Principles And Standards

At the beginning of the twentieth century, David Eugene Smith wrote a book about teaching geometry. Although it was written for secondary school geometry teachers, his preface describing why he wrote the book is applicable for all grades. He said that his book “… stands for vitalizing geometry in every legitimate way; for improving the subject matter in such a manner as not to destroy the pupil's interest; for so teaching geometry as to make it appeal to pupils …” (Smith 1911, p. iv). At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 2000) gives us guidance in revitalizing geometry for elementary school students. In this article, we share some of its messages for teachers of prekindergarten through grade 5.

Principles And Standards

Many students find proofs frustrating, and teachers struggle with how to help students write proofs. In fact, it is well documented that most students who have studied proofs in high school geometry courses do not master them and do not understand their function (Battista 2007; Harel and Sowder 2007). And yet, according to NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics(2000), “By the end of secondary school, students should be able to understand and produce mathematical proofs … and should appreciate the value of such arguments” (p. 56).

Empirical observations reveal low enrolment of senior secondary school students for physical education at external examination bodies. The poor rate of students' choice of the subject at this level is a matter of concern to professionals, given the fact of monumental benefits of physical education as a science subject to humanity. The study was conducted to examine how psycho-administrative factors influence the choice of physical education by senior secondary school students at external examination bodies (in Nigeria) to come up with modalities to increase enrolment of the subject at external examination bodies. Descriptive method was applied for the study due to large respondents involved. Self-developed validated questionnaire tagged psycho-administrative determinants for choice of physical education among senior secondary school students at external examination bodies (PADGPEAS) was applied for the research. Out of three thousand and twenty-four (3024) questionnaire forms administered, only two thousand and fifty (2950) copies completed and returned were coded for analysis, with the use of descriptive statistics of percentages and nonparametric statistics of Chi-square (x 2) at 0.05 level of significant. Results unraveled a remarkable influence of psycho-administrative variables on the choice at physical education among senior secondary school students at external examination bodies. Based on this outcome, it is suggested that utilization of variety of methods by physical education teachers will go a long way to kindle the interest of the students for the subject. Enlightenment of students and parents on the values of physical education will facilitate remarkable positive attitude of both parts that relocate their position in favor of the subject.

Further Development

Interactive Virtual Math (IVM) is a visualization tool to support secondary school students’ learning of graphs by dynamic events. In the prototype version students construct a graph and try to improve it themselves and with the feedback of the tool. In a small-scale experiment, which involved four classes at secondary and tertiary education and their mathematics teachers we investigated how the students used the tool in the classroom. In this study we focus on the students learning experience and the results are expected to provide knowledge and directions for further development of the tool. The corpus data consists of self-reported questionnaires and lessons observations. One main finding is that students, at different school levels, find the tool useful to construct or improve graphical representations and it can help to get a better understanding of the subject. The tool features that helped students most were the self-construction of the graphs and to get feedback about their own graph at the end. Other findings are that the students can work independently with the tool and we know more about the tool features that are attractive or need to be improved.

Achievement In Mathematics

It was probably not a unique experience, but it sure was fun, and more important, fifteen elementary school teachers improved their skills for teaching mathematics and did away with some anxiety about the subject. While they were about it, these teachers also increased the achievement in mathematics of forty-five elementary school students and showed them that mathematics can be a lot of fun.

Negative Findings

The May 1972 issue of the Mathematics Teacher contained eight articles dealing with individualizing mathematics instruction. Most of the articles discussed a modular, self-paced approach to individualization. Since that time a substantial amount of research testing the effectiveness of such programs has been reported. This paper is a review of studies comparing self-paced, individualized programs with other teaching approaches at the secondary and post-secondary levels. A recent review of similar studies conducted with elementary school students showed that the results were overwhelmingly against individualized instruction as measured by mathematics achievement, with some ambiguity on attitude and other affective measures (Schoen 1975). Do these negative findings continue into secondary school and beyond? Mathematics teachers at these levels will find the results summarized here very informative, especially if they are considering adopting an individualized program.
