Extractions: Spring 1996 According to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM; 1991), learning environments should be created that promote active learning and teaching; classroom discourse; and individual, small-group, and whole-group learning. Cooperative learning is one example of an instructional arrangement that can be used to foster active student learning, which is an important dimension of mathematics learning and highly endorsed by math educators and researchers. Students can be given tasks to discuss, problem solve, and accomplish. Cooperative learning activities can be used to supplement textbook instruction by providing students with opportunities to practice newly introduced or to review skills and concepts. Teachers can use cooperative learning activities to help students make connections between the concrete and abstract level of instruction through peer interactions and carefully designed activities. Finally, cooperative learning can be used to promote classroom discourse and oral language development. Wiig and Semel (1984) described mathematics as "conceptually dense." That is, students must understand the language and symbols of mathematics because contextual clues, like those found in reading, are lacking in mathematics. For example, math vocabulary (e.g., greater-than, denominator, equivalent) and mathematical symbols (e.g., =, <, or >) must be understood to work problems as there are no contextual clues to aid understanding. In a cooperative learning activity, vocabulary and symbolic understanding can be facilitated with peer interactions and modeling.

http://www.math.nyu.edu/student_resources/studentforum.php

Extractions: Each year, typically in November or December, the Courant Institute holds a discussion style forum where the concerns, suggestions, and compliments of students are brought up in an organized, anonymous fashion. Attendance is relatively wide (by faculty, staff, and students), and this gives the meeting a somewhat democratic flavor. Courant's administration takes this forum very seriously and students should use the opportunity to improve student life here, as well as to recognize improvements made in the past. Among recent topics have been issues regarding curriculum design, examinations (including foreign language exams), computing, teaching assignments, mentoring, and office atmosphere. Past successes have included the switch to 24-hour building access, changes in the policies regarding the Written Exams, and some curriculum improvements. The forum is a work in progress but also an excellent way to let administrators know what's going on with student life at CIMS. The forum is organized every year by Tamar and a student volunteer. Together they work in advance to prepare an agenda of topics that will be discussed. The student volunteer solicits ideas for the agenda from the rest of the student body. Students should feel free, and even compelled, to send in whatever they think should be included. As the date approaches more information about this will arrive in your e-mail.

MODULAR FORMS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
A summer school for students in number theory, algebra and algebraic geometry. Sophus Lie Conference Center, Nordfjordeid, Norway; 1620 August 2004.
http://www.math.uio.no/div/nordfjordeid/modular.html

Extractions: "Siegel modular forms and their applications" (Gerard van der Geer) The first of these will treat the classical one-variable theory and some of its many applications in number theory (representations of numbers by quadratic forms, irrationality and transcendence results, moments of periodic functions, ...), algebraic geometry (counting of coverings of curves), and mathematical physics (appearance of modular forms in percolation theory, string theory, etc.) The second, which has a more geometric flavor, will give an introduction to the theory of Hilbert modular forms in two variables (i.e., over real quadratic fields), the geometry of Hilbert modular surfaces, and to Borcherds products and the Borcherds lifting. The third will give an introduction to Siegel modular forms (both scalar- and vector-valued) and present a beautiful application to the theory of curves of finite fields (Harder's conjecture).

Builds Confidence and Attitude for Students at Home and School Experience Using the prototype, the first school student's test results went from 59 to 97% in only two weeks Since then MathsOwn has been developed significantly. Feedback "I like the test that when you hit pause you can not see (and therefore anticipate) the next questions. I like being able to choose the number of questions for each session. I believe the times tables come with practice and this software allows it - I've bought the usual blank books with the tables in them and photo copied pages out of them (the ones I paid for!) but this software does it all for me.
