Communicating With Parents Invite your children to explain what was learned in math class or have them theirthinking, to practice new skills, and to practice communicating mathematically http://www.mth.msu.edu/cmp/ImplementingCMP/ParentCommunication.htm
Extractions: Advanced Search For Connected Mathematics to be successful, it is extremely important for districts to familiarize parents/guardians with the curriculum, address their concerns and questions, and keep them informed about what is happening in class and about their children's progress. The following sections are found below. Parent/Guardian Concerns A problem-centered curriculum like Connected Mathematics will look quite different to parents/guardians than the mathematics curricula they studied in school. It is not easy to thumb through the materials and see the mathematics and the development of concepts, reasoning, and skills. To see the level of understanding and skills developed in the curriculum, one must examine teacher materials, student materials, the ensuing discussions in the classroom, and student work. It is important that districts address parent/guardian concerns and keep them thoroughly informed from the start about the mathematics that their children are studying. Parents/guardians need to understand the goals of the program. They should know that the primary goal is to have students make sense of mathematical concepts, become proficient with basic skills, and communicate their reasoning and understanding clearly. The concepts and topics students study should be familiar to parents/guardians, but they may need reassurance that significant and challenging mathematics is being studied. The emphasis on reasoning and communication may be less familiar. Parents/guardians may need help to understand that reasoning and communication are valued and that the program provides students with many opportunities to demonstrate their progress in these areas.

Method of Publishing Mathematics on the Internet by Mirek Majewski, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, PNG University of Technology, PMB UNITECH, Lae, Papua New Guinea The World Wide Web seems to be the greatest invention in publishing since the time of Gutenberg. On the WWW, we can publish books, articles, galleries of paintings, and all this information can be linked in a form of an incredibly large hypertext encyclopedia. We can design web pages full of color, pictures, video, music and unusual spectacular effects. Only one thing seems to be a problem: publishing mathematics on the web. This problem is vital for many educators who want to publish on the WWW their tutorials, textbooks and assignments in mathematics, physics or any other discipline using extensively mathematical notation. This article shows how to use Scientific Notebook to display mathematical concepts on web pages.
Extractions: "Engineering calculations represent a large investment of both time and money that is not fully delivering on its potential," said Chris Randles, CEO of Mathsoft Engineering & Education, Inc. "Spreadsheets and calculators fail to expose and capture the design rationale that goes into calculations, limiting a company's ability to manage, improve and reuse one of its most highly leveraged assets: engineering expertise." Mathcad is the industry-standard calculation package for technical professionals and the technical academic community, with well over 1.5 million users worldwide. With Mathcad 11, the company has built upon its strength in calculation power and documentation and added core application improvements for single users. In addition, through its interaction with its broad customer base, Mathsoft has identified an organizational need for centralized management of the essential calculations that drive engineering enterprises. As a result, this new release of Mathcad includes support that, for the first time, makes its possible to systematically capture, share and manage math-based information throughout the entire organization.

Extractions: School Self-Study of Elementary Math Program Purpose of the Audit : School staff may use this self-study to examine the current math program as another method of gathering information for the school improvement plan. Suggestions for use : 1) Each teacher individually marks the items according to his/her perceptions of practices in all classrooms in the school and returns the self-study sheet anonymously to either the principal or school improvement team for tallying. 2) The team uses the self-study sheets when visiting each classroom and reaches a collective perspective about the use of these best practices throughout the school. 3) The results from the individual teachers and the collective perspective of the school improvement team could be used separately or combined into a single report for the school as a whole to use as a point of discussion. Self-Study Follow-Up : Practices that are identified as being most challenging and needing further emphasis could be incorporated into the school improvement plan. Professional development experiences on particular practices could be offered. Teachers could use the summary results to develop instructional practices in individual classrooms, at grade levels, and/or schoolwide.

Math WG: Charter Acceptance of the essential role of MathML for communicating math through theWeb, and its employment otherwise in the production of mathematically rich http://www.w3.org/Math/W3CDocs/mathcharter.html
Extractions: Math Working Group Charter Revised February 2000 from version of 11 June 1998 Mathematics Working Group The W3C Process Document describes what is required for a Working Group's charter. Its guidelines are followed here. The Math Working Group is chartered to continue the task of facilitating the use of mathematical formalism on the Web, both for scientific documentation and for education. This involves the development of a next version of the MathML specification, maintenance of and encouragement of the use of the present MathML 1.0 Recommendation , continued liaison with other Working Groups within the W3C to ensure that the potential of MathML is realized, and relations with other organizations designed to strengthen the position of MathML and the use of math on the Web. This will mean that the use of math in Web documents will be encouraged by the W3C, to which the MathML specification belongs, and should significantly contribute to the usefulness of the Web for science, technology and education. The continuation of the work on mathematics on the Web falls well within the User Interface Domain. Maintenance and clarification of the MathML Specification, a W3C Recommendation.

Extractions: This document sets the stage for the continuation of development and support for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) 1.0 Specification W3C has an existing Math Working Group which by charter shall finish its work in June 1998. The MathML 1.0 Specification is a product of the W3C's Math Working Group and was issued as a W3C Recommendation on the 7th of April 1998. MathML is an XML application for representing mathematical expressions, their presentation, their semantics, or both. MathML consists of approximately 100 elements and their attributes, which can be divided into two major categories: presentation elements and content elements. Presentation elements may be used to express the two-dimensional layout of mathematical expressions. Content elements are used to express the semantics of mathematical expressions up to the level of calculus. Content elements have a default presentation but may be combined with presentation elements to customize the layout of expressions. ( Some MathML examples.

Math On The Web: July, 2001 The Promise and the Problem of Math on the Web. The problem of communicating mathon the Web is really no different than communicating math via other media. http://www.dessci.com/en/reference/webmath/status/status_Jul_01.htm
Extractions: July, 2001 Focus: Distance Learning by Robert Miner and Paul Topping, Design Science, Inc. The six months since the last Status Report have seen steady incremental improvement in support for Math on the Web. There has been some progress with browser support, and more activity with authoring tools. However, some of the most notable developments have been in the area of support for math in distance learning tools. In this volume of the Status Report, we begin with a brief survey of what people are doing with math and science communication on the Web, and the techniques they are using to do it. We will then take a look at some notable Math on the Web news and announcements from the last six months. Finally, we end by taking a closer look at what has been happening in the distance learning arena. The problem of communicating Math on the Web is really no different than communicating math via other media. Namely, authoring and displaying mathematical notation is difficult. On top of that, the Web is a dynamic medium, where users can interact with rich media documents in sophisticated ways. This introduces a whole new layer of challenges and possibilities for engaging, interactive communication between authors and readers. In spite of the fact that math and science communication on the Web requires special skills and tools, along with a healthy dose of ingenuity, this has not stopped people from taking advantage of the Web's potential. Many innovative Web sites, some new, some old, show what is possible with today's technology.
