THE mATHENiATiCS METHODS CLASS by Rodney Cogdell The mathematics methods class is becoming a most influential asset to prospective teachers in the mathematics curriculum here at Fayetteville State University. During the six week period of the mathematics methods course this semester, the five student enrollees, (Rodney E. Cogdell, Christine Kindle, Mary J. Hill, Mary L. Moore, and Robert Hen derson), were exposed to the mathematics classroom. Effective means of dealing with classroom discipline problems were highly em phasized. Each individual student in the methods class was given the opportunity to conduct a normal school day of teaching. The class was exposed to the many problems an instructor experiences and by previous class discussions was able to apply some ef fective techniques to remedy these problems. Each enrollee in the course was issued several informative handout sheets from the instructor, Dr. Leo Edwards, concerning teacher- student relationships and means of improving these relationships. Towards the end of the six week period each enrollee was ^ *.1.^ to tutttr students at Washington Drive Junior High School. Thus was a most valuable experience for all members of the class. It is the intention of the mathematics department to allow all prospective teachers of mathematics to go out to various schools during their junior year and tutor students in the mathematics classroom. The enrollees of the mathematics methods course designed projects which they will display in Raleigh, on October 15 and 16. The projects are of string-design nature. In Raleigh, each enrollee will observe other projects displayed from various institutions. The mathematics methods course here at Fayetteville State University has improved and is still improving. With the cooperation, involvement, and togetherness of teachers and students of the mathematics department, this course will prove to be a most valuable asset to prospective mathematics teachers.
