Throughout history, the goal of mathematics education has been to develop accurate and logical thinking in individuals so they can apply their newly gained knowledge to solving all kinds of problems. Math is therefore an important course of educational study, especially in preparing college students for careers in business, engineering, medicine, psychology and the various sciences. This section features resources for teachers, students and parents that focus on mathematics at the elementary school level.

Extractions: Marcella Ubben Candelaria This unit is designed primarily for 7th and 8th grade learning disabled students in a CBI (Community Based Instruction) program at a school with traditionally low math scores on standardized tests. The unit covers one semester, but with a different type of student population it could be taught in less time. The unit begins with basic number sense: counting, sequencing and number lines. The next concept is place value, using games and repetition to teach students that the place a number has is as important as the number itself. We will then learn about decimals using money. Next is an exploration of patterns in math and in the world around us, leading to the last item of geometry, where we will explore different shapes, their relation to each other, and begin a discussion of fractions. Analysis of Functions and Their Graphs as Models of Physical Phenomena: An Integrated Approach Using Maple6 William Glover This curriculum unit will focus on the use of deductive reasoning in the form of "if-then" statements and proofs. The unit will be presented during the second week of the first semester, and the methods will be applied for the duration of the course. The lesson plans for the unit will focus on deductive reasoning. The objectives of the unit include teaching students to:
