The mathematics curriculum for a typical sixth-grade classroom easily provides ample content for an entire school year. It can be difficult to take the time needed to develop a mathematics concept through the use of literature. However, I found that by focusing on content. I was able to incorporate literature into one sixth-grade mathematics classroom. This activity presented an interesting springboard to problem solving, an opportunity to research famous mathematicians, and an excellent vehicle to enhance the understanding of mathematics concepts.

Abstract. The purpose of this study was to describe students' difficulties in solving problem solving problems in Algebra and Trigonometry courses. Subjects in this study were students of the Mathematics Education Faculty of Unika Santo Thomas Faculty of Teaching and Education study program in North Sumatra in semester 1 of the 2017-2018 school year, totaling 10 people. The data collection tool used in this study was a test of 5 questions in the form of a description. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive study. Data collection techniques are carried out by tests, observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques were carried out with the stages of data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results showed that students had difficulty using the concept of equality and inequality squared, the use of the concepts of trigonometric formulas. Students also have difficulties in using number sequence principles and completing trigonometric equation solving, difficulties in disclosing information from problem solving and calculation errors. The contributing factor is the existence of several concepts and principles of algebra and trigonometry that are used in solving problems that have not been well controlled by students and are less thorough in performing calculations.Keywords: Analysis of Learning Difficulties, Algebra and Trigonometry

How should computer be used in the classroom? An Agenda for Action state that “computers should be integrated into the core mathematics curriculum,” that they “should be used in imaginative ways for exploring, discovering, and developing mathematical concepts,” and that the computer activities should “fit the goals or objectives of the program” (NCTM 1980, p. 9).

Students in a sixth-grade classroom we visited were celebrating a classmate's birthday and enjoying fun-sized bags of Peanut M&M's candies. We overheard them discussing their curiosity at the small number of blue M&M's each of them had received in their small bags. Because the students were occupied in an informal, party atmosphere, we were pleasantly surprised to hear one student, Rickea, comment on a related mathematical issue. She speculated that the teacher's class-sized bag would have relatively few blue M&M's, as well. What a wonderful teaching opportunity for ratios and proportions Rickea's casual comment posed! In this article, we describe (1) how we built a week-long, problem-based unit around Rickea's original proportion question and (2) the effectiveness of using problem solving to help Rickea and her classmates construct knowledge about ratio and proportional thinking.

Middle-grades students' understanding of proportional relationships should be fostered through problem solving and reasoning (NCTM 2000). Toward this end, instruction in proportionality should expose students to a variety of strategies and allow students to gain experience modeling proportional situations (Langrall and Swafford 2000). Students should be given ample opportunities to develop intuitive strategies based on factor- of-change (“how many times as many”) relationships (Cramer and Post 1993). Research has shown that middle-grades students are more successful at method is appropriate to use” (NCTM 2000, p. 221). We begin our discussion by focusing on the events that unfold in Marie Hanson's sixth-grade classroom during a lesson on understanding ratios and proportions (Smith et al. forthcoming), and use this lesson as a context for considering how factor-of-change relationships might be used to assist students in understanding why cross multiplication works.

This article describes a composite of the experiences of two teachers to illustrate how an assessment event might occur in a classroom. The composite is a result of multiple observations made during the 1994–95 school year of two sixth-grade mathematics classrooms (Moskal 1997). The scenario that begins this article was developed from a task created by the assessment team of a project called Quantitative Understanding: Amplifying Student Achievement and Reasoning (QUASAR) (Lane 1993).

The concept of relations and functions in the school mathematics curriculum was first accepted by students in grade VIII. In evaluating students' understanding of the concept of relations and function material, there are mistakes made by students. Errors that occur can be in the form of misconceptions, principles, and operating errors. This study aims to describe the types of errors in solving the material relations and functions of the VIII grade students of SMP Negeri 4 Balai Jaya in the odd semester of the 2020/2021 school year. This type of research is descriptive-qualitative research, with the test as a data collection instrument. The subjects in this study were 27 students of class VIIIA. The results showed that on average 60% of students made misconceptions, 51% of students made mistakes in principle and 63% of students made operational errors. Students have not been able to present relations correctly using arrow diagrams, Cartesian diagrams and consecutive sets of pairs. Students also still have difficulty distinguishing relations and functions. In the matter of functions, the use of steps in manipulating algebraic calculations carried out by students is not quite right.

A middle school mathematics classroom is an exciting place to be. The NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) presents for grades 5-8 many curricular idea that have generated much enthusiasm by incorporating teaching strategies that promote active student learning. Middle school teachers have taken great strides toward implementing ideas that are both innovative and instructive. This article explains how one teacher is converting her traditional mathematics classroom into one that more closely reflects the standards document. These result could not have happened as quickly without the cooperative efforts of school and university personnel.
