Family Mathematics Night, Ann M. Cartwright
Family Mathematics Night, Ann M. Cartwright
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
The purpose of this project was to develop a family mathematics night program that would encourage parental involvement in mathematics education thus, enhancing student achievement in mathematics. Parents attending the program would: (a) become familiar with the current mathematics program used by their children; (b) learn mathematics games to play at home with their children; and (c) be introduced to various child appropriate, mathematics web sites on the Internet. Much of the material presented was recapped in a miniguide to fourth grade mathematics that was given to all the families. This guide is a tool for the parents to use …
Standards Based Integrated Mathematics Activities: A Resource Guide For Second Grade Teachers, Angela Doty
Standards Based Integrated Mathematics Activities: A Resource Guide For Second Grade Teachers, Angela Doty
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
This author used knowledge gained from a review of literature, best practices, and personal teaching experience to create a resource of 30 integrated mathematics activities for second grade teachers. Each of the 30 activities contains stated objectives, standards addressed, materials needed, detailed instructions, applicable worksheets, and a suggested scoring guide. These activities are designed for second graders and are adaptable for first, third, and special needs students. The activities in the resource correlate with the Colorado Model Content Standards for Mathematics as well as CSAP preparation activities.

Using Critical Incident Reflections: A Self-Study As A Mathematics Teacher Educator, Joanne E. Goodell
Joanne E Goodell
In this paper, I report the results of a 4-year study into how my students learn to become mathematics teachers during the combined 15-week methods and field placement course I teach. At the start of most weekly methods class meetings, groups of three or four students reported their critical incidents to each other, and then chose one incident to report to the whole class. Each student then submitted a written report of 10 critical incidents for grading. At the end of each semester, I administered a questionnaire about the usefulness of each of the elements of the course. Using these …

Gaining Options: A Mathematics Program For Potentially Talented At-Risk Adolescent Girls, Pamela Trotman Reid, Sally K. Roberts
Teacher Education Faculty Publications
In response to indicators that a decline in interest in mathematics occurs among girls—particularly those from low-income and minority groups—during middle school, the GO-GIRL (Gaining Options: Girls Investigate Real Life) program was designed to help potentially talented at-risk girls. The program aimed to build mathematical confidence, skills, and conceptual understanding by integrating mathematics and social science research in a single-sex, technology-rich environment supported by university student mentors. The program targeted seventh-grade urban girls from public and private schools. Participants met over the course of ten Saturdays to learn research methods, computer skills, mathematics, and descriptive statistics. Quantitative data from the …
