    Extractions: Our classroom is using MathLand this year. This is a comprehensive mathematics program that balances the classic basics (such as fact memorization and efficiency with computation) with the new basics (such as the ability to use tools like a calculator or computer). I will be teaching both aspects of basic skills. We will also go beyond the basics to include the development of conceptual understanding with a greater emphasis on problem solving and critical thinking. Math timed tests are going great!

    Extractions: A Fortune article describing the work of Yale professor Edward Tufte, whose mission is to improve the way we visually present data and information. Getting the Picture: Communicating Data Visually According to U.S. census estimates, the population of Texas grew from 17,045,000 people in 1990 to 18,378,000 in 1994. The population of Massachusetts grew from 6,018,000 people in 1990 to 6,041,000 people in 1994. If the population figures above were difficult for you to read and absorb, you're not alone. Reading about data can be awkward. When it's presented like this, it's hard to grasp the essential information and to see the important messages that may be behind the numbers. If this information were presented as a chart or, better yet, as a picture, it would be much easier to understand. Charts and tables Let's try presenting the population figures above as a table.

Summary The purpose of this program is neither to condemn nor glorify war, but rather to help develop a realistic perspective concerning the conditions of war and how they affect people. The basic concepts presented in the two programs are the conflict of an individual's humanistic values in an environment of violence and the conflict between an individual's sense of morality and one's social role and duty. Due to the sophistication of these programs, it is suggested that they be previewed by the teacher before being shown to students. Subject(s) CIVILIZATION

52. What Is Changing In Math Ed?
    Instead, their products are better characterized as communicating about math, written and spoken words and pictures that have something to do with math  
    http://www.mathematicallycorrect.com/what.htm
    
    Extractions: The impending changes in mathematics education are not based on any change in the mathematics that has been developed over thousands of years. Rather, they are based on a cluster of notions from teaching philosophy and a desire to implement them all at once. The driving force behind these changes is dissatisfaction with the continued declines in the achievement of American students, coupled with the idea that a set of goals should be developed that all students can attain. The position taken is that poor math achievement is the result of the traditional curriculum and the way it has been implemented by teachers. The fact that math education in countries with high levels of achievement does not look like these new programs, but rather like intensified versions of our own traditional programs, is never addressed. One of the philosophical components is the idea of Constructivism or discovery learning. This notion holds that students will learn math better if they are left to discover the rules and methods of mathematics for themselves, rather than being taught by teachers or textbooks. This is not unlike the Socratic method, minus Socrates. One of the problems with this approach is that teachers must be extremely skilled in these methods. Another is that "discovery" takes so long that considerably less material can be covered. A third problem is that the children sometimes "discover" the wrong "rules" and teachers don't always catch the error.

    Extractions: MATHEMATICS The Illinois Learning Standards for Mathematics were developed by Illinois teachers for Illinois schools. These goals, standards and benchmarks are an outgrowth of the 1985 Illinois State Goals for Learning influenced by the latest thinking in school mathematics. This includes the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics; Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics ; ideas underlying recent local and national curriculum projects; results of state, national, and international assessment findings; and the work and experiences of Illinois school districts and teachers. Mathematics is a language we use to identify, describe and investigate the patterns and challenges of everyday living. It helps us to understand the events that have occurred and to predict and prepare for events to come so that we can more fully understand our world and more successfully live in it. Mathematics encompasses arithmetic, measurement, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, probability and other fields. It deals with numbers, quantities, shapes and data, as well as numerical relationships and operations. Confronting, understanding and solving problems is at the heart of mathematics. Mathematics is much more than a collection of concepts and skills; it is a way of approaching new challenges through investigating, reasoning, visualizing and problem solving with the goal of communicating the relationships observed and problems solved to others.

Let furthermore the colour of each cell in each generation be represented by a colour index v n [j], where n represents the generation and j the cell number. It is assumed that the cells in each generation has a given ordering such that corresponding cells N generation s apart (when the pattern has resumed its original appearence) have the same cell number. The totality of all colour indices in a given generation n can then be represented by a vector v n of dimension r n , where r n is the number of cells in the nth generation. v is the initial distribution.

    http://www.wcer.wisc.edu/publications/WCER_Highlights/Vol.8_No.1_Spring_1996/Inn
    
    Extractions: Innovative courses boost math achievement Upgraded math courses implemented in New York and California are raising student achievement and improving students' chances of mastering college preparatory math. Four school districts in California and New York offer "transition" math courses that serve as a bridge between basic math and college preparatory math (see WCER Highlights Summer 1994, p. 4). New York initiated its transition math courses 10 years ago; California initiated different, but equally effective courses, about five years ago. The point of the courses is to help break the vicious cycle of the "basic" or "general" track, in which teachers set low expectations for students in lower level math courses, and students hold low expectations of themselves. New York's Stretch Regents courses emphasize the integration of math topics, but at a pace more accessible to students who have struggled in math. The University of Chicago School Math Project (UCSMP) courses in place in Buffalo, New York, and California's Math A focus on the use of manipulatives, group work, and problem-solving strategies that actively engage students in understanding mathematics and how it is applied. Researchers at the WCER branch of the Consortium for Policy Research in Education studied these innovative courses to determine how and why they were effective. Adam Gamoran, Andrew Porter, John Smithson, and Paula White gathered data from seven high schools across four districts (Buffalo and Rochester, New York, and San Diego and San Francisco, Calif.). They selected schools with high percentages of minority and low-income students, because the problem of dead-end classes for low-achieving students is most severe in such schools.

    Extractions: Using oral and written communication as a tool helps students reflect upon their understandings of mathematics, make connections within and outside of mathematics, and personalize math concepts. Buschman (1995) explains: "As soon as students use words to describe their thinking, they make their understanding more precise and more general at the same time. Only by using words in many situations and many contexts do students come to understand the full meaning of each word." To illustrate the many ways that students communicate in mathematics, Mazie Jenkins and Johnny Lott (1995) quote Jacob, a Wisconsin third grader, as he describes communication in his class: References Content and general comments:
