Radical Math Advice
A friend on AOL's Christianity Online's Unschooling message board responded to a question of how one might unschool math, and what texts or resources can be used.
I enjoyed her reply so much that I asked her permission to use her post. Well, we're having wonderful math days here in our house, so I felt inclined to post about my view point concerning math resources. Now, lots of you have had your chance to post about your favorite math texts, can I take a turn to add some radical suggestions?
Here are some resources that my kids are currently working with:
Mathlab by TOPS. I'd suggest this for ages 12 and up. It has activities that you would find in Math: A Human Endeavor, just addresses them in project format. I'm looking forward to doing the last card in the book - it's all about how to decipher those postal bar codes.
How Math Works by Reader's Digest. I know I've mentioned this book before, but I just love it! My son and I are making projects from this book every morning.
I found a workbook on math last week at Barnes and Noble. The company that published it is American Education Publishing. Half of it is math, the other half is reading skills. We've just worked in the math section so far, but my son really likes this book. The odd numbered pages seem to be puzzle/code/workbook type pages, the even pages are hands-on activities and games to make and play to reinforce the skills on the previous page. Yesterday we made cards and played a concentration type game to match improper fractions with mixed numbers. Today's game used equivalent fraction conversion skills. My son has been reluctant to learn these concepts in the Key to books, but he quickly grasped what he needed to do to play these games! I was surprised at how much he likes this book. The title is Enrichment Math and Reading, we have the grades 5/6 book. It was only $12.95.

Hi and Welcome to
MATH IN A BOX
by Susan O. Johnsey
State Certified teacher for 30+ years
Master of Science degree in Mathematics
Teaching math is an everyday occurrence for me. It is also my gifting. I have always enjoyed learning math and have discovered that I also enjoy teaching math. I teach all ages, all abilities and many areas of math. I have taught in regular classrooms, in remedial math labs, at a learning center for the “difficult to teach”, in my home one-on-one, for high schoolers, for elementary schoolers, for middle schoolers, for first and second year college students, for home school moms and for preschool moms. I have my own ideas of what to teach preschoolers to prepare them for school, that is for math in school. Many books have been written for reading, but few for math.
Children need to be taught the logic and reason of our numbers, the patterns of numbers. They need manipulatives that illustrate this for them, not bears or bean counters.
Math in a Box is an actual box of manipultives that teaches place value, adding and writing numerals in one lesson! The manipulatives build understanding of our number system. Too many children after the third or fourth grade become overwhelmed with all the memorizing that is required of them. They do not understand our number system.
Math in a Box is also a method I use to teach Algebra and percentage word problems. Most people dislike word problems. Having a fixed method to begin a problem helps even the slow learner be successful with word problems!!

http://www.math.uga.edu/~curr/LowerDivision.html
GUIDE TO FRESHMAN and SOPHOMORE LEVEL MATHEMATICS COURSES AT UGA
Students should not consider themselves adequately prepared for a mathematics course unless they have earned grades of C or better in all prerequisite courses. The advice is broken down into the following sections:
  • For Non Science/Business Majors Precalculus Level Courses Calculus Options After Second Semester Calculus ... General Advice for Prospective Math Majors
  • Basic
    MATH 1101 (Mathematical Modeling): This course satisfies the Core A Mathematics requirement for students who will not continue to Precalculus and Calculus. Students will learn several ways to use mathematics to describe and explore real-world data and phenomena. WARNING: MATH 1101 will not prepare you for Precalculus, nor will it count in Core Area A if you are (or become) a Science major. If you think there is a chance you will be a Science major, you should take MATH 1113 instead.
    Precalculus Level
    MATH 1113 (Precalculus): This course is not intended to be a terminal mathematics course; it prepares students for the mainstream calculus courses. Exemption of or credit for MATH 1113 MATH 1060 (Mathematics of Decision Making): This course attempts to convey the flavor and variety of mathematics rather than develop skills to be used in later courses. It is usually taken by liberal arts majors. Occasionally, students who are considering majoring in mathematics use this course to get an overview of the subject.

    Math 5990: Topics in Teaching College Mathematics
    Advice from TAs who took this class
    • Be strict the first month of teaching you can start "cutting slack" when you know your students better.
    • Keep distance between you and your students, but try to be as warm as you can.
    • Maintain control. Don't try to be too friendly with students, but not too distant. Err on the side of distant.
    • Prepare well for class.
    • Go to see other teachers and try to learn from them.
    • If you use the blackboard think ahead what the blackboard should look like at the end of class.
    • Don't collect homework.

    Advice Needed - 10th grader Posted by Becky (206.214.88.230) on July 13, 2003 at 22:27:33: My dd is going to be in 10th grade. Math has always been a huge struggle for her. In her private school Abeka days, homework would take her 3 hours. We have recently been working through some of the Key to Algebra books after completing Key to Dec, %, and Fractions. Her self-esteem is back after 4 years of homeschool. She does think she would like to go to college, however and I was intending to start her in a full Algebra 1 course. I'm now having second thoughts. Her testing shows that she has forgotten a lot of the basics. I don't know whether to go on OR to spend another year going over the math that she will use everyday (fractions, dec, and %). I began having these feelings as I reviewed my 7th graders text for next year: Basic College Mathematics by Lial. My thoughts were... why am I moving on with my dd when she isn't firm in these basics and she may text into basics on a college placement test anyway? Any advice? Thanks! Follow Ups:

    Math Study Skills
    Active Study vs. Passive Study
    Be actively involved in managing the learning process, the mathematics and your study time:
    • Take responsibility for studying, recognizing what you do and don't know, and knowing how to get your Instructor to help you with what you don't know.
    • Attend class every day and take complete notes. Instructors formulate test questions based on material and examples covered in class as well as on those in the text.
    • Be an active participant in the classroom. Get ahead in the book; try to work some of the problems before they are covered in class. Anticipate what the Instructor's next step will be.
    • Ask questions in class! There are usually other students wanting to know the answers to the same questions you have.
    • Go to office hours and ask questions. The Instructor will be pleased to see that you are interested, and you will be actively helping yourself.
    • Good study habits throughout the semester make it easier to study for tests.
    Studying Math is Different from Studying Other Subjects
    • Math is learned by doing problems. Do the homework. The problems help you learn the formulas and techniques you do need to know, as well as improve your problem-solving prowess.

    PLEASE can I read one more lesson. He grasps the concepts fine, However
    makes enough careless mistakes on problem sets. I hand them back to him
    and he fixes careless mistakes. At this point I am letting him read two
    lessons a day, and do half a problem set and the next day the other
    half. The odd thing is, he does these problem sets so slowly, I have to
    walk by and remind him to get going. He then moves along just
    fine. While he is reading the new little lessons, he is excited and
    really likes it. Then he looks at these problem sets as a huge amount of
    work to do. Even cut in half, he goes slow and makes some careless
