Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n About teaching mathematics: K-8 (ENC-008504) The goal of this book is to help educators implement mathematics instruction that develops students who feel mathematically secure, use numbers confidently to come to decisions, understand mathematical principles, and can apply their understanding to problem solving situations. The three parts of the book address basic math education topics, 200 classroom problem solving activities, and the changing nature of mathematics instruction. Family math (ENC-000589) This book contains activities from the Family Math program; the program focuses on parents and children learning mathematics together. Activities involve experimenting, discovering, mathematical reasoning, and problem solving. Many activities develop understanding with hands-on materials. Topics include arithmetic, geometry, probability, statistics, measurement, logic, estimation, calculators, computers, careers, and recognition of patterns and relationships. The book contains ideas for creating an environment that makes mathematics seem attractive and interesting for children and includes ideas for parents to consider as they do mathematics at home. Math problem-solving brain teasers: challenging (ENC-012870) This book contains problems designed to allow the student to see the practicality and fun of mathematics. Problems include investigating angles in billiard table geometry, finding numerical palindromes, and using Origami to demonstrate geometric theorems. Included for each activity are teacher notes that contain information helpful to students' understanding of the activity and solutions to all problems.

It's a great place for practicing measurement, estimation, and quantity. Since trips to the store usually affect everyone in the family, the following activities include various levels of difficulty within the activity. Allowing your children to participate in weighing, counting, and figuring price per unit versus price per pound will help improve their ability to estimate and predict amounts with accuracy.

Seifert Surfaces Observing what happens when knots are turned into bubble-makers takes the study of knots in a surprising direction. Are They the Sameor Knot? Determining whether two knots are the same or different is one of the central issues in knot theory . Students make puzzles for one another that explore this. Knot Arithmetic Students experiment with ways that two or more knots can be combined to make a single one. Building Block Knots Can complex knots be described in terms of more simple ones? Students try to find ways to figure out how to do this. Knots in the World What is the relationship between mathematical knots and the knots that are used to tie and fasten things in the real world? Braids and Links Braided rope and knots that are fastened together like the links of a chain also find their way into the study of mathematical knots

Extractions: By Russell Smith A few months ago, I began looking at the latest and greatest math software from Davidson, Sunburst, Edmark, and other companies. I tested hosts of math programs and got thoughtful input from students and educators in the 43 school districts I serve as an educational technology consultant. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of programs available both for little kids and for older students. A few programs stand head and shoulders above the rest. Most are cross-platform, and the prices vary widelysometimes for the very same program. Individual software programs can be quite expensive, but lab packs and site licenses can make per-unit prices drop dramatically. My advice: Take advantage of the 30-day preview copies offered by most companies. (Phone numbers and Internet addresses are provided in the list below.) There's usually no obligation to buy, even though you might have to fill out a purchase order for the companies' records. Use the 30 days to let your teachers examine the programs and discuss the pricing schemes so you get the best buys on the best products. And what are the best products? Here are the math software programs I recommend for students in primary, intermediate, and secondary schools:
Mountain Environments Homepage Visualization Investigations Students use spatial analysis skills to solve real world problems. Assessment Items for Mountain Environment activities. http://www.math.montana.edu/~nmp/materials/ess/mountain_environments/
Extractions: Overview of Lessons and Investigations Learners will explore on-line resources that provide current mountain environment information. The emphasis of these inquiry-based activities is on using information to investigate scientific questions, creating models, and making predictions. Many of these hands-on activities require learners to record electronic information over several days, share data with learners at remote locations, and conduct analysis using image processing technology. Activites have clearly defined learning outcomes and are segregated into four levels: novice, intermediate, advanced, and expert. These levels are more closely aligned with computer experience than cognitive levels. For a preview, a Quick Tour of the activities has been created. There are also on-line resources tools , and background materials available. Novice Level Activities School Biome Detectives: Classroom Mountain Biome - Students monitor their classroom as an ecological biome. Creating a Contour Map of Your School Playground - Students create a contour map of part of their school playground.

Extractions: COCC Home Contact Us Calendar Site Map ... My Login Math 86 Mathematics Home Math Activities Math Links Department Faculty ... Math Objectives Course Description Mth 86 is an introductory course and the second term in a two-term sequence in Technical Mathematics. Mth 86 will introduce/develop basic trigonometric relationships and apply those to (level-appropriate) real-world problems. More specifically, Mth 86 is designed: (1) to expand/extend the relationships of triangles to more complicated geometries, (2) to develop and practice the basic concepts of trigonometry (3) to develop a wide variety of trigonometric properties and relationships and (4) to develop relationships between verbal, numeric, algebraic and geometric problems. Quadratic, polynomial, rational and exponential functions will be studied. The symbolic, numerical, and graphical representations of the mathematical concept of a function will be expanded and explored. Emphasis will be on solving applied, real-world problems by understanding their connection to functions. Technical writing is a significant component of student work Mth 86 has the competencies from Mth 85: Technical Mathematics I as prerequisites; no prior knowledge of trigonometry is assumed, and the course is not college-transferable.

Math Objectives Course Description : The goal of Mth 212 is to provide a broad mathematical background to prospective teachers of elementary school mathematics; to instill in the student a positive attitude and understanding of mathematics which can be passed on to the students in the elementary classroom; to introduce the student to the uses of appropriate technology and manipulatives and their role in the teaching and learning of mathematics in the elementary school; to strengthen general problem solving skills and provide students with extensive practice using a variety of problem solving strategies. . An equally important goal is to model teaching methods appropriate to the elementary and middle school classroom. Topics for Mth 212 include ratio and proportion, percent, integers, rational and real numbers, statistics and probability. Group activities and projects, writing assignments, and hands on work with manipulatives are critical components of this course. Mth 212 has the competencies from Mth 95: Intermediate Algebra and Mth 211 as prerequisites; the course is college-transferable.
