The Integral Role Of Tulsa Community College In The Mathematics And Science Preparation Of Prospective Teachers, C. Thompson Jan 1998

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 …

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 Jan 1998

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, …

One Hour Of Chemical Demonstrations, S. Solomon, M. Oliver-Hoyo, J. Tian, B. Brook Jan 1997

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 …


Using Graphing Calculators To Integrate Mathematics And Science, J. Garofalo, F. Pullano Jan 1997

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 Jan 1997

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.
