THE MATH FORUM INTERNET NEWS
FEATURED INTERNET RESOURCE: MAA ONLINE - TEACHING & LEARNING
http://www.maa.org/t_and_l/index.html
The MAA Teaching and Learning Web pages are designed to
provide useful and thoughtful articles about teaching
mathematics.
- John and Annie Selden's Research Sampler column is called
"Of What Does Mathematical Knowledge Consist?" It begins
with the deliberations of the Summer 1995 ICME-8 Working
Group on Forms of Mathematical Knowing and continues on
from there. The column will appear every three months.
- The Innovative Teaching Exchange, edited by Bonnie Gold,
is a forum for people teaching mathematics at the
college level to share new methods they have tried,
invented, or discovered. Interested teachers are
invited to contribute.
