Reading List

To receive full credit (10 points) for each reading assignment you must:

1) present a summary with your name and the date due in the upper right hand corner of

the first page.

2) present a complete citation prior to the article summary using the example below.

3) present a summary of the information in the article. (I expect the purpose of the article

to be clear and the summary to be well stated in more than one paragraph.)

4) use good writing skills. Plagiarism will earn you a zero.

5) hand in the summary and a copy of the article at the beginning of the class period on

the date due (or earlier).

6) Two of the articles may come from a source other than an NCTM journal.

NCTM journals:

3) Teaching Children Mathematics

4) Journal for Research in Mathematics Education
