The problem discussed in this article was presented at the Delaware Teacher Enhancement Partnership Workshop in July 1994. The problem incorporates manipulatives; pattern building; graphing calculators, such as the TI-82; and matrix applications and functions and can be adapted to any level from middle school through high school. It covers the topics of geometry, algebra, discrete mathematics, and technology and can be explored with cooperative learning. The matrix application is emphasized in this presentation, but other features of the problem, including polynomials and the use of lists on the TI-82, are also worthy of attention. A worksheet containing the problem is included for students.

And Function

Graphing calculators are revolutionizing the learning and teaching of mathematics. Students can view and manipulate graphs of functions in a matter of seconds. Such features as “plot,” “graph,” “trace,” and “zoom” offer opportunities for users to develop an understanding of the terms variable and function. According to the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1989), these concepts are vital aspects of the middle school curriculum. According to the standards document, “[A]n ideal 5-8 mathematics curriculum would expand students' knowledge of numbers,… patterns and functions, and the fundamental concepts of algebra” (pp. 65-66). In addition, “[T]echnology, including calculators, computers, and videos, should be used when appropriate” (p. 67). It stand to reason that tools to aid in understanding such concepts as variable and function, specifically graphing calculators, should not be reserved for high school juniors and seniors. This article discusses the use of graphing calculators by students of middle school age in an enrichment program for academically able, but economically disadvantaged, students. The exercises described helped students develop an understanding about variable and function. Students were actively engaged in problem solving that involved hands-on, real-life activities.

This research examines the learning of mathematics-learning cooperatives the type of Team Assisted Individualization with contextual approach and it is relation with improved mathematical connection quality of high school (Junior High School) Private in the city of Bandung. The purpose of this research was: know how to increasiing learner mathematical connection quality who follow the method of contextual approach Through Cooperative Learning the Type of TAI compared with students who follow the teaching of mathematics with the conventional models, implementation approach contextual approach in class and the difficulties faced students of middle school in solving about the connection mathematics. The study instrument apply was a black-and-white exam mathematical connection quality. The results obtained in the form of the pretest and posttest scores then processed with statistical methods test the difference of two averages. The output indicate that improvement of connection quality of middle school student who follow the method of contextual approach Through Cooperative Learning the Type of TAI is more increased compared with students who follow the teaching of mathematics with the conventional models. Implementation contextual approach can improve the ability of connection mathematics students middle school, the difficulties faced students middle school in solving about the connection mathematics is indicator using math in the part of another study or in daily life.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the ways in which adolescent students who stutter perceive their school experiences. Method This study used a qualitative, phenomenological research design. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 7 adolescent students who stutter (3 in middle school and 4 in high school). Participants were interviewed about their school experiences, including the effects of stuttering on academics, learning, teacher relationships, peer relationships, speech therapy experiences, and self-image. Data analysis consisted of transcribing interviews and analyzing them for emerging themes. Results Findings revealed that participants described a variety of experiences around the school setting. Participants reported less favorable middle school experiences. Middle school participants reflected more on teasing, bullying, and feelings of embarrassment, whereas high school participants revealed that teachers, staff, and peers were receptive and accepting of them and their stuttering. All participants reported that their speech therapy helped with classroom participation. Conclusions As a result of the participants' varied experiences, it is important to listen to and incorporate the voices of students who stutter into school, classroom, and therapy decision-making practices.
