Conservapedia:Critical Thinking in Math (view source)
Revision as of 20:08, August 5, 2007
, 20:08, August 5, 2007course announcement
"Critical Thinking in Math" is an experimental course with three independent purposes in mind:
*sharpen the analytical skills of students and improve their math [[College Board]] scores
*awaken an interest in [[mathematics]] by students who did not realize they had extraordinary aptitude for math, the future [[Bernhard Riemann]]s
*encourage adults to keep their mind sharp through mathematics, and fend off mental decline
*help parents who would like to teach math to their [[homeschooled]] children
The experiment is to use only fundamental or elementary techniques to accomplish the above results. No tools beyond about 9th grade math is required, and motivated students younger than 9th grade will not have difficulty with the concepts.
This course seeks the contributions of both teachers and students to make it is effective as possible. It will be begin in September. Possible topics include:
*a comparative look at different techniques of proof
*major problems that remain unsolved using elementary techniques
*a look at the history of the development of math
*an analysis of what skills [[College Board]] exams test, and how to improve those skills
Please feel free to add other topics and suggestions, and add your name below as a teacher or student interested in this field:
