49. College Classes They are part `howto-get-through-college advice and part editorial opinion. This posting is oriented towards math texts. About precision. http://www.math.usf.edu/~mccolm/pedagogy/Aclasses.html

Taking a college course requires study skills ... and some other skills as well. This website contains pages on how to succeed in and benefit from college courses, from homework and exams to how to evaluate grades and what you should get from courses. Taking College Courses While the central audience for these pages are students taking precalculus and calculus, they are intended for students at all levels, including high school and graduate school. Each semester I teach two courses. I have discovered that many students coming into college - or even worse, already in college - do not know how to deal with courses. I have posted a few articles about how courses work and what they are good for and all that sort of thing. They are part `how-to-get-through-college' advice and part editorial opinion. I will be posting more of this kind of stuff in the future, and also revising the postings here, so I am interested in any comments, advice, criticism, etc.: you may mail to me main page . This will simply give concise advice. Then there will be a longer explanatory essay. The newer sections - at the moment, just the homework section - there is a single introductory page (printable in less than two pages) leading to some additional pages.

UCB Parents Advice about School Advice and recommendations from the UCB Parents mailing list. This page is brought to you by UC Berkeley Parents Network Back to: See also: Advice about Math at Berkeley High School May 2001 My daughter is doing very well in 6th grade math and would like to move on to algebra rather than taking 7th grade math next year. Have other parents had this experience? How did it work out? I'm not sure I understand your question. But if your child is being offered honors algebra as opposed to regular algebra, I'd look at it closely. Secondhand observation of one friend of my child's showed that it was very hard. If it's a choice between pre-algebra and algebra, and your child's teacher feels comfortable with that, that course seemed appropriate for my child who had to work hard but not too hard. Also, drop a line to Neil Smith and ask him for a name of a 7th grade math teacher to talk to. He's very responsive. My student has Ms. Mukerjee (sp?) who is very enthusiastic. You might want to talk to her. I am a ninth grader at Berkeley High. I skipped up to Algebra in seventh grade. It was difficult to be in a class where I was the youngest, but once I was used to it, I did OK in the class, although sometimes it was a struggle. I would recommend Algebra if your child is good at picking up new concepts very quickly and doesn't have social issues about being in a class with all eighth graders.

UCB Parents Advice about School Math in School Advice and recommendations from the UCB Parents mailing list. This page is brought to you by UC Berkeley Parents Network Back to: Times Tables when? From: Carol (3/98) At what age do kids learn their times tables these days? Or maybe I should ask, at what age should they know them? I know some kids in 5th and 6th grade who have been taught to count on their fingers, and that's where they're still at. I'm shocked, but maybe for no good reason? From: Dianna (3/98) Re: Times tables - my son is in the 3rd grade at LeConte Elementary here in Berkeley and he is learning multiplication, although they do not seem to be learning the times tables per se. I distinctly remember learning them myself in the 4th grade. I'm toying with the idea of teaching him the times tables this summer, as a fun thing to do in the car. Chanting the times tables is almost the same as chanting a poem, to me. From: Susan (3/98) At school my daughter learned the times tables (through ten) in third grade. At the beginning of fourth grade they reviewed the times tables and extended them through 12. (It's possible they began the process during second grade, but I don't remember.) From: Barbara (3/98) Our kids were drilled in facts (+,-,x, division) in 4th grade. They had 1 page sheets of each type which they kept testing themselves on to get their time down (and kept graphs of their progress.)

52. Advice To Okemos Parents For parents who are interested in the best math education Okemos currently has to offer for Sixth graders skip 6th grade CMP to take 7th grade math http://www.nscl.msu.edu/~tsang/CMP/advice.htm

For parents who are interested in the best math education Okemos currently has to offer for college bound students. The key is to minimize the amount of CMP materials you child will be exposed to: Sixth graders skip 6th grade CMP to take 7th grade math a. If you child can pass the test given at the end of the school year. b. Even if you child cannot pass, waive the child into the 7th grade math. c. In 1998-1999 school year, 13 out of 15 students in a math class did not pass the qualified test. They all did well in the 7th grade math class. Don't be intimated by teachers or principals who say your child is not ready. Instead believe in your child and make sure your child do some math such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions in the summer. Seventh graders take the 8th grade honors math class a. If your child can pass the test given at the end of the school year or b. sign a waiver form and waive the child into the honors 8th grade math. c. The experience of parents said the child needs to work hard in the beginning of the school term

GO TO Mathematics and Statistics Home Page ADVICE from STUDENTS: Math 110 (College Algebra) Summer 2004 Study and come to class. Stay on top of it and do a little each night. Come to class and do the assigned problems. Stay in class the full time and you will pass. Also don't skip. Go to the MRC before each exam. Just pay attention in class and take good notes. Go above and beyond what the teacher assigns for homework. This was my saving grace. Don't procrastinate. Don't be scared to work ahead and look back. Study, ask questions, and show up. Don't get in over your head before seeking help. The MRC helped a lot. Do the homework and exercises even if they are not assigned. It helps if you know what to ask questions about. Start off with a bang because it is hard to bring a bad grade up.

Learn more about newsletters from Monster Advertisement Retail Math by Valerie Lipow Monster Contributing Writer document.domain="monster.com"; var ad24=false; Look at retail job postings. A good percentage of them mention retail math skills as a requirement. So what is retail math, and why is it so important in qualifying for a retail opening? It's Not Rocket Science Math is used at every level of retailing, from the part-time sales clerk to the executive suite. At its simplest, retail math is basic arithmetic, such as counting money and making change. Computing the total amount of a sales transaction also involves calculating percentages to determine discounts, sales tax and shipping charges. Depending on the type of merchandise, a sales associate may need to determine costs by measurement like length or weight or by unit price. More complex retail tasks require more advanced retail math skills. And the higher up in retailing you go, the more math skills you need. Be Friendly with Numbers Retailers forecast income and evaluate expenses on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual basis. Obtaining, analyzing and reporting accurate financial information is performed by sales associates, stock clerks, store managers, inventory specialists, buyers, planners, marketing specialists, financial analysts and executives.

Langara College - Department of Mathematics and Statistics Some General Advice How to Choose a Course Once You Are in the Course ONCE YOU ARE IN THE COURSE: (1) Keep up with your assignments. The best way to learn Math is to do as many problems as you can. In Stats, be sure to practice your explanations and interpretations. (2) Spend about two hours on homework for each class hour. (3) Buy a textbook. Substitutes don't work. The dollar saving isn't worth it. (4) Assume your responsibilities. It is up to you to keep up, to fill in background material, to attend classes regularly, to fill in missed material if you are forced to skip a class, to turn in assignments on due dates, to review for tests, to present yourself for tests and for the final examination. You should not automatically expect your instructor to make exceptions for you. (5) Get help when you need it. If you are making a sincere effort, instructors in the Math Activity Centre (located in the library, room L403) and your instructor in his or her office hours will be happy to assist you. You will get the best benefit if you are very specific about your difficulties; it makes it easier to help you and shows that you have tried to work it out yourself. (6) Do the best you possibly can on the final exam.

60. Math At Lafayette: Advice For Math Majors Below we try to offer some advice appropriate to math majors with various interests. Get in touch with your friendly neighborhood math prof for more http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~math/program/advice.html

Advice for Mathematics Majors People who study mathematics in college can choose from a broad range of valuable careers. In recent years some math majors from Lafayette have started working in actuarial science, business, finance, management, and secondary education, among other fields. Other students have gone on to post-graduate programs in business, computer science, dentistry, education, engineering, law, mathematics and medicine. www.ams.org/careers/ www.amstat.org/careers/ www.beanactuary.org/ www.maa.org/careers/ ... www.msri.org/ext/CareersInMathematics.html Below we try to offer some advice appropriate to math majors with various interests. Get in touch with your friendly neighborhood math prof for more information! Students interested in graduate work in applied or pure mathematics are strongly encouraged to study mathematics beyond the minimal major requirements. Such students should seriously consider studying Abstract Algebra II, Advanced Multivariable Calculus, Complex Analysis and Ordinary Differential Equations; these courses add breadth to the undergraduate program and present topics that are required by many graduate schools. Other 300-level classes are certainly valuable too; students should choose electives according to their interests. Independent study, research and honors projects, and graduate courses at universities provide opportunities to find out what it "feels like" to be a graduate student. Students in the Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Economics program should carefully plan their programs to serve their interests. In particular, the capstone experience requirement may be fulfilled in several ways, including appropriate independent study or honors work. Economics 313 (Forecasting for Business and Economics) and 324 (Options and Futures) have both been approved as satisfying the capstone requirement; the Economics and Business department will allow joint Mathematics/Economics majors to take these courses at the same time as their prerequisites (Economics 365 and 321, respectively). Mathematics 301 (Case Studies in Mathematical Modeling) may also be taken for the capstone, and students interested in graduate school in Economics are encouraged to take Mathematics 356 (Real Analysis) for the capstone.
