Daily summary of the stories, articles, and resources for teaching K-12 science and math.

The Middle School Mathematics Institute (msmi 2010) will be held in Saint Paul, MN June 14 - June 18, 2010. This event is for teachers in grades 4 - 8. The institute is a 5 day course, where middle school teachers will learn the mathematics behind the math they teach. This year the subject is fractions, decimals, and percentages.

resources, tips and issues about math teaching and learning. it promotes teaching mathematics through problem solving.

Effective teaching is at the heart of science and math education. Good teachers of science and math create environments in which they and their students work together as active learners.

"The Middle School Stream aims to motivate and engage middle school students (grades 5 through 8) in STEM learning, 21st Century Literacy Skills and Systems Thinking by challenging them to design original video games. The High School Stream aims to motivate and engage high school students (grades 9 through 12) in STEM learning, 21st Century Literacy Skills and Systems Thinking by challenging them to design original video games. The Collegiate Stream challenges emerging game developers at the graduate and undergraduate levels to design video games for children (grades pre-K through 8) that teach key STEM concepts and foster an interest in STEM subject areas. The Educator Stream challenges educators to design video games for children (grades pre-K through 12) that teach key STEM concepts and foster an interest in STEM subject areas."

This unit gives a historical background to mathematics education in South Africa, to outcomes-based education and to the national curriculum statement for mathematics. The traditional approach to teaching mathematics is then contrasted with an approach to teaching mathematics that focuses on 'doing' mathematics, and mathematics as a science of pattern and order, in which learners actively explore mathematical ideas in a conducive classroom environment.

Abstract: "Australian pre-service teachers have to acquire layers of knowledge as school classrooms are multicultural in composition. To what extent does the experience of an overseas professional experience tour contribute to the development of pre-service teachers in meeting recognised professional teaching standards? This paper describes the perceptions of Australian preservice mathematics teachers who participated in educational and cultural activities during planned tours to Malaysia. The data set was collected through the use of questionnaires, interviews and focus group discussions."

Abstract :"The nation's remedial math programs are failing students. New, effective, and dramatic changes are required to reverse the trend. Acknowledging the plight of community college remedial math students, this white paper discusses critical variables in planning and implementing instruction. Absent of a consensus in the U.S. political landscape on how to effectively provide remedial mathematics instruction, the authors suggest instructional variables to support mathematics faculty, administrators, tutors and advising staff in changing the disheartening data and experience."

Vocabulary or terminology building is a difficult task for many students. A variety of teaching techniques and strategies are needed to help them develop a true understanding related to concepts.

"Most of these books are beginner level books, simply introducing the concept and terminology. However, there are a few at the end that are really great, and begin to introduce equivalent fractions and even discuss the numerator and denominator."

A crowdfunding project, "Every week for a year we'll create a short video exploring a unique application of math in everyday life."

Mathematics teachers disagreeing with the math teaching methods espoused by the Khan Academy, including words from a Stanford PhD candidate: ""When you attempt to distribute mathematics through any of these media [such as YouTube videos, digital photos, MP3s, PDFs, blog posts, spoken words, and printed text] it changes the definition of mathematics."

"this essay will focus on the implications of the design and implementation of games for teaching and learning mathematics via mobile devices as one specific means to address the gap in achievement in mathematics, and even more specifically, how it might further address the equity gap among minorities.
