Welcome

Use this guide to find and evaluate information and resources related to mathematics.

Mathematics is the science of reasoning and comes from the Greek word máthēma meaning "that which is learnt", "what one gets to know", hence also "study" and "science". Mathematics includes the study of such topics as quantity (number theory), structure (algebra), space (geometry), and change (mathematical analysis). It has no generally accepted definition. Practical mathematics has been a human activity from as far back as written records exist. Mathematics is essential in many fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, finance, and the social sciences. Applied mathematics has led to entirely new mathematical disciplines, such as statistics and game theory. Source: Wikipedia

A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction
May be useful for lower-level math courses. A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction is an integrated approach to mathematics that centers Black, Latinx, and Multilingual students in grades 6-8, addresses barriers to math equity, and aligns instruction to grade-level priority standards. The Pathway offers guidance and resources for educators to use now as they plan their curriculum, while also offering opportunities for ongoing self-reflection as they seek to develop an anti-racist math practice.

Seeking a Better Math Solution, Southeast Missouri University (SEMO)
In 2017, Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO) campus leaders were getting an earful from students and parents about the unreasonable cost of the online homework system required for math courses. Additionally SEMO math professors were dissatisfied with the reliability of the system they were using and frustrated that it was not set up to integrate well with the university’s learning management system, Moodle. When these problems became too painful to ignore, university leaders directed the math department to find an alternative. After evaluating platform features and template courses available in Lumen Online Homework Manager (OHM), SEMO math faculty decided to move forward with this solution in 2018. Key drivers of the decision include its low cost ($25), system flexibility to support effective course and assessment design, excellent user support, and outstanding LMS integration. Their department-wide adoption uses Lumen Online Homework Manager (OHM) for 12 different math courses, corequisite supports for some courses, and a math placement exam.
