People teaching
developmental (remedial) mathematics courses at various institutions are often
isolated and have little information on what's new in the field. To ameliorate
this situation, the Subcommittee on Developmental Mathematics (jointly of the
Committee on the Teaching of Undergraduate Mathematics and the Committee on
Professional Development) has started a web page, a mailing list, and other
activities. The web page on developmental
mathematics is now up and running. This page will include an annotated
bibliography of articles on developmental mathematics and descriptions of
developmental mathematics projects which are consistent with the NCTM and AMATYC
standards. At the
joint January meetings, the committee is sponsoring a contributed paper session
on Developmental Programs That Work, and after the January meeting, the better
presentations will be asked to write descriptions of their projects for the web
page. As
mathematics teaching changes across the world, faculty teaching developmental
mathematics courses must rethink both what should be taught and how it should
be taught. The purpose of this electronic discussion group is to encourage
these faculty members to share their questions and attempts at solutions. This
is the place to share your questions, problems, and successes in teaching
developmental mathematics. For the purposes of this list, a developmental
mathematics course is any mathematics course taught on the college level
(2-year, 4-year, or university) below the level of "college algebra"
or "precalculus": arithmetic, pre-algebra, beginning or intermediate algebra, and (high-school level) geometry. Since the purpose is
constructive, any questions about how to deal with a specific problem,
mathematical, pedagogical, or social, in these courses are in order, as well as
any suggestions for how to work on those problems. However, complaints about
the quality of today's students or school teachers, and put-downs of other
contributors to the list, as well as topics not related to developmental
mathematics, are not in order. The electronic discussion
group is now up and running. Simply send an e-mail to listserv@enterprise.maa.org that
