Perhaps inspired by my regular reading of Mathematics Teacher's “Delving Deeper” department, I recently took another look at two sets of equations that I usually give to high school students for practice in discovering and then verifying patterns.

This study aims to see the strengths and weaknesses of the teacher in the teaching process based on the competence aspects of the mathematics teacher and to describe the situation and state of the teacher's competence when in the learning process in the classroom based on student perceptions associated with the competence of the students themselves. Data processing techniques using data analysis Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The population of this study were junior high school students in Labuhanbatu. The sampling technique used was proportional random sampling leading to simple random sampling, the number of samples obtained was 219 students. Techniques in the data collection process were carried out by distributing a questionnaire on students' perceptions of the mathematics teacher's performance consisting of 48 questions in the form of a Likert scale.

The present Project developed at Escola Família Agrícola Dom Antonio Possamai - EFADAP, aims to report the experimental activities, with the Mathematics teacher together with high school students, thus building rockets using a PET bottle in the study of concepts from physics, mathematics and chemistry, aiming to bring students closer to experimental activities, showing at the same time, the combination of theory and practice, where they would have autonomy to elaborate and test their hypotheses about the chemical reaction used in the rocket. The experiment is proposed to students and the teacher is a mediator of the process of study and application of knowledge, organizing weekly classes, until the end of the project. In the final considerations, the steps that students used to develop the experiment during classes are presented as a result of the development of the activity.

Teacher Trainee

This paper reports on the results of the design and implementation of a didactic device proposed by a mathematics teacher-trainee. This student did a course designed for didactic - mathematical training with the aim of adopting a non-traditional didactic model based on research, while linking mathematics with other disciplines. The teacher-trainee developed its implementation in a senior- course of an Argentine high school. This didactic device is based on the analysis of a real and present situation whose study allows to make some gestures of the questioning world paradigm, in the current conditions of an Argentine high school.

Career Information

The November 1961 issue of the Mathematics Teacher carried an article entitled “A Bibliography for Careers in Mathematics” in which I spoke of the need to make career information available to both high school students and their teachers. The need still exists, and in an attempt to bring the annotated bibliography up to date I list further references that may be helpful to students and teachers.

There are many fascinating geoboard problems and patterns that are of interest to high school students. One of these is the nine-point circle, presented on an isometric grid geoboard by Robert L. Jones in the February 1976 issue of the Mathematics Teacher.

Qualified Teachers

Available research supports a belief that a highquality mathematics education for high school students cannot be accomplished unless a highly qualified mathematics teacher is in the classroom. In the January 2004 issue of the Mathematics Teacher, Robert Reys addressed the shortage of highly qualified teachers. In the February 2004 issue Robert and Barbara Reys provided a summary of the work they are leading in Missouri to recruit persons who have the potential to become highly qualified teachers of mathematics. I have assisted them in that work. The undertaking is important and, as they report, appears to be achieving some short-term success. I believe that the national shortage of high-quality mathematics teachers will not be significantly alleviated, however, until we focus our major effort on the retention side of the issue.

Paper Cups

Manipulative materials have become an increasingly important part of mathematics instruction. The point has been argued that manipulatives make mathematics more intriguing, easier to understand, and even more fun to learn. The challenge for the mathematics teacher is to find new and interesting materials that help students better understand mathematics and better remember the mathematics that they have learned. Lima beans and small paper cups are one effective alternative for helping junior high school students learn how to solve simple algebraic equation.

Competitive Activities

Quite a number of the chapters of Pi Mu Epsilon, an honorary mathematics fraternity for university undergraduate and graduate students, sponsor competitive activities for mathematics students. A good many readers of The Mathematics Teacher no doubt have won Pi Mu Epsilon awards during their college days and a great many more of their students should be future winners of these contests. While most of these activities are sponsored for college students the nature of the contests and the kinds of recognition given should be suggestive for those interested in contests for high school students.

Insight Into

Professor Schorling was deeply interested in the consumer education movement in our schools. He had keen insight into its implications for the contribution which mathematics may make to general education. This insight is clearly exhibited in two publications that bear his name as co-author. One of these is The Role of Mathematics in Consumer Education,1 a report of a committee of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics; the other is Mathematics For The Consumer,2 a textbook for high school students. It, therefore, is entirely appropriate in this number of The Mathematics Teacher dedicated to the memory of Professor Schorling that the topic “Mathematics in the education of the consumer” should receive attention.

In the new programs section of the October 1973 edition of the Mathematics Teacher is an article describing the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP). The secondary school portion of the program is written for bright, verbal, well-motivated junior and senior high school students. Last year I observed a seventh-grade class at Burt Junior High School in Clarksville, Tennessee, where these materials (Elements of Mathematics, Book O)were being used. On that particular day the class was studying subsets. The assignment from the previous day included a problem where the students were to find the number of 2-element subsets that a 100-element set has.
