   http://www.math.uga.edu/~curr/LowerDivision.html
   
   Extractions: For Non Science/Business Majors Precalculus Level Courses Calculus Options After Second Semester Calculus ... General Advice for Prospective Math Majors 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. MATH 1113 (Precalculus): This course is not intended to be a terminal mathematics course; it prepares students for the mainstream calculus courses.

   Extractions: 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? 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.

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.

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!

    Extractions: 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.
