Extractions: Description: This course is designed to help teachers help children learn mathematical concepts and skills, including all-important problem-solving skills. The course is divided into three parts. The first part provides learning theories as a base for understanding the foundations of mathematics curriculum and how children learn it. It also helps teachers apply the learning theories to help children develop foundations of number sense and problem solving. The second part discusses teaching strategies for computational procedures in whole number, fractions and decimals. The third part focuses on investigation and process skills of mathematics including estimation, measurement, geometry and spatial skills. Goals and Objectives: The goal of this course is to provide teachers with the tools needed to teach standards-based mathematics effectively at the elementary school level.

Extractions: M any kids hate math and especially word problems because they "don't get it." We don't like what we don't understand. If word problems aren't an intriguing challenge for a learner, we haven't done our job properly. The first purpose of this program is to supplement school programs for children with exercises that, I hope, will help them understand arithmetic. The second purpose is to provide a minimal program for adults who don't have the time or inclination to learn paper and pencil math. The third purpose is to provide a review for parents and tutors. The fourth purpose is to provide additional resources to whoever is interested. When I have tutored children, I have noticed that they often guess which operation is indicated. I would like for them to think about the problem and determine what they need to do to solve it. Young children are not good at abstract thinking, but I would like them to understand what they are doing. They may not always understand my explanations, but I hope they will get the idea after doing the problems and after reviewing. I have also found that children usually don't check their work. They haven't learned that there are three essential steps in solving math problems:
Games That Teach Spice up gray winter days by reinforcing math skills with challenging Showdown reinforces mental computation of the basic operations addition, subtraction http://teacher.scholastic.com/professional/teachstrat/games_teach.htm
Extractions: By Sandra Waite-Stupiansky, Ph.D., and Nicholas G. Stupiansky, Ph.D. Spice up gray winter days by reinforcing math skills with challenging games. Two games the whole class can play are Who Am I? and Cover Up! These work in much the same way Bingo does. The difference is that everyone has the same game card, or "hundred chart," which the teacher can make. Hundred charts are 10-by-10 grids with the numbers 1 to 100 printed in the boxes (see below for the chart). They make wonderful game boards. Put your hundred chart on an overhead projector and give the children individual charts to work on at their desks. They will also need crayons, markers, or plastic counters to play. Mark all of the correct answers on your chart but don't turn on the overhead projector until the end of the game. Who Am I? Cover Up! Another game focusing on number sense that utilizes hundred charts is Cover Up! Challenge students to use plastic counters or squares of paper to cover "all of the even numbers," "all the multiples of four," "all the prime numbers," and so on. Children can work with multiple partners, but groups of two work best. Remember, everyone can win if they cover the right numbers. The children yell, "Cover Up!" when they are done instead of "Bingo!"

As teachers of young children, we are responsible for creating the building blocks for future learning in every field. We have a special responsibility to teach children to use technological tools and problem solving strategies that will enable them to navigate the explosion of knowledge that will continue to be an inevitable be part of their future. By preparing children well, we will equip them to be productive citizens in a world that may well be very different from anything that we have imagined for them.

Careers In Mathematics And Statistics Those wishing to teach at the University level In this age of computers and sophisticated oil companies, geophysical exploration operations, companies who http://math.usask.ca/document/netinfo/mathcareer.html
Extractions: Many of those who graduate from the University of Saskatchewan with a major in Mathematics or an Honours degree in Mathematics enter the teaching profession. Those who wish to teach at Junior or Technical Colleges (such as SIAST) should obtain at least a master's degree. Those wishing to teach at the University level require a Ph.D. degree. This is a very rewarding and satisfying career for those with the necessary ability and interest in teaching and research. Government agencies and business and industry are becoming increasingly aware of the advantages of hiring persons who have a strong background in mathematics, usually along with considerable knowledge in some other area such as computing science, economics, geography, chemistry, physics, etc. In this age of computers and sophisticated machinery, many jobs require a high degree of knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering, and often mathematicians form an important part of the research and development wing of engineering consulting firms, oil companies, geophysical exploration operations, companies who specialize in advising big hospitals or other large scale operations on how to maximize their efficiency, companies at the cutting edge of high technology such as SED systems, Bell Telephone, etc. Many research laboratories employ mathematicians as part of their staff and many government agencies at all levels (municipal, provincial and federal) do the same. The top jobs of course go to those best qualified, those holding a Ph.D. or at least a Master's degree.

Mathematics offers a strong background in skills many businesses seek when recruiting new employees. It can be especially marketable when complemented by a minor in an area of interest. An education in mathematics teaches students to think critically and creatively, solve problems, organize information, handle technical language and notation, and to speak and write precisely. While some math majors intend to pursure teaching or graduate studies in math, applied math, statistics, physics, or engineering, these are not the only options available to them. Math majors are welcomed in professional schools to study business, law, or medicine. Math is especially good preparation for law school because of its emphasis on critical thinking and precision. Related Organizations Each organization publishes journals and reports to communicate with professionals about trends in the field and new developments and issues affecting its members. Some of their career brochures are available in the math department office or in the Career Services Center. Their web sites are a wealth of information on career planning, internships, and available jobs.
