A variety of recent reports have recommended sweeping changes in content and method of teaching mathematics. While many of these reports have been geared to precollege mathematics, their implementation will require changes in the way teachers are prepared in college as well as adaptation to new abilities and attitudes that should be evident in students entering colleges in the future. Graph Theory is an area of mathematics that is particularly well-suited to non-traditional methods of teaching. It is also one of the topics recommended for inclusion in high school mathematics courses. This presentation will include information from two reports from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Mathematical Sciences Education Board, along with ideas for incorporating discovery-method learning into Graph Theory classes. |
