Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics can be characterized as an endeavor to discover the patterns hidden within nature. The math education content should be devised as a way of bringing out creativity within every individual, who each have a different unique talent, through the understanding of humanity and nature. Mathematics is the subject dedicated to discovering the hidden patterns within nature. Upon discovering this pattern, you can create something that provides happiness to people. Humans are part of nature. Therefore, the hidden patterns to making people happy must be embedded in the nature. Then, what are some of the things that can make people happy? People of today are lonely. They are waiting for something that can soothe their loneliness. Smartphones are fairly recent example of an item that soothes people’s loneliness. Also, people have thirst for anything that can extend their life span so they could live long and healthy lives. What are some of the examples? One of those items is new medicines, that cure diseases that were previously impossible to cure. Another example would be prescriptive tools such as MRI, ultrasonic waves and CT. Health and emotional issues are highly interrelated and all add up to allowing happy lives. Every machinery or technological devices that bring happiness are included in the field of high-tech industry. Mathematics is a ‘source technology’ for all high-tech industry. The level of a country’s mathematics skills is equivalent to the level of a country’s competence. Today, all first world countries have exceptional level of mathematics. The most ideal math education is an endeavor to discover the patterns hidden within nature. Before you do that, you first have to observe and starts from the very effort to find those patterns in animals and plants. Biologists are people who find patterns in animals and plants. The nature consists of plants and animals. If you observe them well, you would be able to uncover a distinctive, original pattern in all of them. A pattern is innately differentiated characteristic that every plant and animal has. In order to bring this act of observation into a field of mathematics, you have to be able to draw out those patterns. The patterns of animals and plants are very sophisticated, quite hard to realize the overarching pattern. If you can tag every pattern you find with a number or a word, you can turn the pattern into a form of an equation. Then, the overriding pattern becomes apprehensible. As such, numbers and languages are powerful tools that mathematicians use in the process of finding the hidden pattern behind the nature. Once we find the pattern through observation and tag them with a number or a language, we finally have the chance to discern the pattern itself. Numbers and languages are key features in ‘idealism’ that mathematicians support. Physicians say the following, “If physicians do not utilize numbers and languages of mathematics, we cannot even begin to collect our thoughts.” To simply put, idealism of mathematics is an equation. If you turn various possibilities of numbers into a language, what you’ll have in the end would be an equation. Long sentences that contain numbers can be easily turned into an equation if you utilize a language. There is a need to understand the saying, “The use of language has brought convenience to the field of mathematics.” The difference between calculation and mathematics stems from this very idea. Once you find the overriding pattern, you have to find the overarching rule. Because you have to figure out the reason why the structure of nature is created and goes extinct in order to find out the hidden pattern behind the nature. Every living organism has a consistent pattern. However, there are patterns hidden within patterns. A pattern and its destruction always exist side by side which makes it difficult for us to pinpoint the pattern of movement. Furthermore, a pattern might be multi-dimensional which makes external detection rather difficult. There seems to be some sort of a rule inside pattern but no one can be completely sure of what that pattern is precisely. In order to discern patterns, destruction of patterns, and patterns that appear within another pattern, people need to have higher perspective. Higher perspective can be nurtured without limit by acquiring a refined taste in the humanities. If we can cultivate classic taste for the humanities through reading so that we can understand societies that we do not live in, we will have the ability to see the invisible, hear the inaudible and gain insights into the world we’ve never been. The humanities is a story about people’s lives. It is about how creative people’s lives were throughout their life and how beautiful their death was when the moment came. The humanities is about life and death. By studying the humanities, people will gain new perspectives on profound subjects such as life and death, creation and extinction, time and space and finally the past, present and the future. Therefore, they can analyze the world of patterns that impact other patterns. If people can find the hidden pattern behind nature, they can understand the secret behind life and death of plants and animals. They can also understand the secret to creation and extinction of the nature. Mathematicians are people who devise a prediction mechanism to make projections on what will happen to living organisms by finding hidden patterns behind the nature. The most ideal mathematics education will enable you to cover fields of expertise in natural science such as biology, chemistry and physics. Biologists are people who find pattern by observing the nature and draw it out. Chemists then do their job of naming those that are visible, tangible and have forms. Physicians take care of the field of power and mechanisms that explain the process all living organisms maintain to keep their unique forms. Mathematicians are people who devise a prediction mechanism to make projections on what will happen to living organisms by finding out hidden patterns behind the nature. This is the very reason why we call mathematics the essence of natural science. Comprehending the world of chemistry for the structure of nature and the world of physics for power and mechanism is vital to find out hidden patterns behind the nature. We need to also understand the world of fractals (chemistry) and the world of chaos (physics). The world of chemistry and physics always maintain a structural relationship. At the same time, mathematicians figure out hidden patterns behind the nature by looking at both the world of chemistry and physics and speculating on what will happen to one organism and how big it will grow before it suddenly gets smaller and disappear. 2022. 10. 20 David Ann, Ph.D. PREFACE

Download or read book Improving Mathematics Education written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-01-28 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving Mathematics Education has been designed to help inform stakeholders about the decisions they face, to point to recent research findings, and to provide access to the most recent thinking of experts on issues of national concern in mathematics education. The essence of the report is that information is available to help those charged with improving student achievement in mathematics. The documents cited above can guide those who make decisions about content, learning, teaching, and assessment. The report is organized around five key questions: What should we teach, given what we know and value about mathematics and its roles? How should we teach so children learn, given what we know about students, mathematics, and how people learn mathematics? What preparation and support do teachers need? How do we know whether what we are doing is working? What must change? Each of the five main chapters in this report considers a key area of mathematics education and describes the core messages of current publication(s) in that area. To maintain the integrity of each report's recommendations, we used direct quotes and the terminology defined and used in that report. If the wording or terminology seems to need clarification, the committee refers the reader directly to the original document. Because these areas are interdependent, the documents often offer recommendations related to several different areas. While the individual documents are discussed under only one of the components in Improving Mathematics Education, the reader should recognize that each document may have a broader scope. In general, the references in this report should serve as a starting point for the interested reader, who can refer to the original documents for fuller discussions of the recommendations and, in some cases, suggestions for implementation. Improving Mathematics Education is designed to help educators build a critical knowledge base about mathematics education, recognizing that the future of the nation's students is integrally intertwined with the decisions we make (or fail to make) about the mathematics education they receive.

Strengths-Based Teaching and Learning in Mathematics: 5 Teaching Turnarounds for Grades K- 6 goes beyond simply providing information by sharing a pathway for changing practice. . . Focusing on our students’ strengths should be routine and can be lost in the day-to-day teaching demands. A teacher using these approaches can change the trajectory of students’ lives forever. All teachers need this resource! Connie S. Schrock Emporia State University National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics President, 2017-2019 NEW COVID RESOURCES ADDED: A Parent’s Toolkit to Strengths-Based Learning in Math is now available on the book’s companion website to support families engaged in math learning at home. This toolkit provides a variety of home-based activities and games for families to engage in together. Your game plan for unlocking mathematics by focusing on students’ strengths. We often evaluate student thinking and their work from a deficit point of view, particularly in mathematics, where many teachers have been taught that their role is to diagnose and eradicate students’ misconceptions. But what if instead of focusing on what students don’t know or haven’t mastered, we identify their mathematical strengths and build next instructional steps on students’ points of power? Beth McCord Kobett and Karen S. Karp answer this question and others by highlighting five key teaching turnarounds for improving students’ mathematics learning: identify teaching strengths, discover and leverage students’ strengths, design instruction from a strengths-based perspective, help students identify their points of power, and promote strengths in the school community and at home. Each chapter provides opportunities to stop and consider current practice, reflect, and transfer practice while also sharing · Downloadable resources, activities, and tools · Examples of student work within Grades K–6 · Real teachers’ notes and reflections for discussion It’s time to turn around our approach to mathematics instruction, end deficit thinking, and nurture each student’s mathematical strengths by emphasizing what makes them each unique and powerful.
