Students will understand both number systems and number sense in order to solve problems. 2. Students will understand the basic processes of algebra such as the four operations and apply their understanding to solving problems. 3. Students will understand and be able to organize, represent, analyze, and interpret data in various ways. 1. Students will know and experience many methods of problem solving. 2. Students will know and master the principle techniques associated with sets, functions, numerations systems, number theory, rational and irrational numbers, probability and statistics. 3. Students will know how to teach concepts of problem solving in the elementary classroom. The theme of this curriculum is: Literature and Math Mathematics and literature have always been at opposite ends of the spectrum in education. Mathematics is seen as narrow, single-answered, and abstract while literature is broad, creative, and symbolic. However, mathematics is much more than that it helps us understand and live in our world. Using literature to teach mathematical concepts will break through those stereotypes helping to visualize not only the mathematical concepts, but also the reality and the diversity of math.

This Webpage provides a short introduction to each of the seven themes, as well as clickable links that lead to more detail. Theme 1: Students Competing with ICT Systems. Our math education system spends an inordinate amount of time attempting to teach students to memorize procedures and develop both speed and accuracy in carrying them outthings that machines do much better than people. Theme 2: Students and Mathematical Developmental Theory. The content of significant parts of the current PreK-12 math curriculum is not appropriately aligned with what we know about developmental theory in general, and mathematics development theory (math maturity) in particular.

Extractions: But the idea is the important thing -"New Math" By Tom Lehrer (1965) Reinventing math is an old tradition in this country. It has been around at least since the 1960's, when the inimitable Tom Lehrer mocked the New Math in Berkeley cafes. Even Beatniks understood that a method that highlights concepts at the expense of plain old calculation would add up to trouble. And, as it happened, the New Math's introduction in schools across the country coincided with the onset of a multi-year decline in math scores. Today the original New Math is old hat, but many folks in the education world are hawking yet another reform. It is known by names like "Connected Math," or "Everyday Math." Not surprisingly, the New New Math has a lot in common with the Old New Math. Like its forerunner, it focuses on concepts and theory, scorning textbooks and pencil-and-paper computation as "rote drill." And like its forerunner, today's New Math has powerful allies. Education secretary Richard Riley and other Clintonites smile on it. Eight of the 10 curriculums recently recommended for nationwide use by an influential Education Department panel teach the New New Math. Not that all members of the Academy are joining the movement. Within weeks of the Education Department findings, 200 mathematicians and scientists, including four Nobel Prize recipients and two winners of a prestigious math prize, the Fields Medal, published a letter in the Washington Post deploring the reforms. More are now rallying on an opposition Website

Extractions: New Jersey Mathematics Curriculum Framework All students will understand, select, and apply various methods of performing numerical operations. Numerical operations are an essential part of the mathematics curriculum. Students must be able to select and apply various computational methods, including mental math, estimation, paper-and-pencil techniques, and the use of calculators. Students must understand how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers, fractions, and other kinds of numbers. With calculators that perform these operations quickly and accurately, however, the instructional emphasis now should be on understanding the meanings and uses of the operations, and on estimation and mental skills, rather than solely on developing paper-and-pencil skills. The wide availability of computing and calculating technology has given us the opportunity to significantly reconceive the role of computation and numerical operations in our school mathematics programs. Up until this point in our history, the mathematics program has called for the expenditure of tremendous amounts of time in helping children to develop proficiency with paper-and-pencil computational procedures. Most people defined proficiency as a combination of speed and accuracy with the standard algorithms. Now, however, adults who need to perform calculations quickly and accurately have electronic tools that are more accurate and more efficient than any human being. It is time to re-examine the reasons to teach paper-and-pencil computational algorithms to children and to revise the curriculum in light of that re-examination. Mental mathematics, however, should continue to be stressed; students should be able to carry out simple computations without resort to either paper-and-pencil or calculators. Fourth-graders must know the basic facts of the multiplication table, and seventh-graders must be able to evaluate in their heads simple fractions, such as

Standardized Test Parent Involvement Q: How can I get involved? How can I reinforce my child's mathematics learning at home? A: Communicate with your child's teacher on a regular basis. If possible, volunteer to help with Explorations or Projects. Attend school functions, such as Math Night, planned to inform you about Everyday Mathematics and your child's progress. At home, talk with your child about real-life situations that involve mathematics, such as buying groceries or balancing the checkbook. Ask your child to "teach" you the mathematics lessons he is learning, including favorite games and creative solution strategies. Ask your child to bring home the Grade 3, 4, 5 Student Reference Books to share together. Basic Facts Q: Will my child learn and practice basic facts? A: Your child will learn and practice all of the basic facts in many different ways without having to complete an overwhelming number of drill pages. She will play mathematics games in which numbers are generated randomly by dice, dominoes, spinners, or cards. She will work with Fact Triangles, which present fact families and stress the addition/subtraction and multiplication/division relationships. In fourth grade, she will take timed "50-facts" multiplication tests that will require her to learn the facts she does not already know. She will have continuing access to addition/subtraction and multiplication/division fact tables that will serve as references for the facts she does not yet know and as records of the facts she does. She will also take part in short oral drills to review facts with her classmates.

Extractions: Computation Add-in Basics Using Add-ins In Case of Trouble Source Code Join the Club Using Add-ins Version of Excel To use the programs in this package, you must have access to a Macintosh or IBM compatible computer with the Microsoft Excel program installed. For the Windows operating system, the version of Excel must be 97 or later. For the Macintosh operating system the version must be 98 or later. The Solver Add-in that comes with Excel should also be installed to solve deterministic optimization problems. Installing Add-ins The Add-ins files may be placed anywhere on the hard disk or even on a floppy disk. One procedure is to create a directory (or folder) entitled "jensen.lib" and place it in the directory called "Add-ins" created by the Microsoft installation program. The add-in files are then placed in the "jensen.lib" directory. Alternatively, the add-in files may placed in any directory on the hard disk. It is important to put all the ORMM add-ins in the same directory. To use an Add-in first open the Excel program. Choose the "Add-Ins" command from the Tools menu. A dialog box showing the current list of Add-ins appears as in the figure below. Add-ins are identified by name. A check in the box next to the name means that the add-in is installed, while an unchecked box means that it is not installed. If an add-in that you want does not appear in the list use the Select... or Browse... button to move to the directory in which the ORMM add-ins are stored. The most convenient way to use the ORMM add-ins is to first install the Add ORMM add-in. All the others can be installed from the dialog box of the Add ORMM add-in.
