GUIDE TO FRESHMAN and SOPHOMORE LEVEL MATHEMATICS COURSES AT UGA
Students should not consider themselves adequately prepared for a mathematics course unless they have earned grades of C or better in all prerequisite courses. The advice is broken down into the following sections:
  • For Non Science/Business Majors
  • Precalculus Level Courses
  • Calculus Options
  • After Second Semester Calculus ...
  • General Advice for Prospective Math Majors
    Basic
    MATH 1101 (Mathematical Modeling): This course satisfies the Core A Mathematics requirement for students who will not continue to Precalculus and Calculus. Students will learn several ways to use mathematics to describe and explore real-world data and phenomena. WARNING: MATH 1101 will not prepare you for Precalculus, nor will it count in Core Area A if you are (or become) a Science major. If you think there is a chance you will be a Science major, you should take MATH 1113 instead. MATH 1700 (Arithmetic and Problem Solving): This is the only mathematics course listing MATH 1101 as a prerequisite. It features problem solving and critical thinking involving mathematics particularly appropriate for elementary school teachers.
    Precalculus Level
    MATH 1113 (Precalculus): This course is not intended to be a terminal mathematics course; it prepares students for the mainstream calculus courses.

    Radical Math Advice
    A friend on AOL's Christianity Online's Unschooling message board responded to a question of how one might unschool math, and what texts or resources can be used.
    I enjoyed her reply so much that I asked her permission to use her post. Well, we're having wonderful math days here in our house, so I felt inclined to post about my view point concerning math resources. Now, lots of you have had your chance to post about your favorite math texts, can I take a turn to add some radical suggestions?
    Here are some resources that my kids are currently working with:
    Mathlab by TOPS. I'd suggest this for ages 12 and up. It has activities that you would find in Math: A Human Endeavor, just addresses them in project format. I'm looking forward to doing the last card in the book - it's all about how to decipher those postal bar codes.
    How Math Works by Reader's Digest. I know I've mentioned this book before, but I just love it! My son and I are making projects from this book every morning.
    I found a workbook on math last week at Barnes and Noble. The company that published it is American Education Publishing. Half of it is math, the other half is reading skills. We've just worked in the math section so far, but my son really likes this book. The odd numbered pages seem to be puzzle/code/workbook type pages, the even pages are hands-on activities and games to make and play to reinforce the skills on the previous page. Yesterday we made cards and played a concentration type game to match improper fractions with mixed numbers. Today's game used equivalent fraction conversion skills. My son has been reluctant to learn these concepts in the Key to books, but he quickly grasped what he needed to do to play these games! I was surprised at how much he likes this book. The title is Enrichment Math and Reading, we have the grades 5/6 book. It was only $12.95.

    Math Advice from Mrs. Krokum High School Home Academics Study Skills Classes Offered ... Student Thoughts The month of January is math month. Every month Mrs. Krokum will choose a subject to give advice on. The following text was taken from Mastering Mathematics , by Richard Manning Smith in 1991. Mathematics Begin with an open mind! Do not make negative comments like "I've never been good at math." Overcome your 'low ability'. Take the course seriously, do the necessary work, pay attention to detail and have A persistent, never-quit attitude and you may very well do as well or better than high ability students!!! Overcome a weak mathematics background - Begin with an attitude that you will take the class seriously - Find a great teacher - DO NOT MISS CLASS - Do the homework regularly - Study and take all tests - Obtain a copy of a good review book and find the section that deals with your deficiency, read it and practice working those problems. Overcome a big time gap between mathematics courses - Patch up weakness immediately Don't make excuses.

    and he fixes careless mistakes. At this point I am letting him read two
    lessons a day, and do half a problem set and the next day the other

    walk by and remind him to get going. He then moves along just
    fine. While he is reading the new little lessons, he is excited and

Have the students work with their parents using a "new" recipe for both. Brownies, lasagna, etc. Usually something neither the kids or their parents make. Then have them re-write the ingredient amounts by doubling, tripling, etc. Help them use the TI-explorer calculator or other in class to make sure their new recipe is correct. Then have the students make it and bring a couple of servings to class. The kids or you can cut smaller portions and use this as a probability (again using fractions) for receiving a particular entree or dessert.

    Power in Math and Science: Advice for Parents
    If you shy away from math and science activities with your children because you're afraid you don't know much about them, read on. There's lots you can do to encourage your children's interest in these areas, and you don't have to be a statistician or microbiologist to do it! In fact, it's better if you don't give them knowledge by telling them answers; instead, nurture their love for these subjects by watching and learning right along with them. Some home learning tools that teach about math and science:
    • building blocks and construction sets magnets ant farms scales magnifying glasses flower and vegetable seeds calculators flower press bird feeders microscopes and telescopes Bake a cake together and observe/talk about how the mixtures change from powders to liquid to solid.

    Chalking It Up: Advice to a New TA
    Third Edition Bruce Reznick
    University of Illinois Bruce Reznick
    Introduction "The secret to education is respecting the pupil."
    Ralph Waldo Emerson Facing your first class is a frightening experience. Think of it! Thirty human beings have paid good money to a fine university for their education, and they have been entrusted to you. You represent three percent of their college instruction, and you have never taught before. What can you do? Plunge ahead. Erase the board, pronounce your name and spell it in chalk, tell the class your office address, phone number and e-mail address, identify the course by name and section number, hold up the textbook and describe the syllabus, announce your office hours and intended grading scheme. By the time you call the roll, you are already a teacher. Congratulations! I am a professor of mathematics, not a professor of education, and I have not studied pedagogy in an organized fashion. This is a practical essay on teaching, anchored by a few underlying observations. Remember that your students are just like you.
