Mathematics and Statistics students at GVSU have many opportunities to become active within our department. We have a very active Mathematics and Statistics Club that is a recognized student MAA chapter and has undertaken many activities. For those seeking real challenge, try the Problem Solving group , or attend a departmental seminar Students within the department are also involved with faculty in undergraduate research projects. These include projects funded by the university's Summer Undergraduate Research Program, statistical consulting, and independent studies. GVSU is also a site for the NSF funded Research Experience for Undergraduates Finally, the department recognizes the outstanding academic achievement of its students through student awards, student scholarships, and our chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon. It is the feeling of faculty and students alike that these types of activities, which involve student/faculty interactions outside the classroom, contribute to the strong sense of community within the department.

Students Montana State University Communications Services MSU math student's prize means she's number one by MSU-Bozeman News Service Awarded by the Association for Women in Mathematics, Kirkpatrick shares the award with Melanie Wood, a student at Duke University. Both winners will receive their award in January at ceremonies to be held in San Diego. The award carries a $750 cash prize. This is the second major award in 2001 for Kirkpatrick, who received a prestigious Goldwater Scholarship for undergraduate students studying math and science last spring. Just 21, Kirkpatrick uses understatement and an infectious giggle as she describes her passions for rock climbing, classical piano and abstract mathematics. Kirkpatrick said when she came to MSU as a Presidential Scholar; she planned to study to become a brain surgeon. However, she said she failed miserably dissecting crickets' brains in her first MSU research project with the MSU Center for Computational Biology. Instead, she became fascinated with the Center's use of mathematical models to predict voltage traces in cricket ganglia. That, coupled with taking some "really cool" math classes, led to her deciding to become a mathematician, she said.

Search: News Releases NCTM in the News President's Messages Position Statements ... Past President How Are Your Math Students Doing? by Johnny W. Lott A President's Message "One of the unfortunate patterns in American response to educational innovation is a tendency to draw hard and fast battle lines between dichotomous positions" (Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences and National Advisory Committee on Mathematical Education 1975, p. 55). Unfortunately, this statement continues to be true today. Discussions involving change in mathematics education perpetually lead to "either/or" situations for educators. Often, those who cannot see value in using a new method or technology attempt to derail the practice and force teachers to use previous teaching methods. Two examples appeared in the news recently: "Computation skills are declining in today's youth, so we must rethink the curriculum" and "Calculator usage is destroying the ability of today's youths to compute." Both statements were printed as if true. Teachers then have to choose between either continuing the use of allegedly failing methods or returning to earlier practices. Let's consider the first statement in light of results from the first National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in 1973: "The development of computation skills has not been destroyed by our current mathematics curricula" (Carpenter et al. 1978, p. 54).

Search: News Releases NCTM in the News President's Messages Position Statements ... NCTM in the News Math Students' Use of Devices a Calculated Risk By Rebecca Catalanello ( St. Petersburg Times, November 23, 2003) Those who favor using the latest generation of graphing calculators say they allow students to move past the tedium of paper- and-pencil calculation into the depth and breadth of mathematical concepts. But others worry that the high-tech devices are crippling basic math comprehension. Since the 1970s, supporters have argued that they allow students to do difficult calculations without frustration, expanding math's appeal to even traditionally math-poor students. Opponents think calculators are crutches that allow students to glaze over important concepts, undermining a true understanding of math. The pro-calculator forces clearly have the upper hand. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has endorsed calculator use since 1974 and now says they are okay to use as early as prekindergarten. To read the full article, visit:

M eeting the Needs of Talented Elementary Math Students M. Katherine Gavin, Ph.D. Neag Center for Gifted Education and Talent Developme nt On the other hand, usually acceleration alone is not enough for highly gifted students. Moving a student to the next grade level often does not provide the advanced content that is rich in problem solving and that develops critical and creative thinking. Rather he/she is placed in an instructional environment meant for the general population. Once again, the pacing is often too slow. The second issue is the fact that many elementary teachers have not specialized in mathematics in their educational preparation and so their mathematical background is not strong. Although teachers recognize the need to provide more challenging mathematics for talented students, they do not know what this is or how to go about it. The third issue is the difficulty in finding appropriate curriculum materials that challenge students to think analytically and creatively and learn substantial mathematics. Although logic problems and math puzzles can be stimulating, they do not provide enough. Students need to think deeply about complex math concepts to be appropriately challenged. This requires units of instruction and projects that encourage students to delve into the mathematics over a period of time. Keeping these issues in mind and knowing that each district and, indeed, each student is unique, the following are some programming models used successfully by districts.

HELP! How can I challenge my talented math students and at the same time get them hooked on math? As the math specialist at the Neag Center for Gifted Education, this is a question I frequently hear from elementary teachers and gifted education specialists. As you probably are aware, there are several books of math problems, puzzles and mind benders on the market. But these fall short when in comes to challenging students to explore high level mathematics. What they really need is to delve into a math topic in depth and explore the Big Ideas in fun and creative ways.

TIMOTHY MATH STUDENTS SCORE SECOND STRAIGHT WIN The Trinity Math Triathlon may need to consider changing its name if Timothy Christian School continues to dominate the event. The Elmhurst, Illinois, grade school captured its second first-place trophy in two years on April 29, marking the fifth time in the Triathlon’s 11-year history that Timothy students have posted the highest cumulative score. Each April, the College’s math department welcomes 10-15 Christian grade schools from Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan to compete in a series of problem-solving challenges that demand sharp instincts and thorough teamwork. This year, 130 students from 12 schools, mostly seventh- and eighth-graders, took turns figuring exponentials, multiplying fractions, and determining proper divisors in individual, team, and relay contests. “I didn’t think so many kids enjoyed math this much,” said Sarah Smith, a seventh-grader at Timothy who participated in her first Triathlon. “It’s fun because we get to know people from different schools. I think I’d like to come back next year.” Math professors Sharon Robbert and Dave Klanderman received help from more than 25 Trinity students and registrar Ron Oosting, who contributed to his final Triathlon before retiring this summer. The event’s popularity spurred the math department to sponsor separate events in Iowa and Wisconsin in January. Robbert said it is very likely that the College will continue putting on three Triathlons each year, which will allow more schools and students to experience the fun.
