The Integral Role Of Tulsa Community College In The Mathematics And Science Preparation Of Prospective Teachers, C. Thompson
The Integral Role Of Tulsa Community College In The Mathematics And Science Preparation Of Prospective Teachers, C. Thompson
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
The role of the two-year college in the mathematics and science preparation of prospective teachers is fast becoming a prominent influence on teacher education programs across the country. This article describes the multifaceted role of Tulsa Community College (TCC), Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the preparation of prospective teachers in math and science. Since 1987 Tulsa Community College has hosted many events, activities, and programs aimed at the sciences. TCC activities/programs have focused on five areas: (1) preservice and inservice preparation; (2) summer teacher institutes supported by state and federal grants; (3) recruitment and emphasis on underrepresented groups; (4) parateacher associate degree/certification …
Accepting The Challenges: The Emerging Role Of Grand Rapids Community College In Preparation Of New Teachers, J. Hesse
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
In 1992, Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) was one of six community colleges invited to participate in a NSF initiative to improve science and mathematics teaching within the state of Michigan. This initiative included all public teacher preparation institutions in the state. GRCC has responded to this challenge by: (1) designing a new course in Physical Science for future teachers; (2) creating the GRCC Teacher Education Pathway and the GRCC Teacher Education Center; (3) forming a local alliance with Grand Rapids Public Schools and Grand Valley State University for the purpose of recruiting and supporting minorities in mathematics and science …
Pre-Education Programs: A Comprehensive Project At Henry Ford Community College, D. Zopf, L. Smyrski
Pre-Education Programs: A Comprehensive Project At Henry Ford Community College, D. Zopf, L. Smyrski
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
Henry Ford Community College (HFCC) in Dearbom, Michigan is a two-year institution of higher education serving a diverse student population of approximately 13,000 students. In addition to providing a broad array of technical and vocational programs, the College provides the first two years of a baccalaureate program. However, the transferability of these programs is not assured. In the absence of a mandated state-wide curriculum, two- and four-year colleges and universities in Michigan develop courses and programs independently, and the transfer of courses between institutions is determined independently by the respective departments. The end result is often loss of credit when …
College Of San Mateo Mathematics And Science Teacher Education Program: A Bay Area Collaborative For Excellence In Teacher Preparation With San Jose State University And San Francisco State University, C. Tonini
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
The College of San Mateo (CSM), a community college serving the San Mateo County area of California, is part of a collaborative effort in the San Francisco Bay Area to improve mathematics and science teacher preparation. With funding mainly through the National Science Foundation, the project is locally referred to as the MASTEP Project (Math and Science Teacher Education Program). MASTEP partners include two California State Universities (San Jose State University and San Francisco State University), four community colleges (College of San Mateo, City College of San Francisco, Evergreen Valley Community College, and San Jose City College), selected K-12 schools, …

Learning To Understand: Mathematical Preparation Of Prospective Teachers, M. Hannigan, V. Preston
Learning To Understand: Mathematical Preparation Of Prospective Teachers, M. Hannigan, V. Preston
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
This paper describes the development of a two-course sequence in mathematics content for prospective elementary teachers. Community college and university personnel collaborated to develop a course sequence that would prepare prospective elementary teachers to teach mathematics with an understanding of concepts to support their abstract mathematical knowledge. The strategy was to begin with a broad vision and then focus on the smaller pieces which would achieve that vision. The course changes are validated by documents published by various educational and mathematical groups advocating an increased emphasis on teaching for understanding rather than rote learning. Significant change is difficult without support …

Using Graphing Calculators To Integrate Mathematics And Science, J. Garofalo, F. Pullano
Using Graphing Calculators To Integrate Mathematics And Science, J. Garofalo, F. Pullano
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
The computational, graphing, statistical and programming capabilities of today’s graphing calculators make it possible for teachers and students to explore aspects of functions and investigate real-world situations in ways that were previously inaccessible because of computational constraints. Many of the features of graphing calculators can be used to integrate topics from mathematics and science. Here we provide a few illustrations of activities that use the graphing, parametric graphing, regression, and recursion features of graphing calculators to study mathematics in science contexts.
Developing Mathematics Enrichment Workshops For Middle School Students: Philosophy And Sample Workshops, H. Keynes, A. Olson, K. Singer
Developing Mathematics Enrichment Workshops For Middle School Students: Philosophy And Sample Workshops, H. Keynes, A. Olson, K. Singer
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
This paper describes our approach to organizing enrichment activities using advanced mathematics topics for diverse audiences of middle school students. We discuss our philosophy and approaches for the structure of these workshops, and then provide sample schedules and resource materials. The workshops cover activities on the following topics: Graphing Calculators; The Chaos Game; Statistical Sampling; CT Scans–the reconstruction problem; The Platonic and Archimedean solids; The Shape of Space; Symmetry; The Binary Number System and the game of NIM; Graph Theory: Proof by Counterexample.

One Hour Of Chemical Demonstrations, S. Solomon, M. Oliver-Hoyo, J. Tian, B. Brook
One Hour Of Chemical Demonstrations, S. Solomon, M. Oliver-Hoyo, J. Tian, B. Brook
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
This article describes a diverse set of chemistry demonstrations especially selected to encourage student interaction and to be easily transported. The demonstrations may be presented at a level that can be tailored to any audience– from very young children to high school students planning careers in science. An ideal environment is a small classroom with 20-30 students where everyone can take part in the discussion. Once the chemicals are prepared, the collection of demonstrations takes about ten minutes to set-up, and one hour (or less) to perform. Very little is needed at the visiting site, no more than a table …
