Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Mathematics in Secondary Schools In addition to the purely pedagogical discussions, this' volume contains certain topics in pure mathematics which, on account of their bearing upon teaching, should be familiar to every teacher. These topics re late principally to the modes of attack (chapter XV), but also to the foundations of mathematics (chapter V), to the division of the circle (chapter XVI), and to a few other subjects. These chapters may be omitted when a rapid survey of the purely pedagogic matters is desired. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 112 pages. 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 elim inations and additions. Its effects on the curri cula 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 curriculumto re consider 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

Download or read book Secondary School Mathematics Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Robert Louis Short and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secondary-School Mathematics, Vol. 2 This volume continues the work of Book I and completes the required work in most four-year high schools; namely, algebra through quadratic equations, and all of plane geometry. In addition it trains the pupil in the use of logarithms and trigonometry of the right triangle. These last two topics are taught as a direct consequence of the theory of exponents and of ratios in similar right triangles. With algebra through proportion and most of straight line geometry at the student's command, this book offers from the very beginning the greatest opportunities for the introduction of interesting problems which are impossible in the old plan of keeping algebra and geometry separate. The applied problems, involving a knowledge of technical terms in shop or in the work of household arts, are so arranged that their introduction is at the discretion of the teacher, this of course depending largely on the type of school in which the text is being used.

Download or read book Secondary School Mathematics Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Robert L. Short and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secondary-School Mathematics, Vol. 1 This text differs widely from that marked out by custom and tradition. It treats the various branches of mathematics more with reference to their unities and less as isolated entities (sciences). It seeks to give pupils usable knowledge of the principles underlying mathematics and ready control of them. These texts are not an experiment; they were thoroughly tried out in mimeograph form on hundreds of high school pupils before being put into book form. The scope of Books I and II does not vary greatly from that covered in algebras and geometries of the usual type. However, Book I is different in that arithmetic, algebra, and geometry are treated side by side. The effect of this arrangement is increased interest and power of analysis on the part of the learner, and greater accuracy in results. Some pupils like arithmetic, others like algebra, still others like geometry; the change is helpful in keeping up interest. The study of geometry forces analysis at every step and stage; consequently written problems and problems to be stated have no terrors for those who are taught in this way. For several years mathematical associations have urged that all work should be based upon the equation. In accordance with this view we have made the demonstrations in this book largely algebraic, thus making the demonstration essentially a study in simultaneous equations. In this method of treatment, we have found it advantageous not to hurry the work. Pupils gain power, not in solving many problems, but in analyzing and thoroughly understanding the principles of a few.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Mathematics Perhaps no subject is so directly in the flux of the instability of things as mathematics. For cen turies this subject has held the unenviable reputa tion of being tortuous; yet man, because of his un ending need of the subject, has endured silently. It has been one of the necessary evils of life, yet, did man but know it, wonderfully full of beauty in its symmetry and exactness. Indispensible to the man who builds, to the man who barters, to the man who meditates, it has ever been shrouded with a mantle of mysticism. One might say with truth that they who have the greatest need of the find ings of mathematical investigation have the smallest Opportunity to acquire a knowledge of them.

Download or read book The Teaching of Arithmetic Classic Reprint written by David Eugene Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Arithmetic The Teachers College Record for March, 1903, contained an article on Mathematics in the Elementary School by the author's colleague Professor mcmurry and himself. This number, how ever, has long since been out of print, and as a result of this fact it was thought best in the autumn of 1908 to prepare a new number of the.record on The Teaching of Arithmetic. This was done by the author, and the article appeared in January, 1909. Although it was thought that the unusually large edition was sufficient for all demands for some years to come, it was ex hauste\d within a few weeks, and it became necessary to print the article in book form. In spite of the fact that the work was originally written in a popular style, to the end that it might be read by those who have no more interest in mathematics than in the various other subjects of the curriculum, it has been thought best to make but a few changes in arranging for its publication in the present form. Intended as it is for those who are teaching or supervising the work in arithmetic in the elemen tary schools, it would hardly serve its purpose if it departed widely from the practical and entered the domain of pure theory. As between influencing the few or the many on a topic of such general interest 'it has been thought better to adopt the latter course, and to prepare a book that might have place in educational reading circles generally and serve as a basis for the work in the class-room for the training of teachers.
