According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the occupational outlook for students majoring in math will exceed average job growth through the year 2018. Math degrees allow students to consider jobs in a variety of fields. Although competition for jobs among math students remains high, there are many opportunities to find jobs that offer good compensation, a comfortable work environment and, in many cases, job stability. Business and Finance Mathematics majors who enjoy statistics and predictive modeling might consider a job in actuarial science. Actuaries manage and analyze risk in industries ranging from insurance to the stock market, and according to Hope College, actuaries have one of the top rankings in job satisfaction and opportunities for advancement. People majoring in math who enjoy business and personal finance might consider jobs such as financial advising, investment banking, accounting or auditing. Math majors might also consider jobs as economists; these positions are often located within large corporations and banks as well as within international, federal and state governmental agencies. Students with interest in both mathematics and architecture or engineering might consider positions as cost estimators who work on community planning, building projects and business development.

Online videos and their role in education February 09 Newsletter MathVids Original How to REALLY reach struggling math students 4 Comments written by Ryan Andersen What follows is an explanation of a highly controversial way of teaching struggling math learners that you will probably not hear very many places.  This method of teaching those who are “falling behind” will probably not be endorsed any time soon by any educational associations or picked up as cutting edge pedagogy.  Instead, many people will probably find the idea of this article heresy.  However, as a teacher of high school seniors who struggle to graph lines and simplify simple Algebraic expressions, I can say from experience that this strategy works in many cases. So what is this secret that no one will ever tell you?  Well, instead of teaching a topic in many ways and showing alternate ways of simplifying, computing, or calculating values, show students just ONE way of doing things.  It is true that students have different learning styles and different students will learn and understand some methods better than others, but in the interest of all students, pick the one way that is most likely to make sense to the most students and only teach this one way. First I will explain the rationale; then I’ll give some examples.  Students who have difficulty with math have trouble understanding and remembering one method of doing something.  The probability that they will listen, take notes, understand, and be able to choose intelligently among the alternate methods for the one that suits them best is very low.  Furthermore, it is highly likely that they will simply mix the methods up in their minds and attempt to do some sort of incorrect combination of them or, even worse, have no idea where to start because they have not seen any one method performed enough times.

66. Cliff Mass Weather Blog: How Good Are UW Students In Math? Jan 2, 2010 The people pushing for reform math are the people who did poorly in math as a student. These people think that they had terrible teachers http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-good-are-uw-students-in-math.html

skip to main skip to sidebar Cliff Mass Weather Blog This blog provides my latest forecast or comments on current weather or other topics Saturday, January 2, 2010 How Good Are UW Students in Math? UPDATE: A similar exam was given in another big lecture class: Earth and Space Sciences 102. Here is the exam and results: http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~cliff/ESS%20102%20Math%20Assessment%20Solutions-1.pdf Unfortunately, there were very similar results, with poor performance on many questions. Thanks to James Prager of ESS for sharing the exam with us. This is a big problem faced by all professors at the UW. As many of you know, I have a strong interest in K-12 math education, motivated by the declining math skills of entering UW freshmen and the poor math educations given to my own children. Last quarter I taught Atmospheric Sciences 101, a large lecture class with a mix of students, and gave them a math diagnostic test as I have done in the past. The results were stunning , in a very depressing way. This was an easy test, including elementary and middle school math problems. And these are students attending a science class at the State's flagship universitythese should be the creme of the crop of our high school graduates with high GPAs . And yet most of them can't do essential basic mathoperations needed for even the most essential problem solving. A copy of the graded exam is below (click to enlarge) and a link to a pdf version is at: http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~cliff/101Math2009A1.pdf

Subscription information Motivating math students with high-preference strategy High-preference strategy, based on the theory of behavioral momentum, is one tactic for motivating students to complete math tasks, according to Intervention in School and Clinic The strategy is especially useful with students with learning and behavioral disabilities. In the high-preference strategy, two or three preferred math tasks, tasks that the student is likely to complete or complete with ease, are presented to the student before presenting low-preference tasks, researchers write. Students are more likely to complete the task not only because they build momentum with easy or enjoyable items, but also because their initial success makes them more motivated to tackle more difficult items. "High-p strategy has been found to be effective in improving a range of social, self-help, transition, and academic behaviors of children with various learning and behavior problems," the authors write.

References Introduction all students achieve academic proficiency. Technology-based innovations can form the basis of effective approaches to help students who have difficulty with math strive to achieve parity with their peers. Back to top Mathematical knowledge and learning To better understand how to enhance mathematical thinking and learning in today's students, especially students with math difficulty, we must first understand the nature of mathematical knowledge. Mathematicians and cognitive scientists appear to agree that at least three basic types of mathematical knowledge exist and are required for the development of mathematical literacy and competence. These three types of knowledge are declarative, procedural, and conceptual. A brief overview of these knowledge types is provided below. For a more detailed discussion of this framework, please see Goldman and Hasselbring (1997). Declarative knowledge can be considered factual knowledge about mathematics. Examples of this type of knowledge are 4 + 7 = 11 or the definition of a square as a four-sided polygon having equal-length sides meeting at right angles. Declarative knowledge serves as the building blocks for procedural knowledge.

Letter to the editor By: Kylene Kiang Daily Staff Reporter Published December 6th, 2002 Can an arc of a parabola inside a circle of radius one have a length greater than four? Paul Wong SARAH PAUP/Daily Harm Derksen, mathematics professor and local supervisor for the Putnam Mathematical Competition, explains a proof during a Problem Solving Seminar yesterday. More like this Stumped already? This is just a sampling of what some of the University's most motivated math students will endure during the 63rd William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition tomorrow. Scored out of a maximum of 120 points, the average score for the Putnam exam is zero. "Most people only score a one or zero on the test. It's almost impossible to get a maximum score. They have to be super smart to achieve that," said Harm Derksen, assistant professor of mathematics and Putnam local supervisor. A six-hour long mathematical marathon, the Putnam competition is a nationwide undergraduate competition sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America. The event consists of an examination on topics common to the undergraduate mathematics curriculum with an emphasis on ingenuity rather than knowledge. This year, roughly 47 University students will participate. "I like competing against others to see how good I am at it," said Engineering freshman Dennis Lu, a Putnam contestant.

Share September 22, 2009 Minority Students Needed in Math and Science to Combat 'Brain Drain,' Professors Say By Libby Nelson Washington Mathematics-education experts on Tuesday urged the federal government to get more involved in recruiting underrepresented minority students to science, math, and engineering majors, saying such efforts are key to increasing the number of Americans working in those fields. At a briefing session organized by Rep. Ruben Hinojosa, a Texas Democrat and chairman of the House education committee's higher-education subcommittee, three mathematics and science professors advocated institutional programs that had succeeded in attracting and retaining black, Hispanic, and American-Indian students. They also recommended that Congress increase spending on undergraduate scholarships and for the National Science Foundation, which they said provides data that are "critical" to understanding minority underrepresentation in math and science. Mr. Hinojosa, calling mathematics "the foundation for so many endeavors," said he would press Congress to consider some of the suggestions, including a proposal to develop mentoring partnerships in math and science between government, businesses, and universities.

Math Problem Solving for Middle School Students Marci bought a school shirt for $4.95 and gym shorts for $5.59. How much change should she get back if she paid with a $20 bill? An airline agent checked a bag that weighed 35 pounds, another that weighed 4 pounds less than the first bag, and a third that weighed 13 pounds less than the second. How many pounds were checked? A plane flew 1,485 miles in three hours. What was the average distance flown each hour? These are typical textbook problems that middle school students should be able to solve with ease. However, many students, especially students with learning disabilities (LD), have difficulty solving even simple mathematical word problems like the ones above. These students most likely have not acquired the skills and strategies needed to “decide what to do” when they are confronted with problems in their math textbooks or cannot apply the skills and strategies they do have to solve math problems in school and in their daily lives. This brief focuses on teaching middle school students how to solve mathematical word problems. The following frequently asked questions provide the framework for the brief.
