Extractions: Marcella Ubben Candelaria This unit is designed primarily for 7th and 8th grade learning disabled students in a CBI (Community Based Instruction) program at a school with traditionally low math scores on standardized tests. The unit covers one semester, but with a different type of student population it could be taught in less time. The unit begins with basic number sense: counting, sequencing and number lines. The next concept is place value, using games and repetition to teach students that the place a number has is as important as the number itself. We will then learn about decimals using money. Next is an exploration of patterns in math and in the world around us, leading to the last item of geometry, where we will explore different shapes, their relation to each other, and begin a discussion of fractions. Analysis of Functions and Their Graphs as Models of Physical Phenomena: An Integrated Approach Using Maple6 William Glover This curriculum unit will focus on the use of deductive reasoning in the form of "if-then" statements and proofs. The unit will be presented during the second week of the first semester, and the methods will be applied for the duration of the course. The lesson plans for the unit will focus on deductive reasoning. The objectives of the unit include teaching students to:

Teaching Guide The concepts and activities are simple enough so that students may do them Golden Ratio a special number that appears in many places in nature, art, http://cuip.uchicago.edu/~dlnarain/golden/tgmain.htm
Extractions: for Introduction Welcome to the curriculum web Teaching Guide for Mr. Narain's Golden Ratio page. This page is meant to help teachers understand the intent of the curriculum web in order to better implement it in the classroom. Please read on to find out more. Aim The Golden Ratio page is intended to arouse students' interest in Geometry by showing them some interesting applications and by uncovering the Geometry inherent in nature. This website is a basic introduction to the meaning of the Golden Ratio and is intended to help students discover how and where it appears in real life. In doing so, they will begin asking (and answering) the basic questions of who, what, when, where, and why, with regard to math concepts. Hopefully they will see that math is not something that is created by man but rather discovered to be as old as time. Rationale Students need to understand how Geometry is used in the real world, but at the same time they must realize that math holds certain universal truths. In this manner, students must understand that the mathematics they are learning has not been "invented" but rather discovered. Also, understanding where the math we learn in the classroom comes from is important - students should learn who discovered the concepts and when, and also realize that certain universal truths have been discovered in different places and at different times. Finally, students need to understand that mathematics is connected to all subject areas and is present in the world surrounding us.

Extractions: President Clinton's education agenda calls for all American students to be competent in algebra by the end of the eighth grade. This can only be accomplished if algebraic concepts are introduced and developed throughout the grades, beginning in kindergarten. Whom do we see? What happens in the videoclips? We will see students from kindergarten through eigth grade using variables, studying relationships, exploring multiple representations, and making generalizations, all of which are at the heart of algebra. What issues does this workshop address? Algebra is not the meaningless abstraction nor the symbolic manipulation that math leaders are pushing to incorporate into the early curricula. Nor is it what we studied it in high school. What, then, constitues algebra in the primary and middle grades? The answer to this question is the main issue of this workshop. What teaching strategy does this workshop offer?
