43. Sighted Math Teacher Needs To Learn Nemeth Code For Algebra II We are looking at having the opportunity to teach a standard algebra II class to a For assistance with specific teaching strategies for algebra II, http://www.tsbvi.edu/math/nemeth-sighted.htm

Home Site TOC Site Search Math Sighted Math Teacher Needs to Learn Nemeth Code for Algebra II A principal at a school for the blind asks: We are looking at having the opportunity to teach a standard Algebra II class to a student who is blind, with a teacher who is sighted, but who does not have a working knowledge of the Nemeth code. Have you had staff who are sighted teach/work with a similar class without Nemeth code knowledge for a student who is blind? If so, how did you work with the complexities? What resources would you suggest we look into regarding having some of our staff go to for gaining Nemeth Code skills? Classes...taught by who, where, how much? Susan replies: When I was first hired at TSBVI, I was certified to teach secondary mathematics, had a bachelor's degree in mathematics, and a master's in mathematics education. I had no VI background, and I didn't even know literary braille, much less Nemeth code. I enrolled immediately in the VI program at UT (no longer in existence), but my first year was quite an experience. I had my print math book on one side of my desk, and the braille volume on the other. I played the match game, and my students and I somehow survived. Teaching secondary mathematics to a blind student requires a great deal more than Nemeth code, especially these days. Unfortunately, there was no course at the university on teaching mathematics to the visually impaired; in fact there didn't seem to be very many resources anywhere on the subject. There was no such thing as a web site. Over the years, I discovered and tested many wonderful manipulatives, tools, and technology which enhanced my students' learning and allowed them to do higher and higher mathematics independently. These days I spend a great deal of my time trying to be that missing resource for questions on how to teach mathematics to visually impaired students.

Search MAA Online MAA Home Read This! The MAA Online book review column Resources for Teaching Linear Algebra Edited by David Carlson, Charles R. Johnson, David Lay, Duane Porter, Ann Watkins, and William Watkins Reviewed by Rebecca Berg The articles in this collection discuss both the content of linear algebra courses and approaches to teaching such courses. The authors address elementary topics, such as row reduction, and more advanced topics, such as sparse matrices, iterative methods and pseudo-inverses. There are agreements: "Only under torture would I tell a student about Kramer's rule..."(Almon); "As an example of how familiarity with determinants can rot your brain...." (Axler). There are, of course, also areas of disagreement, as when Dubinsky disagrees with the LACSG recommendations. There are well-known applications, such as Markov chains, and some not-so-well-known applications, such as Fisher's theorem on complete bipartite subgraphs (bicliques). There are articles from the users of matrix algebra: computer graphics, computer science and others. The articles together constitute a thoughtful, well-written, challenging and often entertaining discussion of this important area of mathematics. PART I, "The Role of Linear Algebra," is a perfect way to begin this book. Alan Tucker gives a nice survey of the history of linear algebra with many historical notes on people such as Leibniz, (Wilhelm) Jordan, Babbage, von Neumann and Turing. He emphasizes the importance of linear algebra for its applicability and its role in computation. He discusses the pedagogical importance of linear algebra as a "very accessible geometrically based theory whose study serves as preparation to more abstract upper-division courses." (p.10). He also gives a nice overview of the history of the linear algebra course in the undergraduate curriculum.

51. Review: Key Stage 3 Developing Numeracy: Algebra - Association Of Teachers Of Ma Although many teachers may have better ideas on how teach algebra themselves, it is a resource worth having a look at. Key Stage 3 Developing Numeracy http://www.atm.org.uk/reviews/books/ks3developnumeracy.html

Review: Key Stage 3 Developing Numeracy: Algebra There are two reviews: Key Stage 3 Developing Numeracy: Algebra - Hilary Koll and Steve Mills Key Stage 3 Developing Numeracy is a series of photocopiable activity books which provide complete coverage of the teaching objectives of the Framework for teaching mathematics. There are three books in the series - one for each year group. Each of these books contains around 50 photocopiable worksheets, and solutions, and a brief note to teachers. The pages are laid out in an attractive style with a good use of different font styles and illustrations. The pages have a teaching point as a footnote. The worksheets are surprisingly challenging. As a teacher in a grammar school I expected that our Y9 would find the Y9 worksheets too easy, but there were many sheets which presented a pleasing challenge for our students. The Y7 book has worksheets covering basic algebraic concepts, equations, substitution, linear sequences, functions and graphs. Each sheet is very easy to follow and has sufficient questions to take students 20 to 30 minutes - an ideal middle part of a lesson. By the end of the Y9 book students are facing questions relating to quadratic sequences, inverse of linear functions, expanding brackets and even some distance-time graphs.

Algebra for All in Eighth Grade: What's the Rush? Lynn Arthur Steen, St. Olaf College Appeared in Middle Matters, the newsletter of the National Association of Elementary School Principals, Vol 8, No. 1, Fall 1999, pp. 1, 6-7. St. Olaf College My Home Page Other Papers Not so long ago, high school algebra served as an effective filter to separate college-bound students from their work-bound classmates. Then advocates for educational standards began demanding "algebra for all," a significant challenge for a nation accustomed to the notion that only some could learn algebra well. More recently, notably in Californiathe center for start-up educational movementsthis demand escalated to "algebra in eighth grade for all" or what one skeptic described as "algebra before acne." Is algebraespecially early algebrareally that important for all students? How can a subject that for many adults serves as a metaphor for frustration suddenly be the top priority for soccer moms and internet dads? And why do so many parents suddenly demand of their schools and their children something they themselves neither mastered nor loved? One answer is that algebra is, in Robert Moses' apt phrase, "the new civil right" (Moses, 1995). Algebra means access. It unlocks doors to productive careers and democratizes access to big ideas. As an alternative to dead-end courses in general and commercial mathematics, algebra serves as an invaluable engine of equity. The notion that by identifying relationships we can discover things that are unknown"that we can find out what

Theory and Practice of Teaching Algebra: Syllabus Home Text The textbook for the course is Algebra by I. M. Gelfand and A. Shen, ISBN # 0-8176-3677-3. This is a terrific text by superior mathematicians, with excellent exposition and nice applications. We will use it primarily to supplement the lectures, and in general, the homework will be based more on the classroom discussion. Everyone should also have at least one developmental algebra textbook for reference. This can be a textbook that you have used in your own classroom, or you can use the text by Bill E. Jordan and William P. Palow. Homework Homework will be assigned daily and will be due at the start of the next class. Problems will come in four distinct flavors: computational, exploratory, theoretical, and discussion, each with a different purpose. Computational exercises are meant to strengthen fundamental understanding. Exploratory problems are meant to engage creativity to solve open-ended problems. Theoretical problems address the underpinnings of computations and techniques. Discussions will focus on how students learn the subject matter and what techniques are most likely to be useful in the classroom. Homework will be corrected and returned at the next session.

Email Me Admin Password Remember Me 330681 Curiosities served 2005-07-05 9:05 AM Why Do We Teach Algebra Anyway? Previous Entry Next Entry Read/Post Comments (3) Kevin Drum is talking about algebra. He's framing the current struggle over gradeschool curricula this way: The basic outline is pretty simple: reformers, led by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), wanted to put more emphasis on "discovering" math and real-world problem solving , while traditionalists wanted to keep the emphasis squarely on computation skills and "basics." And a lot of the debate is swirling around a book by Addison-Wesley informally dubbed "Rainforest Algebra" because it has a great deal of multicultural readings and sociological and environmental tie-ins along with the algebra problems. It was up for approval in Arizona and apparently is up for review in Texas now. Now I taught high school algebra for 2 years in Texas. I don't remember the names or publishers of the textbooks we used, but they were pretty standard fare. Early chapters dealt with the concepts of variables and coefficients. Then they learned how to perform arithmetic functions they already knew (addition, multiplication) to terms with variables. This scaled up in a logical way to more complicated problems involving similar concepts. Each chapter generally had a 1-3 page explanation of the concepts with sample problems stepped through. Then there would generally be 30-40 homework problems, with 5-7 word problems at the end. Answers to the odd-numbered problems were in the back of the book.

Fortunately, researchers have identified strategies and pedagogical practices teachers can employ to enhance student learning in these heterogeneous settings. They include: Having high expectations of all students Focusing instruction on developing meaning or understanding Building bridges between the various student cultures and the culture of the classroom Using contextual problems to help alleviate language barriers Using comprehensible communication to facilitate the learning of English and the learning of mathematics in tandem.
