Mathematics Course

What mathematical topics are appropriate for study in a background course for prospective elementary teachers of arithmetic? Are mathematics educators in agreement as to which topics should be introduced in such a course? Are textbooks suitable for such a course currently available? The intended purpose of this report is to answer these and related questions.

The Past

Events in the past ten years have made it necessary and desirable for colleges and universities to increase their course requirements in mathematics for elementary school teachers. There has been little or no opposition to this trend except as one finds it in individual colleges when there is a proposal to change course requirements. In mathematics the change has been in the direction of doubling or trebling the number of credits in mathematics required of prospective elementary teachers.

Elementary School Mathematics

Colleges and Universities have the responsibility of training prospective elementary teachers in the teaching of elementary mathematics. These teachers must be trained so that they can teach elementary school mathematics for meaning and understanding. In addition to training prospective elementary school teachers, the colleges and universities also have the responsibility of acquainting teachers in-service with the “newer” approach in teaching elementary mathematics. In this article, I will use “elementary teachers” as including both groups.

We present the findings of a study on prospective elementary teachers’ proportional reasoning. After describing some of the teachers’ performance in solving multiplicative structure problems that involve ratios and relations of direct proportionality between quantities, we were able to establish classifications of their answers according to various categories of proportional reasoning.Razonamiento proporcional de futuros maestros de educación primariaPresentamos los resultados de un estudio sobre el razonamiento proporcional de futuros maestros de educación primaria.

Mathematics Educators

Mathematics educators generally agree that elementary school teachers should know “something” about geometry. There is little agreement, though, about what that “something” ought to be. If one were to use the textbooks which claim to provide a course in “Geometry for Elementary Teachers” as a guide, we might conclude that the course should be a rehash of the synthetic Euclidean plane geometry of the high school with one chapter on the geometry of the coordinate plane tossed in for flavoring. There arc a couple of notable exceptions to this generalization, but these exceptions, which are in fact quite different from the course described above, do not have an apparent underlying scheme or intent.

Service Experiences

Today there is widespread concern for helping e leme nta ry school teachers acquire new mathematical knowledge. This is reflected in the vast number of inservice programs being conducted across the country. As yet, however, there has been no gene ral agreement on important goals or reasonable levels of achievement to be expected after a series of prescribed in-service experiences. Characteristically there has been no attempt to find out how much of the new mathematics curricula elementary school teachers understand.

Geometric Shapes

Elementary school teachers, preservice or inservice, are not usually given the background in geometry that they need. Some college courses for elementary teachers contain no study of geometry. Those courses that do contain geometry may be limited to traditional topics in measurement, some terminology, and certain facts concerning familiar geometric shapes; or they may review the definitions, theorems, and proofs that the teacher has already had in high school. Judging on hearsay, experience, and an analysis of current mathematics texts for teachers, few courses are providing the teacher with what is needed.

Recent Meeting

At the recent meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics held in New York City,* one elementary school panel dealt with the problem of providing better instruction in mathematics to gifted students. Thus far, most attempts to meet the needs of gifted students have depended upon horizontal enrichment. A difficulty has been that most elementary teachers lack sufficient knowledge of mathematics to make enrichment programs successful. The mathematics preparation of elementary school teachers must be improved.

Lack Of Knowledge

Distance Learning (PJJ) began to be applied by all teachers in Indonesia during the Covid Pandemic including teacher who taughtat the Elementary School (SD) level. The application of this learning is not as easy as what many people talk about, because teachers must be able to select and design instrucctional media using technology. The problem ezperienced by teacher, especially in the regions, is the lack of knowledge in making technology-based learning media, especially learning media that can be used as an evaluation material for Distance Learning (PJJ). As a solution tothis problem, our team conducted training on making google forms for elementary teachers as a medium for evauating Distance Learning (PJJ) during the pandemic. The ethod we provide for this community service activity is by providing direct training to elementary school teachers, making simole modules, and providing assitance in making google form evaluation media. The result of this services activity is that as many as 20 teachers who participated in the training were able to create and design their own google form according to the needs of each subject as a media for evaluation of Distance Learing (PJJ. In addition, based on the results of the questionnaire filled out by the teachers who attended the training, it shows that 90% of the teachers understand how to make google forms themselves and 100% of  the teachers   are happy with the training acivities that have been held.Keyword: google form, pjj, evaluation learning

The purpose of this study was to investigate what level of number sense was possessed by preservice elementary school teachers. The sample was composed of students in six intact entry?level mathematics sections of a course populated by preservice elementary school teachers. One hundred fifty-five participants from these six classes completed data collection tasks during the Spring 2002 semester for the study. These courses are all problem-solving-based. A problem-solving-based mathematics course was designed to utilize manipulatives, problem solving approaches, and the cooperative learning environment. Students actively participate in problem-solving mathematical exploration. Research designs using a control group could not be used for this study, as the problem?solving?based classroom is the required method by the institution to teaching this mathematics class. The six combined classes form “one-group” with pretest/posttest corresponding to the pre-post-surveys. T?tests were used to compare the paired changes in number sense across time.The participating elementary school preservice teachers’ number sense changed between the beginning and the completion of the undergraduate mathematics content course. This change was significant at a = 0.01 for issues.
