The Way

One of my favorite far side cartoons features Rex the Wonder Dog. Rex is shown balancing an elaborate array of objects while traversing a tightrope on a unicycle. The caption reads, “High above the hushed crowd, Rex tried to remain focused. Still, he couldn't shake one nagging thought: He was an old dog and this was a new trick.” Maybe that cartoon speaks to you the way it does to me. As one of the developers of the middle-grades curriculum Mathematics in Context (MiC), one of the Standardsbased middle school curriculum projects funded by the National Science Foundation, I have used that cartoon many times to describe to teachers, young and old, how it might feel to be a teacher who is about to implement a mathematics curriculum such as MiC. I can usually tell from the nervous laughter that although they might not be old, they recognize that the new Standards-based curricula will require them as teachers to learn “new tricks.”

The march 1999 issue of Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School (MTMS) will focus on the theme “Data and Chance in the Middle School Curriculum.” The Editorial Panel would like to feature exemplary lessons related to these topics, examine how these topics might be explored by middle school students, and highlight ways that data and chance can be connected to other areas of study.

Counting Trees

Explorations of concepts of chance should be a part of the middle school curriculum, as indicated in the mathematics curriculum frameworks developed by several states (Florida 1996; South Carolina 1993; New Jersey 1996). The challenge for teachers is to find contexts that interest middle school students and motivate them to explore these ideas.
