Extractions: In briefest terms, we regard mathematics not as something a student takes, but rather some-thing that he or she creates. Whether a student wants to teach math, plans graduate study, plans to apply mathematics in a career in industry, or desires the ability to reason logically and analytically, the study of mathematics adds up to an intellectual experience which, from the abacus to the rocket, has been essential to living. The Mathematics Program at St. Scholastica The College of St. Scholastica offers an undergraduate program in mathematics. Students may prepare for graduate study or for careers in secondary education or industry. Mathematics majors are encouraged to pursue a minor or a second major in a field to which mathematics may be profitably applied, such as management, computer information systems or a science. Students planning to teach mathematics in middle and secondary grades should major in mathematics. Students can also prepare to teach elementary grades and select a mathematics minor.
Learning Disabilities OnLine: LD In-Depth: Math Learning Disabilities represents their only notable math learning difficulty proceed to more complex computation, applications, and concepts of quantities and operations are already http://www.ldonline.org/ld_indepth/math_skills/garnett.html
Extractions: November 1998 DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATH LEARNING PROBLEMS As with students' reading disabilities, when math difficulties are present, they range from mild to severe. There is also evidence that children manifest different types of disabilities in math (Badian, 1983; Cohn, 1971; Kosc 1974; Strang and Rourke, 1985). Unfortunately, research attempting to classify these has yet to be validated or widely accepted, so caution is required when considering descriptions of differing degrees of math disability. Still, it seems evident that students do experience not only differing intensities of math dilemmas, but also different types, which require diverse classroom emphases, adaptations and sometimes even divergent methods. Mastering Basic Number Facts Many learning disabled students have persistent trouble "memorizing" basic number facts in all four operations (Fleischner, Garnett, & Shepherd, 1982), despite adequate understanding and great effort expended trying to do so. Instead of readily knowing that 5+7=12, or that 4x6=24, these children continue laboriously over years to count fingers, pencil marks or scribbled circles and seem unable to develop efficient memory strategies on their own. Interactive and intensive practice with motivational materials such as games ... attentiveness during practice is as crucial as time spent

Extractions: reprinted with permission Not all individuals with dyslexia have problems with mathematics, but many do. There are those who have a good memory for sequences and can execute procedures in a "recipe" style, i.e., step-by-step. They are able to remember formulas, but may not understand why the formula makes sense. They prefer to do paper and pencil tasks and are attentive to the details, but do not see the big picture. Then, there are those who see the big picture and have insight into the patterns of mathematics, but are poor at computation and have problems with remembering step-by-step procedures. They also understand mathematical concepts and like to solve problems mentally and quickly, yet their answers may be inaccurate. These individuals may have difficulty in verbalizing and explaining their answers. Too frequently and too readily, individuals with dyslexia who have difficulty with mathematics are misdiagnosed as having dyscalculia - literally trouble with calculating, a neurologically based disability. True dyscalculia is rare (Steeves, 1983). We know that for individuals with dyslexia, learning mathematical concepts and vocabulary and the ability to use mathematical symbols can be impeded by problems similar to those that interfered with their acquisition of the written language (Ansara, 1973).

Extractions: A member of Ryerson Polytechnic Institute's Department of Engineering and Computing brings you this award-winning site about the history and operations of the abacus. The site compares devices from different countries, gives an overview of the abacus's history, teaches how to use an abacus, offers instructions on making an abacus out of Legos, and offers recommended reading and links. There are lots of fun math activities to create using information at this site about Baseball Parks using the Facts and Figures section. Students can practice their protractor skills by measuring angles related to baseball field orientation. They can use statistics about seating capacity and cost to build the park to figure out the most expensive seat or rank the domed stadiums by size. There are many ways to engage students in practicing math skills by using data many will find interesting. Professor Margo Lynn Mankus of George Mason University prepared this entertaining site designed to help students understand the base ten counting system. The site includes a user-friendly though detailed java applet which allows students to manipulate base ten counting units in an online game, with accompanying teacher materials.

Back to Math Home Page MATHEMATICS IN INDUSTRY: Industry has opportunities for mathematicians at all levels. They are needed in such areas as operations research, statistics, computer science, applied mathematical physics and actuarial science. Industries which employ many mathematicians include: Aero-Space, Oil, Electrical Manufacturing, Communications, Data Processing and Insurance. An individual in operations research constructs simple mathematical models (mathematical equations which represent real- life situations) of complex economic and business structures. These models are intended to predict the future needs of the company. The major mathematical tools for O.R. are Advanced Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Probability, Statistics and Computer Programming.
