Extractions: For the last 10 years, I have been an advocate for standards-based teaching of mathematics and numeracy to adult basic education (ABE), General Educational Development (GED), and adult English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) students. It has been quite a journey, a learning experience, and the most fulfilling part of my adult education career since I returned to teaching adults in 1985. By "standards-based," I mean a set of values and important ideas used to judge methods of instruction and assessment. With respect to math instruction, I mean both content and methodology based upon the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989), which was adapted for ABE instruction by Massachusetts teachers.

No really, we mean it for pretty much any list you can make of aspects you'd like in a job (dress up? just jeans? work with people? work on your own? etc.), there's some mathematical career that's right for you. One of the reasons that mathematically-trained people are needed in almost every field is that we are known for our excellent problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Furthermore, according to the Jobs Rated Almanac by Les Krantz, many of the most desirable careers (see a cool summary here and a long list here and the and top-ten lists) are technical in nature and require some expertise in the mathematical sciences. The American Mathematical Society maintains a page on careers, semester and/or summer opportunities, graduate schools, competitions, and other interesting things for undergraduates. Some of the career opportunities available to a major in mathematics include: Actuarial Mathematics - The application of mathematics, particularly probability and statistics, to the insurance industry.

Extractions: (Frequently Asked Questions) How does Everyday Mathematics address basic facts? When should students be expected to know their facts? How does ... How can I help my child? Helping children learn the basic facts is an important goal in the Everyday Mathematics Curriculum. Most children should have developed an automatic recall of the basic addition and subtraction facts by the end of the second grade. They should also know most of their 1, 2, 5, and 10 multiplication facts by this time. By the end of the fourth grade most students should have an automatic recall of all the basic multiplication facts and be familiar with the basic division facts. Multiplication and division facts are reinforced at the beginning of fifth grade. The Everyday Mathematics curriculum employs a variety of techniques to help children develop their "fact power", or basic number-fact reflexes. These include: Practice Through Games

Extractions: Knowing and Doing Math Improve Mathematics Achievement With OSEP support, researchers are developing approaches that enhance students' math performance by focusing on both the knowing and the doing aspects of mathematics. The following examples show that effective math instruction must address the students' deeper understanding of mathematics. "If we want students with disabilities to do better in math, teachers have to make it more accessible and meaningful to them," asserts John Cawley , Professor Emeritus at the University of Connecticut. Cawley began his career in mathematics in 1953 and since that time has focused many of his academic pursuits on helping students with disabilities achieve mathematically. For him, both knowing and doing mathematics must be emphasized if we are to enhance the quality of mathematics instruction and learning for students with disabilities. "Knowing about mathematics means the student comprehends the basic principles of the mathematics and knows there is more than one way to explain the mathematics and that there is frequently more than one acceptable answer," Cawley explains. "This is contrasted with doing mathematics, which means the student can apply a number of different strategies and mathematics principles to complete an item. Today, many of the problems students face with math stem from educators neglecting the knowing and overemphasizing the doing."

Extractions: Department of Mathematics - University of Utah Home Students Math Ed Schedules ... Colloquia Mathematics is basic to science, engineering and any analytic endeavor. Mathematicians often work as part of a team of scientists and engineers who conduct research, solve problems, or develop products and systems in technology, industry, finance or business. Others continue studying mathematics in graduate school and conduct basic research in mathematics itself. A mathematics degree also provides a strong background for those who will pursue other interests, such as medicine or law. Typical careers include actuary, cryptologist, statistician, operations researcher, agricultural economist, numerical analyst, marketing manager, data analyst, software developer, market researcher, inventory strategist, mathematics of finance specialist, measurements researcher, information systems consultant, elementary or high school teacher, college or university professor, and research scientist. In addition, mathematicians occupy many administrative positions in finance and accounting departments and in research operations where computers, statistics and analytical thought play an important role. Typical employers include research firms, aerospace and oil companies, electronic and biomedical equipment manufacturers, communications laboratories, school systems and investment banking firms. Computer software companies are prime employers, and insurance companies seek mathematicians for actuarial work.

The department was cited as an example of a successful undergraduate mathematics program by the Mathematical Association of America (Models That Work, Case Studies in Effective undergraduate Mathematics Programs) and St. Olaf ranks sixth in the nation as a producer of students who went on to complete Ph.D.'s in the mathematical sciences (Report on Undergraduate Origins of Recent [1991-95] Science and Engineering Doctorate Recipients). Mathematics: Students arrange majors in mathematics by individual contracts that include both course work and independent mathematical activity. Contracts normally include seven courses beyond linear algebra, balanced to represent analytic, axiomatic, and applied mathematics. Independent activities include tutoring, attending colloquia, grading papers, computer consulting, internships, and undergraduate research. Computer Science: An interdisciplinary concentration that may be attached to any major, includes courses in software, hardware, theoretical and applied computer science. Concentrations are arranged by individual contract to support the goals of the student.
Extractions: Monitor staff B iting their lips in concentration, seventh-graders in John Phillips pre-algebra class squint at the problem he has chalked onto the blackboard: -11 + (+8) = ? Nobody is scribbling down a formula, however. Instead, the students shuffle red and yellow plastic disks across their desks. Each student plunks down 11 red disks for -11 and 8 yellow disks for +8. When they match them disc for disc, three reds are left. 'Its negative three,' the students call out. In another classroom here at Gunston Middle School in Arlington, Va., Linda Allen teaches seventh-graders proportions and percentages using their mothers ages. The average moms age is 30, it turns out, so Allen throws in her anomalous 60-year-old mother and shows how an extreme number can skew the data. Allen and Phillips use a demonstrative approach to mathematics teaching that has gained popularity during the 1990s. Often referred to as 'constructivist math,' the approach seeks to enliven a potentially dry subject. Also called 'whole math,' 'situated math' and 'authentic math,' the approach connects children's informal math understandingof objects and peoples ages, for examplewith abstract math concepts.
