    http://www.nctm.org/news/pastpresident/2002-11president.htm
    
    Extractions: NCTM ... Past President by Johnny W. Lott A President's Message "One of the unfortunate patterns in American response to educational innovation is a tendency to draw hard and fast battle lines between dichotomous positions" (Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences and National Advisory Committee on Mathematical Education 1975, p. 55). Unfortunately, this statement continues to be true today. Discussions involving change in mathematics education perpetually lead to "either/or" situations for educators. Often, those who cannot see value in using a new method or technology attempt to derail the practice and force teachers to use previous teaching methods. Two examples appeared in the news recently: "Computation skills are declining in today's youth, so we must rethink the curriculum" and "Calculator usage is destroying the ability of today's youths to compute." Both statements were printed as if true. Teachers then have to choose between either continuing the use of allegedly failing methods or returning to earlier practices. Let's consider the first statement in light of results from the first National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in 1973: "The development of computation skills has not been destroyed by our current mathematics curricula" (Carpenter et al. 1978, p. 54).

    http://www.nctm.org/news/articles/2005_01nb_pisa.htm
    
    Extractions: The mathematics skills of U.S. 15-year-olds received lower scores on average than those of students in other participating countries in the 2003 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). Results released in December show Canadian students among the top performers in the study. In the United States, 5,456 students in 262 schools participated in the survey. Twenty- eight thousand students from 1,000 Canadian schools were included among the more than 250,000 students assessed worldwide. High school students in Finland, South Korea, the Netherlands, Japan, and Canada were ranked at the top in mathematics literacy. Fifteen-yearolds in the United States placed 24th out of 29 countries. In problem solving, students in 25 countries performed better than their U.S. counterparts. Canadian students were ranked 6th in problem solving. NCTM has advocated the idea that students who learn mathematics with understanding are better prepared to solve problems that they have not encountered previously but will face in real-life situations outside the classroom. The PISA results indicate the need for a stronger connection between problem solving and real-life situations.

    Extractions: Home Site TOC Site Search AFB Forum [Item from March 2001 JVIB] Susan Osterhaus, Chris Weaver, and Marie Amerson with Mary Ann Siller, project coordinator Since 1998, the AFB (American Foundation for the Blind) Textbooks and Instructional Materials Solutions Forum has sought to identify ways to ensure that students with visual impairments receive learning materials in accessible formats at the same time their peers receive the materials in print. Various AFB Solutions Forum stakeholders have been active in projects that help provide accessible textbooks for children with visual impairments and make life easier for their teachers. One important development to achieve this goal is the creation of braille conversion software that is designed to work with files from a print math editing program. The graphical nature of mathematical and scientific notation, along with special braille codessuch as Nemeth Code, the braille code for mathematicsneeded to represent complicated formulas, have presented unique problems in the delivery of accessible textbooks for mathematics and science instruction. Existing software that converts print mathematics into Nemeth Code requires mathematics to be written in a computer language that is unambiguous in its presentation of mathematical structures in order to correctly generate Nemeth Code. However, many computer languages that are used to represent mathematics provide only a recipe to draw the mathematics and do not provide explicit information on mathematical structure, which is vital information for the production of accurate Nemeth Code.

    Extractions: Three seniors in the math, science and computer science magnet program at Parkville High School are getting to experience college while still in high school via the Future Scholars Program at Johns Hopkins University. The program, which began in 2000, allows Maryland high school students to take college-level courses with undergraduates while still in high school. According to Jessika Wrabel, who runs the program at Hopkins, about 50 public and private high schools within driving distance of the Hopkins campus are asked to nominate 10 students for consideration every year. "We send them (the school's nominees) a test and take up to the 12 highest scores (of all the schools) and offer them admission into the program," she said. "Only about five or 10 schools participate each year." she said. "It's a shame." Parkville students Lindsey McCarthy, Jeremy Reed and Arpun Nagaraja met the standard and are taking a linear algebra class at Hopkins this fall. Two other students from other state high schools are also taking part in the program.

    Extractions: for Junior, Intermediate and Senior High Schools *NOTE SPECIAL OFFER AT END OF LETTER* *Please see the list of Top-Scoring Associated Schools at the end of this page* Dear Mathematics Department Chairperson: How do your most intuitive mathematics students compare to other math students throughout the country? Do you have a mathematics research class and do you enter the students' work in talent searches? Do the students compete in math leagues against other high schools, junior high or intermediate schools in your city? If you have a math team, or would like to start one, where would your faculty adviser get the many challenging and intriguing mathematics questions needed to sustain interest in such an advanced program? Our mathematics ENRICHMENT service, in the form of a contest, provides your students with an opportunity to COMPETE NATIONALLY with other high ability students across the country. Our panel of creative mathematicians who design each contest are educators in junior, intermediate, high schools and colleges, and are themselves faculty advisers for math research clubs or math teams. This ensures the production of contests and questions that are at once challenging and sensitive to the level of ability of contemporary secondary school students. CONTEST DESIGN In the Fall school term, each associated school will receive the same package of six sealed sets of questions similar to the samples on page 3. On given dates each month, the packages are opened and the test is administered to your designated group of math students. The adviser then scores each paper according to an enclosed answer sheet and mails the results of the 8 (eight) highest scoring students. The scores are then tabulated and the national results are mailed back within a short time.

    The MIT team finished second for the second consecutive year in the prestigious William Lowell Putnam intercollegiate mathematics competition.  
    http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2002/putnam-0515.html
    
    Extractions: May 15, 2002 Led by the stellar performance of freshman Reid W. Barton, the MIT team finished second for the second consecutive year in the prestigious William Lowell Putnam intercollegiate mathematics competition. Barton, who is from Arlington, finished in the top five, earning a Putnam Fellowship. Other members of the three-person MIT team were senior Abhinav Kumar of India and junior Pavlo M. Pylyavskyy of the Ukraine, both math majors. The MIT team members averaged 75 out of a possible 120. No one achieved a perfect score. "It's a hard test graded in a tough way," said Professor Hartley Rogers Jr., the team's co-coach. "That's quite a credible performance." The Department of Mathematics received $20,000 for the team's performance to support and promote activities within the department. Team members each received $800 and a medal, which were presented Thursday night by Rogers and Professor Richard P. Stanley, the other co-coach. Mathematics instructor Dan Stefanica-Nica aids in the coaching. The annual competition, inaugurated in 1938, traditionally takes place on the first Saturday in December. Students from universities in the United States and Canada tackle 12 problems worth 10 points apiece in two three-hour sessions. Prior to the competition, each university designates three participants as members of its team.
