Patrick Bahls in The WAC Journal, Vol 20, Nov 2009. Bahls, a professor at UNC-Asheville, writes of the success he's had with a poetry assignment for his pre-calc and calculus students. He cites that much of one's success with math (especially advanced math) comes from confidence and finds the "language" of math to be both cumbersome and outdated for most students. The examples of student poetry (and their reactions to the assignment) are also provided as evidence.

This is a really interesting article, and the poetry is both thoughtful and creative. I wonder what both math and writing faculty think of this idea. Has anyone tried something similar in their classrooms? Great cites (and nice poem) on math anxiety. -- Stephanie

Conrad Wolfram presentation on TED.com (filmed July 2010; posted Nov 2010). Wolfram argues that math applications are all around us, and that people in a ever-wider variety of workplaces are excited about math...but students are not. Wolfram argues that bringing computers into the math classroom would help improve math's relevancy -- and build excitement as well. Use the tag wolfram to look at his "knowledge engine," Wolfram Alpha.

by David Bornstein, Opinionator commentary, New York Times, April 19, 2011. Author discusses a successful new elementary school level math curriculum, Jump Math, in use in Canada and England. The founder of Jump Math, John Mighton, believes the key is in teachers working with students to break math problems down into steps, that can be further broken down. When students are successful at mastering a step they have the confidence to go on.

By Kristen Amundson, Op/Ed, The Washington Post, May 27 2011. Amundson argues that the state of Virginia is doing itself a disservice by allowing high school students to graduate with a "standard diploma." The diploma requires only three years of math, leaving many students unprepared for college math and thus required to enroll in developmental math.

The article, Exponential Attrition and the Promise of Acceleration, June 2010, argues that attrition can be guaranteed in long developmental sequences and presents evidence that one semester, open-access courses are a way to increase student completion rates in college-level English and math.
