Designs For Learning: Mathematics

Intersession 1977

Instructor: Prof. J. Trivett

This course will be of interest to teachers and prospective

teachers of elementary and junior secondary school arithmetic and

mathematics. ?

To quote Professor Trivett "We shall approach this

task through 'the subordination of teaching to learning', using the

powers and gifts which all participants bring to every lesson." The

main concerns of the course will be how all the topics of the elementary

mathematics curriculum can be learned and taught masterfully and with

joy.

Texts recommended are What We Owe Children, by C. Gattegno and

Games Children Play for Learning Mathematics, by J.V. Trivett.

Requirements: ?

Each participant will concentrate on a special

study-project which provides opportunity for special interest and

concentration within the spectrum of course content

CK-91.

Evaluation of each student's and leader's worth; his/her

accomplishments from the course;

?

the expected value of this for a

beginning teacher - this goes on all the time.

?

For the more limited

purposes of a university grade, extracts will be made from time to

time from that continuum of reality, taking into consideration the

leaders' views of student participation and their own viewsof'work

and growth in learning mathematics and in learning how to teach

mathematics in B.C. or elsewhere.
