In summer 1995, two high school students, David Goldenheim and Dan Litchfield, discovered a way to divide a line segment into any number of equal parts. Their method differed from the standard method of Euclid. Together with their teacher Charles Dietrich, they wrote an article on their method, which appeared in the January 1997 issue of the Mathematics Teacher (Litchfield, Goldenheim, and Dietrich 1997). The discovery received considerable publicity in the popular media and was written up in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. The authors gave talks at several professional conferences and were invited to meet the secretary of education.

Being Bullied

Research is just beginning to explore the intersection of bullying and relationship violence. The relationship between these forms of youth aggression has yet to be examined in diverse urban centers, including New York City (NYC). This study seeks to identify intersections of joint victimization from bullying and electronic bullying (e-bullying) with physical relationship violence (pRV). This study examines data from the NYC Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), a representative sample of NYC public high school students, to assess the concurrent victimization from bullying at school and e-bullying with pRV, operationalized as physical violence by a dating partner in the past 12 months. Students who reported being bullied at school and e-bullied had increased odds (bullied: OR = 2.5, 95% CI [2.1, 2.9]; e-bullied: OR = 3.0, 95% CI [2.6, 3.5]) of also being victimized by pRV compared with those who did not report being bullied or e-bullied. In logistic regression models, being bullied at school and being e-bullied remained significant predictors of students’ odds of reporting pRV (bullied: AOR = 2.6, 95% CI [2.2, 3.1]; e-bullied: AOR = 3.0, 95% CI [2.5, 3.6]) while controlling for race, gender, sexual orientation, and age. This research is the first to assess the intersection of victimization from bullying and e-bullying with pRV in a large, diverse, random sample of urban high school students. In this sample, students who report being bullied or e-bullied are more likely also to report pRV than students who have not been bullied or e-bullied. This research has potential implications for educators, adolescent health and social service providers, and policy makers to tailor programs and enact policies that jointly address bullying and pRV. Future studies are needed to longitudinally assess both victimization from and perpetration of bullying and pRV.

This study aims to see the strengths and weaknesses of the teacher in the teaching process based on the competence aspects of the mathematics teacher and to describe the situation and state of the teacher's competence when in the learning process in the classroom based on student perceptions associated with the competence of the students themselves. Data processing techniques using data analysis Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The population of this study were junior high school students in Labuhanbatu. The sampling technique used was proportional random sampling leading to simple random sampling, the number of samples obtained was 219 students. Techniques in the data collection process were carried out by distributing a questionnaire on students' perceptions of the mathematics teacher's performance consisting of 48 questions in the form of a Likert scale.

Perhaps inspired by my regular reading of Mathematics Teacher's “Delving Deeper” department, I recently took another look at two sets of equations that I usually give to high school students for practice in discovering and then verifying patterns.

The present Project developed at Escola Família Agrícola Dom Antonio Possamai - EFADAP, aims to report the experimental activities, with the Mathematics teacher together with high school students, thus building rockets using a PET bottle in the study of concepts from physics, mathematics and chemistry, aiming to bring students closer to experimental activities, showing at the same time, the combination of theory and practice, where they would have autonomy to elaborate and test their hypotheses about the chemical reaction used in the rocket. The experiment is proposed to students and the teacher is a mediator of the process of study and application of knowledge, organizing weekly classes, until the end of the project. In the final considerations, the steps that students used to develop the experiment during classes are presented as a result of the development of the activity.
