  • Math certainly is incomprehensible to many students, but from where I sit, poor teaching is often the reason. Math education is failing many of our students.
  • I have the utmost respect for people with math degrees who choose to teach in spite of the poor pay and discipline problems, but few people make that choice.
  • What if medical schools know that calculus is not needed in a doctor’s day-to-day practice, but that the skills she learns when taking it, including perseverance in the face of a difficult subject, make her better at understanding and responding to the flood of information she encounters in her work?

  • but because their mathematics degrees indicate experience and acuity at problem solving.
  • like it or not, algebra is one of the first places students start to learn these problem solving skills.
  • Those who have a grasp of mathematics will have many career paths open to them that will be closed to those who have avoided it.
  • Math education needs to improve, but if illiteracy were on the rise, I don’t think we’d be talking about eliminating reading from the curriculum.

    Intriguing response to an article questioning the purpose of current mathematics curriculum  in k-12 education. The author points out the problem solving and perseverance skills and more gained from mathematics.

  • For high-school math, inborn talent is much less important than hard work, preparation, and self-confidence.
  • Thus, people’s belief that math ability can’t change becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
  • researchers at Oklahoma City who recently found that belief in inborn math ability may be responsible for much of the gender gap in mathematics.

  • In contrast to the most common math programs in the United States, Singapore math devotes more time to fewer topics, to ensure that children master the material through detailed instruction, questions, problem solving, and visual and hands-on aids like blocks, cards and bar charts.

      I like this idea and can see many teachers identifying the importance of students fully understanding topics in order to move on. However, without fully adopting this math program, it seems school curriculum is often so structured on an upbeat pace that would make this style of learning difficult to commit to in the secondary levels..?

      Link to website that contains mostly resources for purchase to guide you through SingaporeMath style as school/parent.
  • But school officials caution that Singapore math is not easy or cheap to successfully adopt.

      seems that teachers are able to benefit from it and gain a stronger understanding of topics along with the students
  • Ideally, they do not move on until they have thoroughly learned a topic.

  • “It allows us to extend the classroom beyond these four walls,” said Larry Reiff, an English teacher at Roslyn who now posts all his course materials online.
  • “I think this could very well be the biggest thing to hit school technology since the overhead projector,” Mr. Wolfe said.
  • many of the districts are paying for their iPads through federal and other grants, including money from the federal Race to the Top competitive grant program

  • Daniel Brenner, the Roslyn superintendent, said the iPads would also save money in the long run by reducing printing and textbook costs; the estimated savings in the two iPad classes are $7,200 a year.

  • The work could lead to educational tools that identify errors in students' reasoning or evaluate the difficulty of word problems, researchers said.
  • To teach the system how to perform that mapping, and to produce the equation templates, the researchers used machine learning.
  • In a series of experiments, the researchers would randomly select 400 of the 500 problems, use those to train their system, and then test it on the remaining 100.

    Interesting development from MIT working to create a computer program that can solve any word problem based off of learning the parts of the problem and trends from common formats.
