle, the first column could be two multiplication problems and two addition problems. This should keep students paying close attention.
These could be great to complete on mini dry erase boards - easy to erase any guesses that don't work out!
I'm really liking the math wheel idea, so I created a new wheel for fraction, decimal, percent conversions:-)
How to use this resource (this information is also in the free download):
Around the outside of the wheel are the different conversion headings – you can use the wheel to introduce the conversions, filling in just the ones you are covering each day. Or, you can use it to review all the conversions at once. In either case, the wheel can be kept in students' notebooks as a reference/study tool.
1) I like to begin with decimal to percent and percent to decimal. In the arrows in these sections, you'll see x 100 and ÷ 100. It think it's important that students understand that these are the operations being used for these conversions before giving them a shortcut, so I let them use calculators to complete the examples. Once the examples are complete, I ask the students to look for the pattern – what happens to the decimal point in each of these cases?
We decide on the "shortcut" rules together and then write them at the bottom of those sections.
2) The fraction to percent and fraction to decimal sections have the rules written already, so the examples just need to be completed.
I always relate fraction to percent to students grades. By the time we get to this topic during the year, students have been figuring out their grades for months (I never write their percentages on their assessments – they need to calculate
them). They know how to find their percentage if their quiz grade was 6/8 or their test was 48/52. However, sometimes they need a reminder that this official fraction to percent "rule" is the same thing they've been doing for months! I have them
write a little reminder in that section - "just like test grades!"
3) For percent to fraction, students need to remember that percent means "out of 100," so the percent number will always go over 100. Then they must reduce.
4) I find that decimal to fraction is sometimes tricky for students. When they have trouble, I ask them to read the decimal number according to place value ("How do you say this number, using tenths, hundredths, or thousandths, etc.?"). Once
they speak it, they know how to write the fraction – 0.27 is 27 hundredths, which is 27/100. After completing the examples, we discuss the idea that the denominator will be whatever the last decimal place is (10, 100, 1000, etc.) and the numerator will be the digits in the decimal number. We write this rule as simply as possible.
5) Students then complete the 10 problems around the page. Above each number is the conversion to complete (F to P, P to D, etc.) They can then color the rest of the wheel background.
I had a great time coloring my answer key! These could make a fun decoration as well:-)
I hope you can use it!!

Do your middle school math students like to play math games? Mine do, but over the past few years I've noticed that many of them aren't familiar with some of the games I played when I was a kid, like Yahtzee, for example. So, as we started working on converting fractions and decimals, I decided to create a game to make practicing the conversions more fun AND give them some more game experience! I based it on the idea of Yahtzee:-)
Here's how it works:
Students roll four dice, and pair the dice up to create "target numbers" that are either decimals or whole numbers.
For example, a student rolls 1, 2, 4, and 6. From these dice, the student may create any two of the following decimal (or whole) numbers:
½ = 0.5 4/1 = 4
¼ = 0.25 4/2 = 2
1/6 = 0.1666... 4/6 = 0.666...
2/1 = 2 6/1 = 6
2/4 = 0.5 6/2 = 3
2/6 = 0.333... 6/4 = 1.5
Once a player has chosen two target numbers, he or she finds the score by adding the dice that were used for each decimal (or whole number). If the player chose to use 1 and 4 to get 0.25, he or she adds 1 + 4 for a sum of 5 to place in the score column. If the second choice used 2 and 6, to equal either 0.333...or 3, then sum of 8 would go in the appropriate column as the score.
On the next roll, this student rolls 1, 1, 3, and 5. This student can pair 1 and 1, to get 1, and pair 3 and 5 to get either 0.6 or 1.666... The score for 1 is 2 (1 + 1) and the score for 0.6 (or 1.666) is
8 (3 + 5).
In many cases, students' scores will be the same, but some of the decimals can be found with different combinations of numbers (1 and 3 = 0.333..., and so do
2 and 6, so students could have a score of either 4 or 8). Some students will notice this sum difference and go for the combination that will give them the higher score....bringing in the possibility of using some strategy, for those higher level thinkers.
The students have really enjoyed playing this game. They do need a few examples at the start, to understand exactly how the game works, so if you decide to try the game, be prepared to go through a few turns together.
You can create a score sheet like this on your own, or go to TPT and use what I've created. Detailed instructions are included, and a complete answer key of highest and lowest possible scores for each target number are included as well. This is handy to quickly check student score cards as you check in on their games.
If you give it a try, please let me know how it goes!
Math rules. How often have you found that students are taught "tricks" to remember math rules? How often do they make procedural mistakes even though they've "learned" the rules?
I have taught decimal operations for more than 20 years, and I have seen, time and again, students who know how to add and multiply decimals but then follow the wrong "rule" for the operation they are completing. Line up decimal points when adding or when multiplying? "Jump" the decimal point over when adding and subtracting? Or is that multiplying? They don't remember when to use which method to place the decimal point.
Students' Thinking About Decimal Operations
So, this year, as we approach the decimal unit, I've been feeling like I don't want to talk about the rules for where/how to put the decimal point. I want to focus on logic. Today that feeling was reinforced when I asked my students to solve 35.2 + 7.489 and then explain why their answer made sense. Here are some of the answers and reasons (I didn't teach this yet, but they learned it last year):
"0.11009 makes sense because I tried my best and if I remember correctly, addition problems you don't need to line the decimals together"
"0.7838 makes sense because when I added I knew that it doesn't matter how it's lined up"
"78.42 - I added 9 and 2, then 1, 8 and 5. Next I added 1, 3, and 7. Finally I added 7 and 0 and I put the decimal in the middle."
"7.841 makes sense because with adding you only have to add the decimals on the top. Then you add and finally add the decimal back in."
"426.89 because I put the decimal point four spaces back because there are four numbers behind it"
"79.41 makes sense because you do it just like an addition problem (that's how I remember it anyway)"
"7.841 makes sense because you add like normal and take the decimal from the farthest out and put it with the answer"
A few correct answers, with reasons:
"42.689 - this makes sense to me because this is how I learned it. You do simple addition, but line up the decimal points"
"42.689 makes sense because I used what my fifth grade teacher taught me, line up decimals, add zeros so everything is lined up and then solve."
"42.689 - I don't know how it makes sense, but it's how I learned to do it."
Of the 120 students in my classes, only 8 said the answer made sense because "35 + 7 is 42" or because "I estimated" or "when we're doing addition, we know we end up with a bigger number."
Now, that doesn't mean that they didn't think about those things, but to them answers seemed to "make sense" when they followed the rules - even if the rules are remembered incorrectly; students got right and wrong answers and they all made sense because that's "how they learned it."
So, what is the point of teaching rules? Especially to those students who are a little weaker in math - if they can't remember the right rule, they can't tell if their answer is reasonable! They need to develop their number sense.
In the past, I have asked students to estimate the answer first, so they know if their answer is reasonable, and I have required them write these estimates on their tests. But we've also talked about the rules. I'm thinking that if I take the focus off the rules and put extra focus on the estimating/reasonable answer idea, students will be better able to identify reasonable answers and will feel less dependent on the rules.
Multiplication and Division of Decimals
I know that multiplication and division logic will be more difficult. Problems like 23.5 x 4.428, won't be as bad because there are whole numbers involved. This could be estimated as 25 x 4 = 100. So when placing the decimal point in 104058, students should place it so that the answer is about 100 - not 10, or 1, or 1000.
Multiplying 23.5 and 0.7 may be more confusing, but this will be the time to help them understand why the answer should be smaller than 23.5....but more than half of 23, since 0.7 is more than 0.5.
I think division will be the most challenging, as far as determining reasonable answers, and I need to think about this one a bit more. However, we have already done this activity I found on YouCubed -"Too Big or too Small Maze Board." In attempting to create the largest number possible (using a calculator to compute), many students have already made the discovery that dividing by a number less than one gave them a larger number, while multiplying by a number less than one gave them a smaller number. No rules were taught - they found this "secret" on their own. This will be great to reference and discuss when we begin working on the multiplication and division of decimals.
We'll see how it goes!

KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 (Bernama) -- Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to diversify their businesses in the face of a challenging market.
Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) chief executive officer Datuk Wan Latiff Wan Musa said there is no right or wrong time to consider exporting products and services.
"Given the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world, it is important that SMEs mitigate their geographic risks while expanding their businesses via exports," he told reporters at the SME CEO Forum 2019 here today.
The SME CEO Forum, held at the MATRADE Exhibition and Convention Centre, was organised by SME Magazine in partnership with MATRADE. Over 1,000 SMEs gathered at the forum to discuss access to new markets.
He said many local SMEs are finding it increasingly more difficult to survive in a rapidly changing market.
Wan Latiff said digital disruption has taken its toll on many businesses, from retail and manufacturing to trading and logistics.
"If this is not mitigated, many of our SMEs could be out of business in as little as three years' time," he said.
According to the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, SMEs contributed RM283.3 billion to the gross domestic product (GDP) last year -- a five per cent growth year-on-year.
In 2018, the total value of Malaysia's exports was RM835.48 billion. Just 18 per cent of these were contributed by SMEs.
In officiating the forum, Deputy Entrepreneur Development Minister, Datuk Wira Dr Mohd Hatta Ramli, also encouraged SMEs to diversify their businesses.
"The ministry is committed to the development of our SMEs. As part of the National Entrepreneurship Framework, it is our aim to strengthen the economic contribution of SMEs from 37.1 per cent of GDP in 2017 to 41 per cent by 2020.
"We are always ready to act as facilitator to assist entrepreneurs and SMEs in this regard," he said.

An enterprising woman from North Tyneside is turning her passion for volunteering into a new business venture designed to help individuals unlock their full potential and gain valuable employability skills.
Cygnet Careers
Kelly Oliver Dougall, 38 years old from Whitley Bay, has launched Cygnet Careers with the help of TEDCO Business Support which provides a wealth of practical advice and guidance to people throughout the region looking to set up their own commercial enterprise.
Having worked in the voluntary sector for 12 years with organisations including AgeUK and Mental Health Matters, Kelly gained first-hand insight into the benefits gleaned by the volunteers themselves. As well as providing valuable and much needed support, those who undertook volunteer responsibilities were able expand their own skill sets, gain essential workplace experience and recognise the value of the contributions they were able to make.
After being made redundant, Kelly was keen to channel her years of experience into an area which could support those who may be struggling to find permanent employment either through a lack of particular skills or needed a boost to their confidence by being shown how best to utilise the knowledge they had. She set about establishing Cygnet Careers to work with individuals , as well as supporting a range of organisations with a vested interest in improving the opportunities of local people.
Kelly Oliver Dougall said: "Volunteering is a very tangible way of enabling individuals to grow and improve, have increased interaction within their communities and, over the course of time, gain the confidence and develop the skills which will stand them in good stead to be able to go on and secure employment."
She added: "Volunteering is about so much more than someone simply doing something in their spare time, to work in a charity shop for example. Of course, people who volunteer in this way make a valuable and significant contribution; but for individuals who ultimately want to improve their career prospects or who have perhaps not had the opportunities available to them for various reasons, volunteering can offer a route to unlocking future potential."
Kelly had many years of experience in volunteering but having never run her own business, she turned to Allison Cowen, business advisor at TEDCO Business Support who introduced the New Enterprise Allowance scheme and provided Kelly with the help and support that she needed to get her venture off the ground.
TEDCO Business Support delivers the New Enterprise Allowance scheme across North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Darlington and provides help to eligible candidates aged 18 and over considering self employment.
Allison guided Kelly through everything she needed to consider including developing a business plan, marketing advice, networking and establishing clear business objectives.
She said: "It was evident from our first meeting that Kelly is passionate about people and helping develop their career choices and development. With a keen desire for supporting people in the local area Kelly has worked exceptionally hard to get her business up and running. She has been a pleasure to work with and I know that as time goes on her business will go from strength to strength."
Since launching Cygnet Careers, Kelly has secured a contract working with Whitley Bay Big Local to help co-ordinate the Big Lottery funded community group's volunteers as well as working with individuals in the town to develop and improve their own employability skills.
Kelly Oliver Dougall added: "The New Enterprise Allowance scheme and the support which I received from Allison and TEDCO have been fundamental to me being able to put myself in a position where launching and running my own business is now a reality. More and more people and organisations are recognising the range of benefits that being a volunteer and volunteering can bring and I'm looking forward to helping make a significant contribution to growth and community integration in our region."

Your Complete Guide to Traveling Solo as a Woman: Destinations, Tips, Safety, and More
Solo travel has innumerable benefits, both in terms of your growth as a person and the success of a vacation. But not everyone has the same privilege when it comes to solo travel. Depending on your gender and sexual identity, race, ability, and more, you may face different obstacles when traveling.
Traveling as a woman with many overlapping identities is often difficult and can be billed as a scary experience. But armed with knowledge, there are certain steps you can take to make your travel experience both a safe and amazing one.
Below are the steps that will help you as a women feel empowered and able to travel alone!
Must-Know Safety and Fun Tips for Traveling Solo as a Woman
Before Embarking
Do your research to ensure your safety
Before heading to a new destination, it is crucial that you know the basics: what the currency and conversion rate is (to avoid getting duped), social norms and customs (including what sort of dress is appropriate in your host country), and what areas are safer for women. You can find answers to these kinds of questions through Google, at the back of guidebooks like Lonely Planet, and through mobilizing your network of connections. Make sure to check out Jubel's guide to prepping for a trip to make sure you have all your bases covered!
Another thing to keep in mind is that you should, at the very minimum, know your first destination's housing, so that when you arrive you can head straight there.
Get an international plan or a local sim card
You never want to be in the position of not knowing where your hotel or hostel is, or to be completely out of contact from local authorities. Make sure before departure that you are going to get an international plan from your own carrier or get a local sim card.
Pro-tip: Local sim-cards, particularly in South and South East Asia, are much cheaper for data rates than in the US. However, verify that your phone is unlocked before you leave, and bring a paper clip so you can easily change the sim cards out.
Tell people where you are going
Make sure your friends and family back home know the specifics of where you are staying, in case anything bad were to happen. Give them the name, address, and phone number for the hotel, hostel, or AirBnb.
During the Trip
Find a network of local women
Many times, there are networks made for women traveling to a new place! Check out Women Welcome Women, an organization out of Britain which promotes international friendships among women. This could be a great way to tap into a local network and make new friends who can help you get situated in your destination.
Other great ways to meet women friends while abroad is staying in an all-female dorm in a hostel. Sure, privacy may be subpar, but you will definitely meet people and hopefully make friends, which is always a plus when traveling alone.
When Traveling Alone, Keep your Hotel Name and Address Private
Make sure to tell your friends and family at home the name of your hotel, but when you are on the trip, keep your hotel name and address to yourself. Set the Uber to the next door location, so they do not know the address and place of your stay. If people ask where you are staying, simply give them a vague answer without any specifics.
Limit drug and alcohol consumption
Drug and alcohol consumption can often addle our abilities to make safe decisions. To avoid this, limit your drinking and drug consumption abroad (and always watch your drinks). We recommend avoiding accepting drinks from strangers. And make sure to always be in accordance with local drug and alcohol laws!
Don't draw attention to yourself in public
We have already discussed the need to dress in accordance with the country's customs, but there are other ways you can limit the attention drawn to you when you are walking around in public. Take off any flashy jewelry and watches, keep the use of your phone when on the streets to a minimum, and avoid talking loudly, pointing, or taking pictures. This will avoid marking you as a tourist, or at least make you look aware of your surroundings.
Share your Uber rides with someone
Check what is more suitable to your destination, but we tend to recommend taking Ubers and other rideshares over cabs because your location and your driver can be tracked. A great tip for when you take an Uber is that you can share ride updates with people, so your friends and family back home can see if you made it to your destination safely.
Destinations Suited for Traveling Solo as a Woman
Not all destinations are created equal in terms of where women feel comfortable traveling alone. Below are some of Jubel's favorites. These are tried-and-true destinations that many women travel to each year. In particular, we looked for destinations that were both off-the-beaten-path while still having enough societal infrastructure to maintain your safety while adventuring. We also added in additional safety tips to observe should you go to any of these destinations.
Kathmandu and Annapurna, Nepal
Nepal, according to travel blog The Longest Way Home, is a highly-regarded country for women traveling alone. Kathmandu in particular houses a lot of tourists, so your presence there will be banal. In particular, the Thamel and Lazimpat areas are popular amongst tourists in South Asia (we recommend Lazimpat or Bouddha if you want to avoid the crowds of the party-heavy Thamel).
Moreover, most people in the major cities of Kathmandu and Pokhara speak English, so getting around should not be a problem.
From Kathmandu, head on a trek into the Himalayas. In Nepal, many trekking locales require local guides and porters. There are many all-female companies that can fulfill this rule for you. Check out 3 Sisters Adventure Trekking, operating out of Pokhara, as well as Nepal Female Guide Company.
Cape Town, South Africa
This beautiful African city, flanked by majestic mountains and oceans alike, is a wonderful place for women traveling alone. In particular, the Observatory area is a great place for women to stay, and there are many hostels which have women's dorms.
However, whether you are hiking Lion's Head or going out on Long Street, there are certain precautions you should take as a solo traveler. Make sure to keep your belongings safe from pickpockets, which are rampant in the popular nightlife areas, and avoid walking alone at night. Instead, hop in an Uber, which are quite cheap in this city.
Munich, Germany
Germany is an incredibly safe Western European country for women, and English is ubiquitous here. Munich in particular is a lovely place to visit, as in the warmer months many young people love to go to parks like the English Garden and hang out -- which makes such outdoor spaces a great place to meet people!
There are often festivals (besides the infamous Oktoberfest), which are super fun ways to plug into a new city! Check out this website for the down-low on all the upcoming festivals in Munich.
Pacific Crest Trail in Mexico, California, Oregon, and Washington
Cheryl Strayed may have done it first, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't follow in her footsteps and also hike North America's PCT. The PCT has become a lot safer and more popular amongst women in recent years.
If you are thinking about hiking part or all of the PCT, check out these invaluable tips from the women hikers who have done it. In particular, make sure you have a tracker so that your family from home knows where you are, and find a strong trail family to help you through it all.
Antigua, Guatemala
The cobble-stoned lined streets of Antigua are the perfect place for women to explore alone -- the town is big enough to feel expansive and exciting, but small enough that you won't get lost. As the oft-proclaimed "Hipster Capital" of Central America, Antigua is a great place to meet other fellow women travelers.
Take Spanish classes and Guatemalan cooking classes, explore the local bazaars, and ponder the Spanish architectural sites. You can even take a day trip to volcanoes or local ruins. Many hostels, including El Hostal BnB, offer female-only dorm rooms.
We at Jubel want to empower every woman to feel confident enough to travel alone. With these tips in mind, you will feel ready to conquer the obstacles ahead and have the best vacation -- solo or otherwise -- of your life!

Meghan Markle's Ex-Husband Trevor Engelson Marries Tracey Kurland
brides.com - 05-12
Long before meeting her now-husband Prince Harry, Meghan Markle had been briefly married to Hollywood producer Trevor Engelson. The couple split in 2013 after citing irreconcilable differences and they have both moved on—Markle is the new mom to a royal baby, while Engelson happily announced that he had proposed to nutritionist and heiress Tracey Kurland last year. Over the weekend, Engelson and Kurland tied the knot during a casual-chic reception at the Rosewood Miramar beach resort in Montecito, California.

Anyone use the tag field where it says you can "Separate tags using a comma.Utah RZR Rentals
It doesn't work!
It is 25 tags or characters?
You may add 25 tag(s) to this thread."?
It doesn't work!
I had these tags on the sale thread I just created:
skid plate, winch, tuner, plow, windshields, exhaust, sound bar, sound system, wheels and tires
that would be 9 tags that came up in the auto fill… but when I previewed the post it said I had 7 tags more than allowed.
It is 25 tags or characters?
I ended up being able to post with only these:

Agorism is a philosophy of freedom, grounded in the reality of the modern world that state interference is pervasive, yet often easy to subvert.
Put simply – Agorism is freedom from government coercion through peaceful, primarily economic, disobedience, also known as "counter-economics".
With modern governments in many countries holding a pervasive grip on almost every aspect of life, stealing a large portion of peoples productivity through taxation and arbitrarily controlling the availability of items and substances deemed "contraband" irrespective of their beneficiality, it is little wonder that people are hungry for more freedom.
Enter Agorism, which proposes that laws do not necessarily equate to morality, In other words, breaking laws (always non-violently) in order to voluntarily trade with others is not viewed as immoral, but rather as a peaceful means by which to liberate oneself from the coercive hold of the government whilst also helping others.
Agorism has likely been around as long as coercive governing control has existed, since the first prohibitions by ancient rulers the spirit of the free markets has always overcome attempts to cripple it. However, Agorism as a cohesive modern theory was developed in the mid '70s at two counter-culture conferences known as "CounterCon" primarily by Samuel Edward Konkin III and later by J. Neil Schulman in his novel "Alongside Night".
Konkin went on to publish "The New Libertarian Manifesto" in 1980 which further solidified the basis of the Agorist philosophy.
Agorism in Politics
A critical concept for newcomers to Agorism to understand is that the "left/right paradigm" does not apply to Agorism. It is not a leftist philosophy, it's not a right-wing philosophy and neither is it a centrist concept.
Rather, Agorism requires a restructuring of your understanding of the political spectrum. Instead of approaching politics based from a "spectrum based" paradigm, Agorists instead take some aspects of both sides of traditional left/right politics whilst blending in aspects of Anarcho-Capitalism.
Agorists do not identify with the party politics played out by the state, believing that this kind of divisive approach only serves to distract from the real issues while the politicians conduct little more than a cash-grab from taxpayers and wreak havoc on what would be otherwise healthy, thriving markets and economies, causing many of the social issues we see over-represented today in many modern states.
Agorism rejects the concept of voting, even for seemingly aligned parties such as the Libertarian Party. Using politics as a means to generate change is not considered moral since this will almost inevitably result in coercion. Instead, Agorists encourage the use of economic, market-based approaches to transitioning away from central government control.
Agorism Economic Theory
Agorism is based heavily on the "Austrian School of Economics", which espouses the concepts of individualism, subjectivism, consumer sovereignty & political individualism.
Through the employment of counter-economics (more on this soon), Agorism seeks to gradually withdraw consent and thus support of the state through economic means. By operating outside state control, we can starve the state of its' lifeblood (revenue) whilst simultaneously enriching the lives of those around us, non violently.
Freed from the encumbrance of state-mandated overheads, Agorists can often operate more efficiently than their state-shackled counterparts.
Counter-economics has been evidenced in recent years by companies such as Airbnb and Uber, both of whom challenged the (state-sanctioned) status-quo of their respective niches, and won, even against the behemoth of government.
This shows us clearly that the power of the free market not only exists in reality but has the power to play a vital role in human advancement, improvement of freedoms, economies and living conditions worldwide.
Once you understand the concept of "Non-violent, voluntary free-market trade", the economic basis of Agorism becomes fairly easy to visualize.
Agorism Social Theory
Agorism strongly advocates the free, open, peaceful and voluntary interaction of people, outside the realm of state interaction. In practical terms, this means operating within what is commonly referred to as the "gray" and "black" markets.
Although many people hear these terms and immediately think of unsavoury criminal elements, it's important to remember that non-violence is a prerequisite, and illegality doesn't necessarily equate to immorality.
Instead, black and gray markets are considered as follows:
- Gray Markets
These include technically legal (or not heavily illegal) yet unregulated market activities such as:
- Employing cash workers/working for cash "under the table"
- Using cryptocurrencies to pay for products/services
- Circumventing/avoidance of licensing mandates (eg operating unlicensed)
Although the term gray market may sound somewhat criminal, it's good to remember that well-known and trusted organizations such as Uber and Airbnb were considered gray market during their early years.
- Black Markets
Black markets are any human interactions that are expressly deemed illegal by the state. Although many immediately think of industries such as illegal poaching, human trafficking, and weapons trading when black markets are mentioned — however we should keep in mind that throughout history, legality and morality are not one and the same.
Examples of black markets include:
- Growing or provision of cannabis products (until recent years, this was prohibited almost globally), even in the case of critically ill patients. This has now been reversed in an increasing number of jurisdictions, further highlighting the lack of correlation between morality and legislation.
- Housing Provision. The leasing of property outside of state-mandated rent-controls or other related market interference.
- Provision or possession of firearms or other similar self-defence tools in non-2nd amendment countries. Many developed countries outside the USA expressly prohibit access to firearms for self-defence.
Agorism in Action
Almost all of us have engaged in "Agoristic" interactions in the course of our lives without even realizing it. There's no denying that at one point or another, we have chosen not to abide by certain laws or regulations, whether in our business or personal dealings.
Have you ever paid a contractor cash "under the table", without reporting it to authorities?
(or have you been that contractor?)
– If so, you may be an Agorist!
Have you ever used a service that is not legally sanctioned by the state in your area? (i.e. Uber, Airbnb, Encrypted messaging services etc)
– If so, you may be an Agorist!
Have you ever purchased/made/consumed illegal drugs of any kind (including liquor)?
– If so, you may be an Agorist!
In fact, any time you have conducted a voluntary, private interaction that is outside of state control (usually in the context of an economic transaction), you've been engaging in active agorism.
A common time when Agorism appears is when a construction contractor offers the option for their client to pay cash for the job, in exchange for a discount, usually equal to the amount of HST/VAT/GST tax that they would be required to pay if the contract is done "on the books".
The result of this voluntary transaction is that only the two relevant parties to the transaction are involved, while the state is effectively "cut out" of the transaction, and denied their unearned slice of the deal.
No-one is hurt, ripped off, or coerced during this peaceful voluntary transaction. The client gets a great deal, the contractor gets to keep all of his or her profits, and the state is starved of its' lifeblood – tax funding — It's Agorism at its' finest.
Agorism: The Bottom Line
Agorism isn't a new "fad", nor is it a lofty set of ideals by which you are expected to live your life.
Rather, Agorism is based completely on the concept of "Live & Let Live". It requires a rethinking of how you view state institutions and their roles in your life. Agorism is about stripping away the smoke and mirrors of state control, taking the path of self-determination and personal responsibility, starving the state of its' lifeblood – Revenue.
In the next part of our Introduction to Agorism, we'll be discussing Counter-economics and one of the central tenets of Agorism – the Non-aggression principle.

Jeremiah 1:4-10
Preachers are a dime a dozen. Right now, on Rt. 151 alone, there must be 15 of us shifting our notes, preparing to deliver our understanding of the word of the Lord. Each of us has two things in common. We are all legends in our own minds and we are all replaceable. The Tandy's and the Cameron's have come and gone and Rockfish still moves forward. In two weeks my former church will install their new pastor and Graves Memorial will have hardly skipped a beat. To be a great preacher is indeed a rare thing. Ask Lynne Carson about John Buchanan or Bill Howard about Otis Moss III. They know what I am talking about. Personally I have marveled at the gifts of folks like Barbara Brown Taylor, Joe Roberts Jr. and Bill Coffin. I had the honor of hearing Desmond TuTu. Now those folks can preach. Joe Roberts could weave his magic for thirty minutes and make me wish for an additional thirty. A great pulpiteer is indeed rare, but not as rare as a great prophet.
In this morning's text we are introduced to the prophet Jeremiah. He stood alone, speaking words no one cared to hear as the City of Jerusalem and the land of Judah crumbled into oblivion. The book of Jeremiah is not light reading. It reflects the words of one man, supposedly speaking for a God brought to tears by the reckless behavior of a wayward people. The Old Testament prophets did not predict the future. Instead they made social commentary on the events they witnessed. The Old Testament prophets spoke words they believed God placed on their tongue. Often those words burned their mouths and their hearts as they dreamed of a future when God would again ordain peace and harmony to once again walk hand in hand.
Jeremiah 1:9 states, "I have put my words in your mouth. You tell my people, "Today I will pluck up and pull down. I will destroy and overthrow. And then I will then build and plant."
The word of the Lord is something few dare to speak, for with the recitation of the word, follows the crisis of a nation.
At the moment of his death in April of 1968, I am not sure how many white folks in America would have proclaimed Martin Luther King Jr. a prophet of God. I was old enough at the time to have heard and believed many of the accusations thrown his way. King was accused of being a communist, a womanizer, and a person inciting violence while preaching non-violence. Many folks I personally knew felt he had brought his death upon himself by being "uppity". In the south it was generally understood some folks were only capable of achieving certain heights. If you aspired to raise your own personal bar you were "uppity" and had to be taught a lesson. There is no doubt King wanted to raise that bar, not just for himself, and not just for one group of people, but for a nation that much like ancient Jerusalem had lost its moral compass. If we had all been listening to King's words on August 28th, 1963, perhaps more of us might have wept bitter tears five years later.
I have tried to remember what I was doing on that Wednesday afternoon. CBS aired the entire three hours of the event but it was not until many years later that I finally viewed it. By then the names of the speakers and had become members of my own personal Hall of Fame. They included A. Phillip Randolph, James Farmer, John Lewis, and Roy Wilkens. Famous protest singers such as Joan Baez, Bob Dylan and Peter, Paul, and Mary all sang but they were completely upstaged by Mahalia Jackson's rendition of "I've been 'buked and I've been scorned." Then, Dr. King was introduced.
When does one become a prophet? The real ones are seldom self-appointed because the real ones want to be anything but a prophet. I think the ascension to this lonely post comes when God chooses to put the words on your lips.
On the night of August 27th the leaders of the March gathered in one room to weigh in on how King was to close this historical event. The original dream did not belong to King. Randolph had tried to organize a march on Washington during the Truman Administration. He was the dean of the movement and King listened to every word he spoke. But there were also other voices in the room. Farmer and Wilkens had a different agenda. Lewis wanted to make sure his young volunteers were inspired. King wrote and rewrote until his trusted friend Ralph Abernathy leaned over and said, "Martin, take us to church."
The next afternoon, after three hours of speechmaking and singing, A. Phillip Randolph introduced Dr. King as the "moral leader of the nation". The mantle had been officially transferred. If you have listened to that speech, if you have listened carefully, you will note that King, tipping his hat to Lincoln and Jefferson, began a stylized dissertation that seemed aimed at the white intelligentsia of America. It was well crafted and probably was a masterpiece in its own right. But King never got to the end of what he had prepared. If you watch carefully you will note that King seems to struggle with the written words before him. He hesitates, takes a deep breathe and that was all the time God needed. Mahalia Jackson, sitting directly behind King, said loud enough for many folks to hear, "Martin, tell them about the dream." Using Jackson as a holy vessel, the word of the Lord was placed on the lips of Dr. King and the rest is history. Setting aside his prepared text, he began to preach. It wasn't a new theme. King had introduced it in churches throughout Detroit before coming to Washington. It wasn't even an original theme. Years before, King heard Howard Thurman preach, "Keep the dream alive; for as long as a man has a dream in his heart, he cannot lose the significance of living."
It was not even King's dream. It was the hope of every person on that mall, every mother growing weak in Mississippi, and every father growing old in the shadow of Stone Mountain. It echoed Jefferson's dream that "All people would be created equal". It celebrated Lincoln's dream that "with malice toward none and clarity for all we would strive to finish the work before us." But primarily it was and is God's dream that "Good news will be brought to the oppressed, the broken hearted will be uplifted, and liberty will be proclaimed to the captives".
Dr. King took folks to church that day. By the end of his speech everyone there realized someone finally had the courage to say in a public place what everyone had been thinking. Integration was not just a civil issue. It was not just a matter of morality. It was a holy cause and God Almighty was in front of the parade. God was about to tear down and build up and not everyone was going to be happy with the transition.
Fifty years after that historic moment, I often wonder what Dr. King would say if he were still with us. History tells us prophets never live long but what if he had lived and was returning to Washington to speak a word or two. He would have been 84 years old. I know a lot of folks older than 84 who still have something to say.
I like to imagine he would have looked at the children and wondered out loud why we are cutting money from Head Start.
I like to think he would have looked at the male teenagers and said, "Pull up your pants, wear a belt and walk like you know where you are headed."
I think after years of listening to Yolanda and Bernice, he would have reminded all young women that they are equal partners in life and glass ceilings can be eliminated by constantly swinging the hammer of justice.
I think after years of listening to Coretta, he would have had a serious talk to folks of all races and sexual orientations about how he had came to respect the covenant of marriage.
I think he would still preach nonviolence as a lifestyle, compassion as a holy standard and justice as a vocation.
I think he would have declared the God we call Yahweh, Jehovah and Allah is One in the same.
While he was a man of impeccable dress, I like to think he might have made the speech in a hoodie, reminding us that while we have come along way, the dream is not yet complete.
I hope he would have ended his speech with words from a sermon he wrote from one verse in the book of Jude. "Our God is able. Let this affirmation be our ringing cry. It will give us courage to face the uncertainties of the future. It will give our tired feet new strength as we stride toward the city of freedom. When our days become dreary with low hovering clouds and our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a great power in this universe. God is able to make a way out of no way, and transform dark our yesterdays into bright tomorrows. This is our hope for becoming better people. This is our mandate for seeking a better world."
Spoken like a true prophet of the Lord.
To God be the glory. Amen.
