This research-activity project was funded jointly by the National Center for Research in Mathematical Sciences Education (NCRMSE) at the University of Wisconsin- Madison and the Research Group on Mathematics Education at the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands. The project focused on an approach to classroom instruction in relation to the NCTM's curriculum and evaluation standards. Two sets of materials for students and teachers- Data Visualization and Matrices- were developed in The Netherlands and were used by all students in all algebra classes at Whitnall High School in Greenfield, Wisconsin. Observations and interviews were conducted by an observer from the center at Utrecht.

As part of the project Design, Development and Assessment in Mathematics Education, I spent four weeks at Whitnall High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, testing a booklet on descriptive statistics called Data Visualization (Freudenthal Institute 1989). This textbook was developed in 1989 by the Freudenthal Institute's Research Group on Mathematics Education of the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands in cooperation with Gail Burrill of Whitnall High School. Especially written for this project, the booklet is based on the NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards (1989) and on the philosophy of “realistic mathematics education” developed by the research group of Utrecht University.

To begin, I wish to thank the Academy of Toxicological Sciences for bestowing this honor on me. I have had a rewarding career in basic research and clinical medicine, beginning with research in high school and always planning on becoming a physician. I have had the good fortune of having outstanding mentors, wonderful parents, and a supportive and intuitive wife and family. This article provides a brief overview of some of the events of my career and individuals who have played a major role, beginning with the M.D./Ph.D. program at the University of Wisconsin, pathology residency and faculty at St. Vincent Hospital, Worcester, Massachusetts, a year as visiting professor at Nagoya City University, and my career at the University of Nebraska Medical Center since 1981. This could not have happened without the strong input and support from these individuals, the numerous students, residents and fellows with whom I have learned so much, and the more than 500 terrific collaborators.

This is the eleventh of a series of annual listings of research concerned with elementary school mathematics. During the very important period of change in elementary mathematics education from 1957 to 1966 the summaries were compiled by Dr. J. Fred Weaver of the University of Wisconsin.1 We hope that this listing will prove to be as valuable as the previous ones.2

Mathematics education has few giants. It lost one on 28 May when William A. Brownell died in Walnut Creek, California, at the age of 82. William Arthur Brownell was born on 19 May 1895 in Smethport, Pennsylvania. He went through elementary and high school in Smethport and then entered Allegheny College, where he received the A.B. in 1917. After graduation, he returned to his hometown to teach at the local high school for four years. Then he went to Illinois to begin graduate work in educational psychology at the University of Chicago.

The Impact

After an incident of anti-Semitism occurring at the Baraboo (WI) High School, the Baraboo community initiated a Community Action Plan. Baraboo Reads, a collaborative effort between the University of Wisconsin-Platteville Baraboo Sauk County campus, Baraboo Public Library, Baraboo High School library, and middle school library, became a part of that action plan. As an academic librarian, I was involved in the planning, budgeting, and selection for Baraboo Reads. The Baraboo Reads was a complacent failure, but there is much to be learned about the impact of these types of incidents on small communities and how larger efforts toward inclusivity can be learned from such failures.

Data Collection Instrument

This research is a development research (RnD) where the stages in its implementation are 4D steps, namely Define, Design, Development and Dessimination. The data collection instrument used observation, interview and closed questionnaire distribution to 30 respondents (high school students). Product testing is carried out through the justification of two experts who are in charge of escorting the product to be produced. Before the product is tested on the respondent, it is very important that consulting activities with these experts maintain the direction and steps taken in accordance with the original objectives. The experts involved in this research activity are one expert in learning pencak silat and one expert in learning media.The data analysis used is descriptive in which expert judgment and respondent's assessment will determine the final product result. This product has been assessed by respondents through questionnaires where the score obtained is 53.11 when converted, the resulting product gets the predicate "Eligible". In addition to the assessment using a questionnaire, the researcher also asked the respondents for suggestions / input for the sake of product perfection.

The Mathematics in Contrat (MiC) project is an NSF-funded project carried out by the University of Wisconsin—Madison and the Freudenthal institute of Utrecht University in the Netherlands. The purpose of the MiC project is to create a comprehensive mathematics curriculum for grades 5 through 8 that reflects the content and pedagogy suggested by the NCTM's Curriculum amd Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989). The materials being developed are based on the beliefs that mathematics should make sense to students and that mathematics is used to make sense of the world around us. The philosophy is based on the theory of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), as developed at the Freudenthal Institute in the past decades, and on the belief that mathematics is fallible, changing, and, like any other body of knowledge, the product of human inventiveness. In the MiC project, the content is organized into four combined strands—number, algebra, geometry, and statistics and probability. Over forty instructionl units spread out over the four strands have been developed.
