Jewish School

A quantitative arts-based study was conducted with high school juniors and seniors at a community Jewish school in Toronto. This group represented a diverse mixture of students who populate the school in relation to gender, involvement in school life and religious denominations. Students were prompted to draw a religious Jew and the images were scored based on five different markers. Of the 35 drawings, only one female was drawn. Additionally, the majority of students drew charedi Orthodox Jews, despite none being present in the study group. The article concludes by addressing the problem with how students understand the word religious and offers suggestions for how to reframe religious identity in a way that reflects pluralism and denominational diversity.

University Mathematics

Some time ago, a freshman engineering student returned to the high school where I taught and described to me some of his struggles with university mathematics. The simplex method of linear programming was one topic that we discussed. This student could perform the mechanics of the simplex method—finding pivot columns, pivot rows, and row reductions; however, he confessed that he had no idea why the simplex method worked to find the maximum point. Moreover, he could not connect the theorems that his professor proved in the lectures with the simplex method. So I asked him this question: “Where is the highest point on the roof, excluding the overhang, of a shed with a plane, but sloping, roof?” He looked at me and was clearly wondering why sheds had anything to do with linear programming.

Explicit Discussion

NCTM's Standards documents (1989, 2000) call for increased attention to the development of mathematical reasoning at all levels. In order to accomplish this, teachers need to be attentive to their students' reasoning and aware of the kinds of reasoning that they observe. For teachers at the early elementary level, this may pose a challenge. Whatever explicit discussion of mathematical reasoning they might have encountered in high school and university mathematics courses could have occurred some time ago and is unlikely to have included the reasoning of children. The main intent of this article is to give teachers examples of ways to reason mathematically so that they can recognize these kinds of reasoning in their own students. This knowledge can be beneficial both in evaluating students' reasoning and in evaluating learning activities for their usefulness in fostering reasoning.
