This book was released on 2014-02-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this book is the fundamental influence of the cyphering tradition on mathematics education in North American colleges, schools, and apprenticeship training classes between 1607 and 1861. It is the first book on the history of North American mathematics education to be written from that perspective. The principal data source is a set of 207 handwritten cyphering books that have never previously been subjected to careful historical analysis.

Download or read book The Place of the Elementary Calculus in the Senior High School Mathematics written by Noah Bryan Rosenberger and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Place of the Elementary Calculus in the Senior High-School Mathematics: And Suggestions for a Modern Presentation of the Subject Even a little less than a decade ago, the trained teacher of high school mathematics had the pleasure of teaching real mathematics as found in such subjects as trigonometry, solid and plane geometry, and advanced and elementary algebra. It is doubtless true that this kind of work was inclining too much toward formalism and that the needs of the learner were not being given sufficient attention. The strong reaction against formalism in general in education during the decade just past made the position of any genuine mathematics in our high schools very precarious. This threatened elimination of all real mathematics in our high schools was viewed with regret by those of us who had had the pleasure of starting many a pupil with a vigorous mind upon his mathematical way; and a number of prom inent educators who are especially interested in the teaching of mathematics have been working toward a readjustment of the mathematics curriculum so that it will fit into and fulfill its mission in the changed conditions as found in our schools to-day. The following study is the author's contribution toward this attempted readjustment. The kind of mathematics that should be taught in the first six school years has been definitely settled; the main points of the work in mathematics that should be included in the junior high-school period have been agreed upon; and the author hopes that his study will be of some value in helping us to formulate the content of the mathematics curriculum of the senior high school.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The High School Course in Mathematics The purpose of this bulletin is twofold: First, to outline the course in high school mathematics as well as to indicate meth ods of presentation for the various topics; second, to point out some of the subjects which lie just beyond the scope of the high school work and which form a necessary background for it. It is assumed that the best presentation of such topics as the fundamental laws of algebra, irrational numbers, the axioms and postulates of geometry, and limits, is impossible Without a much fuller knowledge of these subjects on the part of the teacher than can be gotten from the ordinary elementary text-book.

Download or read book Reconstructed Mathematics in the High School written by Henry Clinton Morrison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reconstructed Mathematics in the High School: The Adaptation of Instruction to the Needs, Interests, and Capacities of Students Subject-matter must function throughout the process of learning - The fact, or rather set of facts, at the bottom of the whole matter is the pupil himself, and he is the most stubborn fact of all. Everything must conform to his nature, whatever that may be. You may teach him much or little, but what you really teach will depend entirely upon what he can and will learn. For centuries untold schoolmasters have had their minds centered chiefly upon what they have thought he ought to learn and know, and seldom upon the discovery of principles which would reveal to them what he could and would learn. Now nothing is more deceptive than the appearance of learning which the average youth can present. It is possible to give the simulacrum of learning to almost any curriculum material from the multiplication table to Sanskrit. It is simple enough, that is to say, to cram a youth with learning which will enable him creditably to pass off a recitation or an entrance examination. That depends upon the force and skill of the teacher. But to ground the pupil in learning which will react to the only real test, namely, will it function? Depends as much upon the nature of the pupil's mind and the stage of his development as upon the professional tact and skill of the instructor. Whatever the subject taught or the teaching, if it is to be in any way productive and worth the while, it must not only respond to the function test, but it must have a chance to function all the way through the process of learning. That is, as it seems to the writer, indubitable in the light of all we know of the educative process. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Teaching of Geometry Classic Reprint written by David Eugene Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Geometry It is for this larger class, the great body of progressive teachers, that this book is written. It stands for Vitaliz ing geometry in every legitimate way; for improving the subject matter in such manner as not to destroy the pupil's interest; for so teaching geometry as to make it appeal to pupils as strongly as any other subject in the curriculum; but for the recognition of geometry for geometry's sake and not for the sake of a fancied utility that hardly exists. Expressing full appreciation of the desirability of establishing a motive for all studies, so as to have the work proceed with interest and vigor, it does not hesitate to express doubt as to certain motives that have been exploited, nor to stand for such a genuine, thought-compelling development of the science as is in harmony with the' mental powers of the pupils in the American high school. For this class of teachers the author hopes that the book will prove of service, and that through its peru sal they will come to admire the subject more and more, and to teach it with greater interest. It offers no pana cea, it champions no single method, but it seeks to set forth plainly the reasons for teaching a geometry of the kind that we have inherited, and for hoping for a grad ual but definite improvement in the science and in the methods of its presentation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of High School Mathematics The ideal of practicality has now entered the schools with telling force. It has been manifested in its demand for vocational training, and it is reconstructing the older cultural training by eliminations and additions. Its effects on the curricula of liberal schools are quite obvious. Materials once accepted without question, when schools had a margin of energy, are now displaced by the pressure of new demands. These new demands force the teachers of a crowded curriculum to reconsider every traditionally taught fact or process from the standpoint of its relative rather than its absolute worth. Without scorn for the value of any truth, old disciplines disappear and new ones enter. The ends of life are the ends of the school, and what is social is becoming academic, thus freeing the scholastic from the contempt of men who work in the world at large.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of Mathematical Education Including the Teaching of Arithmetic This study is based upon twenty years' experience Of school and college education ranging through all grades, including the very elements of counting and form in the kindergarten, the mathematics appropriate to the school, and the standard required Of students for an Honours Degree in our universities. Conclusions based on class-teaching and those arrived at by experiment and by a private study Of the individual have served both to correct and to supplement each other. The substance of the present volume has also formed the introductory part Of a course of lectures on the teaching of mathematics, which, for many years, I have given in various institutions to classes of teachers from almost all types and grades Of schools, elementary as well as secondary and tertiary.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems in the Teaching of Secondary Mathematics an Address Delivered Before the New England Association of Teachers of Mathematics We say to ourselves that if anything is to be blotted out, let it be some language or one of the various manual arts that are from time to time exploited only to find, in most cases, an early resting place in the great educational necropolis of forgotten graves. But the question cannot be dismissed in any such way as this. Other subjects have been seemingly as well intrenched as mathematics, and yet they have passed away. Formal logic was at one time one of the great features of a liberal education; it gave place, in the secondary school, to formal grammar; but a university course in formal logic is now a rarity, and a high-school course in formal grammar, as it was conceived of a few years ago, is almost unknown. The world seems to proceed as well without these subjects as it did when they held prominent place, and we have to face the question whether it would not get along just as well if algebra and geometry followed them into educational oblivion. The medieval Compotus was once an essential feature in the education of a learned man; it was apparently intrenched in a position of security; and yet, as I mention it to-day, half of this audience may be ignorant, and excusably so, of even the meaning of the word. Somebody at some time asked the question, " Why should an educated man need to study the Compotus?" - and the answer came in due time, "There is no reason," and the subject was soon forgotten. Somebody to-day raises the question, "Why should an educated man need to study algebra?" - and we, the teachers of mathematics, must answer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Arithmetic This work has been prepared with a view to the needs of Teachers' Reading Circles and of those who are giving in struction or supervising the work in arithmetic in the elemen tary schools. The effort has been made to free it from the more difficult technicalities of mathematics as far as possible, and from that phraseology of the world of pedagogy that renders educational problems unnecessarily difficult. It is the author's desire to place before the large body of teachers of arithmetic, rather than the few who are interested in the technicalities of experiment, a brief silmmary of the develop ment of the science and of the reasons for teaching it; a statement of the subject matter that may properly be selected for school purposes, and the arrangement of this matter in a course of study; a consideration of a few of the technical features of arithmetic; and a discussion of the work of the several school years. He feels it quite unnecessary, however, to repeat at length the simple explanations and devices that are found in any good textbook, believing that the teacher will usually find it advantageous in such matters to follow the book that she is using.

Download or read book First Year Mathematics for Secondary Schools Classic Reprint written by Ernst R. Breslich and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-09 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First-Year Mathematics for Secondary Schools The course Of study in American high schools is in process Of extensive change. The change commenced with the intro duction Of new subjects. At first science began to compete with the Older subjects; then came manual training, commercial and agricultural subjects, the fine arts, and a whole series of new literary courses. In the beginning the traditional subjects saw no reason for mixing in this forward movement, and such phrases as regular studies, substantial subjects, and serious courses were frequently heard as evidences Of the complacent satisfaction with which the well-established departments viewed the struggles for place of the newer subjects. Today, however, the teachers of mathematics and classics are less anxious than formerly to be classified apart. Even the more conservative now write books on why they do as they do and they speak with a certain vehemence which betokens anxiety. They also pre pare many editions Oi their familiar type of textbook, saying Of each that it is something which is both Old and new. All these indications make it clear that the change in the high-school curriculum which began with the introduction of new subjects will not come to an end until many changes have been made in the traditional subjects also. Over against the obstinate conservatism Of some teachers is to be set the vigorous movement within all subjects to fit them effectively to the needs Of students. The interest of today is in supervised study, in better modes Of helping students to think, in economy Of human energy and enthusiasm. This means inevitably a reworking Of the subjects taught in the schools. It is the Opportunity of this generation Of teachers to work out the changes that are needed to make courses more productive for mental life and growth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Algebra: Including Trigonometry IN 1909 and 1910 the author had the honour of giving courses Of lectures on the teaching Of Algebra addressed respectively to masters and mistresses in Secondary Schools. The present volume is a practical handbook based upon those lectures, and containing what seem to the author the most useful things he has learnt during the fifteen years of his work as a mathematical master and the ten years in which it has been his duty to discuss with teachers, actual and prospective, the problems Of their craft. It is accompanied by two col lections Of examples Exercises in Algebra, Part I, and Exercises in Algebra, Part II - which are in tended together to cover all stages of school instruction in the subject. Thus the three volumes constitute a single work In the view Of the author the term Algebra should include in its reference all the Trigonometry, plane and spherical, which it is desirable to teach in schools, together with an exposition of the fundamentals of the Calculus. He has sought, there fore, to present these subjects, both in this book and in the Exercises, as a unified whole.
