The Past

During the past decade the mathematical community has been prolific in offering advice to teachers colleges and schools of education concerning the preservice and in-service education of elementary mathematics teachers. Their recommendations, most notably those of the CUPM (Prepararion in Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers [rev. ed.; MAA, 1966]) and the Cambridge Conference on School Mathematics (Goals for School Mathematics [Houghton Mifflin, 1967]), have focused attention on the course content in mathematics currently offered new and senior teachers. It is, perhaps, unfortunate that these committees of mathematicians have not looked more deeply into the rather complex business of teaching mathematical ideas to young children, particularly since the effect of their recommendations so far has been less than overwhelmingly satisfactory.

The application of character learning to elementary mathematics requires certain techniques. In the mathematics of elementary school teachers should use abstract media. Problems that arise in elementary school mathematics teacher in Kecamatan Negeri Katon is lack of knowledge in using props, in this case on FPB material and KPK. In addition, teachers are still confused in choosing the props that should be used on every learning material. To overcome this is used DAKOTA props that can facilitate students' understanding in learning FPB and KPK materials. The method used in this devotion is the making of DAKOTA props using rigid boards. From the results of this devotion activity obtained the spirit of mathematics teachers and the emergence of ideas to make props on other learning materials.

The Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics “expresses the consensus of professionals in the mathematical sciences for the direction of school mathematics in the next decade” (NCTM 1989, vi). It represents a response to the call for reform in the teaching and learning of mathematics. As one familiar with the preparation of elementary school teachers examines the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards, a sense of doom pervades the otherwise enthusiastic attitude toward the reform represented by the document. Many practicing and prospective teachers are not adequately prepared to meet the challenge of implementing the curriculum standards.

Elementary Education Major

The rationale for teaching mathematics to prospective elementary school teachers is quite straightforward. A teacher must obviously have some knowledge of the discipline's subject matter in order to insure adequate learning on the part of instructed students. This is normally accomplished by requiring the elementary education major to take a prescribed number of courses dealing with concepts deemed relevant to the elementary mathematics curriculum. The problem with this procedure is that the college textbook writer must himself arbitrarily decide which concepts are relevant and which are not. The purpose of the present article is to propose a procedure for teaching mathematics to propective teachers that avoids much of this arbitrariness.

The Past

Events in the past ten years have made it necessary and desirable for colleges and universities to increase their course requirements in mathematics for elementary school teachers. There has been little or no opposition to this trend except as one finds it in individual colleges when there is a proposal to change course requirements. In mathematics the change has been in the direction of doubling or trebling the number of credits in mathematics required of prospective elementary teachers.

And Mathematics

The Connections Standard in Principles and Standards for School Mathematics makes the significant observation that “the opportunity for students to experience mathematics in a context is important” (NCTM 2000, p. 66). Literature provides such a contextual base by embedding the meaning of the mathematics in situations to which children can relate. In this regard, the use of literature in the elementary mathematics curriculum has steadily increased over the past few years. The publication of books that specifically feature mathematics, as well as a deeper understanding by teachers of how to integrate literature and mathematics topics, has aided this increase. This article builds on the premise that educators want children to recognize and respond to the mathematics that may be evident or embedded in literature.

The City

The achievement of Mathematics contestants from the City of Makassar is very concerning. In March 2018 elementary school mathematics competition was held. Of the 186 participants from Makassar, there were only 56 students who got scores above zero. Only about 30%. Other students get zero or less than zero (negative). There was a decrease in interest and achievement in Mathematics in elementary school students in Makassar. The solution offered was training for Mathematics Elementary School teachers by emphasizing learning method with playing. This is intended so that children have enjoyed Mathematics from the beginning so that in the future the interest in learning Mathematics will be even greater.

Appropriate training for elementary school teachers who provide instruction in mathematics has been a concern of long standing. This concern has been in creased in recent years as various exploratory programs have begun to exert an influence on the content of the elementary school mathematics curriculum.

Teaching Of Mathematics

High school teacher of mathematicsand I include myself among them—have long been accustomed to criticisms from colleagues at the college level about the teaching of mathematics in the high schools. Occasionally we have reacted to these criticisms by criticizing our colleagues in the elementary school. Yet yea rs of teaching have convinced me that we all, by and large, do the best we can at all levels. Indeed, I have a profound admiration for the elementary school teachers who, facing very broad responsibi lities, achieve great success in all areas, including mathematics.

Cognitive Levels

Problem solving is one of the most important mathematical abilities that teachers can foster in students, as evidenced by its prominent role in NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) and An Agenda for Action (1980). Because of the increased availability of calculators and computers, knowledge of which computations are necessary is more important than proficiency in carrying out those computations. As a result, elementary school teachers are being encouraged and entreated to teach problem solving. However, teaching such a topic at higher cognitive levels is far from easy; the key is to be able to ask good questions. Because excellent problem-solving questions are seldom created “on the spot,” teachers will benefit from writing lesson plans that include questions they can ask at crucial moments, keeping in mind they may not need the questions at all.

Elementary School Mathematics

Colleges and Universities have the responsibility of training prospective elementary teachers in the teaching of elementary mathematics. These teachers must be trained so that they can teach elementary school mathematics for meaning and understanding. In addition to training prospective elementary school teachers, the colleges and universities also have the responsibility of acquainting teachers in-service with the “newer” approach in teaching elementary mathematics. In this article, I will use “elementary teachers” as including both groups.
