Practical Measurement

The teaching of measurement is usually included in elementary school mathematics. Uses for the ideas of measurement are applicable to all segments of the curriculum. Practical measurement forms a significant part of needed skills for child and adult alike. A cursory glance at the need and the application of measurement will give ample evidence to its importance. Teaching the ideas of measurement is not an easy task. Examples of measurement must come from the real world to effectively illustrate this important subject. Measuring lends itself to activity-oriented experiences, and yet we still find teachers listing equivalents and expecting children to memorize them. This issue of The Arithmetic Teacher is devoted to the teaching of measurement in the elementary schools and represents the position that measurement should be experienced.

Fascinating to some and frightening to others, the computer has emerged from its infancy to become a gangling adolescent with a voracious appetite for new challenges! And yet, the computer offers wonderful possibilities to free men from routine and release them to genuinely creative behavior. For years a primary objective of elementary school mathematics instruction was to make “computers” of persons. The application of the computer should now permit us to make “persons” out of persons in our curriculum. This month's issue of The Arithmetic Teacher features articles dealing with the computer, its use in mathematics education, and its significance for the classroom.

Experience Difficulty

Children often experience difficulty learning mathematics unless it is related to objects or situations that are meaningful to them. Underhill (1981) reports mathema tical research (Brownell and Moser 1949; Gray 1965) indieating that memory is greatest for learners when the material to be remembered has meaning for them. Mathematics often has little meaning for children when these relationships are not formed. It may seem remote and removed from real-world events and experiences. Teachers seeking to improve mathematics teaching and learning may wish to consider creating a supermarket math lab in the school or classroom. The supermarket setting can provide an experiencebased environment for activities and make mathematics a part of the child's world. This project can be adapted to kindergarten and firstgrade activities and can evolve into advanced concepts and problems found in upper elementary school mathematics.

Axiomatic Systems

The teaching of geometry in the elementary school can be an exciting experience; children are receptive to experimentation, and many activities can be devised to facilitate learning. Generally, however, the use of exploration in geometry decreases as students progress through school and as they begin the study of formal axiomatic systems. In the higher grades we need to present interesting uses of geometry that will allow students to develop their powers of exploration and problem solving. The purpose of this article is to outline an example of how geometry serves as a model in the real world and to suggest how it might be used at the high school level.

Everyday Problems

Mathematical literacy requires individuals to solve a problem and also apply mathematics in everyday problems, which results in the ability to interpret solutions to those problems. In PISA it is known that Indonesia's mathematics literacy score is among the lowest, as well as in Guguk District Lima Puluh Kota Regency. One way to overcome this is to start introducing literacy to students early on. The introduction of literacy must be instilled in students since they are still in elementary school. Based on this, a training program and workshop was held regarding the application of mathematical literacy in mathematics learning in elementary schools in Guguak District with elementary school mathematics teacher partners who are members of the KKG SD Gugus III Kecamatan Guguak Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota.

Don't close your eyes. It won't go away. Subtle sex bias in elementary schools isn't likely to disappear unless you do something about it. One way to begin is by recognizing that sex stereotyping may exist in the instructional materials used in elementary schools, or more specifically within elementary school mathematics textbooks.

Let us examine carefully the relationships between the abstract mathematical system of rational numbers and the uses we make of this system as we deal with the real world. The study of these relationships is probably the chief responsibility of elementary school arithmetic teachers.

Whole Numbers

Most of the literature concerned with the division of whole numbers has dealt either with different variations of processes for division or with different strategies for teaching such processes to children. The index of almost any source dealing with the learning of elementary school mathematics contains the phrase division algorithm. However, the narrative to which it refers almost invariably reveals that the phrase refers to a description of some aspect of division as a process. All too frequently, one also finds that the particular process is referred to as “the division algorithm.” Such a descriptor is misleading, for there are many different division processes.

The Way

Determining the most suitable control algorithm for a system is not an easy task. In theory, each controller has its own advantages and disadvantages comparing to the others. However, in the real world, the behavior of the controller also depends on many other factors such as the calculating ability of the control board, the accuracy of the sensors, the way the hardware communicate with the others, etc. In order to find the pros and cons of each control algorithm in the real world, each of them has to be tested and then comparing their results. This article presents a simple way to test the behavior of various control algorithms, with the quadrotor as the control target and ArduPilot is the framework to create the firmware carrying multi controllers. At the end of this article, the results of 3 control algorithms: Original PID of ArduPilot, new developed PID and Integral Backstepping will be presented and compared. These data is created by using Software In The Loop simulation (SITL), a tool provided by ArduPilot to test the new developed firmware.
