Metric Education for Rural Southern Mississippi is being conducted by the Department of Curriculum and Instruction of the University of Southern Mississippi, under a grant from the United States Office of Education's Metric Education Program. The project seeks to provide inservice training in the metric system to elementary teachers in the rural counties of southern Mississippi and to involve those teachers in training community participants in its use. Further information may be obtained by contacting Jocelyn Marie Rees, MERUSM Director, Department of Curriculum and Instruction-Southern Station, Box 9224, University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, MS 39401.

Teaching Ideas

Teaching required mathematics courses poses a challenge to teachers at all levels. Many of these difficulties are the result of cultural attitudes in the United States that make it socially acceptable, even trendy, to lack mathematical knowledge. Most of our students are aware of the inherent value of mathematics; but because mathematics is a subject that requires hard work, they choose to deny its importance. Our challenge is to somehow motivate students to take responsibility for their own learning. This goal is most effectively accomplished if students convince themselves that mathematics is interesting and useful.

Student Activity

Each month, elementary teachers receive a problem, along with suggested instructional notes and often a student activity sheet. Teachers are to use the problem in their own classrooms and report solutions, strategies, reflections, and misconceptions to the journal audience. November is election month in the United States. Every four years, opportunities arise for classroom discussions related to selecting the next U.S. president. In elementary school classrooms, mock elections can provide data to use for many mathematical explorations and graphical representations.

The Way

Life was indeed simpler a decade or so ago. For many of us then concerned with the mathematical preparation of elementary teachers, “the way to progress” seemed so clearly defined. A separatism of the past that held arithmetic to be distinct from mathematics had largely dissolved. In the United States at least, arithmetic had come to be accepted as the vital opening chapter to the potentially endless story of mathematics.
