Any elementary school teacher will tell you that teaching their students fractions is one of the most difficult exercises that they can perform. At this age the young student’s relationship with numbers is a tenuous one. The standard use of pie charts and colored bar sections while effective for some students, sometimes a more innovative [...]
The final report of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel paid close attention to “proficiency with fractions…for such proficiency is foundational for algebra and, at the present time, seems to be severely underdeveloped.” This webcast, broadcast in September 2008, showcases best practices when it comes to the teaching of fractions. How do teachers and school district personnel ensure deep “conceptual and procedural knowledge of fractions,” as stated by the national math panel report? The webcast features videotaped segments from Dr. Hung-Hsi Wu’s Mathematics Professional Development Institute – the famous “Wu Institute” – an intensive three-week summer course that addresses the mathematics needed for teaching number sense in K-7 classrooms. Also featured are Dr

Students have been crammed into larger class sizes while the quality of teaching has deteriorated, in large part due to a lack of funding from local and federal governments. John Ralston Saul, one of Canada’s most celebrated authors and essayist, has warned us that “Canada’s democracy… is eroding with every dime deducted from education budgets.” I have stated previously that I believe “as a collective we must understand that democracy can only exist in a society with an educated populace, and the right for self-governance can only be obtained through knowledge.” I also believe that as long as the Internet remains Neutral, we, as a global community, can make a difference

We can fill the gap left behind by our governments and be proactive in educating our children Sharing our communal experiences and knowledge is the essence of the Internet and chycho.com is proud to be a part of this movement. The information contained and conveyed through this medium is what will shape our future, and this site was created to represent a unique personal perspective and to contribute in bringing about positive changes. As a result I have decide to produce instructional math videos to help those that want to improve their abilities in communicating in the language of mathematics. The videos are available on Chycho TV Located in the top right corner of http://www.chycho.com.
