Information on subscribing to the electronic discussion group on developmental
mathematics
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.
