Neighbors honor William Sillerys Neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. William Sillery on No. 4 High- way gathered at the Auxiliary rooms of Exeter Legion Hall last Thursday evening to honor them prior to their departure to make' their home In Exeter. Mrs. Ben Case read an ad- dress and Albert Keys present- ed Mr. and Mrs. Sillery with a pole lamp, Mr. Sillery purchased the Jeckell farm in 1922 and in 1932 Mrs. Sillery became his bride and moved to the com- munity. The Sillerys held a farm sale Saturday and will move to Exeter shortly. But later, when they get the Problem of 6 equals x plus y, they'll discover they can take one, two or three sticks to one side to get their answer. Thus, they learn the different "names" for 6. "The whole program is .an attempt to make mathematics more meaningful," Smith told the teachers. "I know some of you think this is utter nonsense, but you will be teaching it in two years whether you like it or not". He explained later that a large proportion of schools will be using the new method in Sep- tember. Some' of the ideas al- ready have been introduced at Exeter school. Aware of some criticism of the new program, Smith said it has centred around the fear that it will involve too much for the children to learn. His answer is that "it involves no more ma- thematics than was on the cur- riculum before—it's just a dif- ferent approach." About 65 teachers from the district attended the workshop, including some from St. Marys, McGillivray, Hayfield, Henson and Zurich. his teacher had given his class some number sentences which form one pf the fAinciainentalS of the new prPgrP-MS. The area teachers learned about it Saturday at an Exeter PS WorkahoP, sPenSbred by the local unit of the women teach,. ers federation. The explanation came fro!la J. E, Smith, Ter, onto, assistant superintendent of ,professional development for the Ontario Dep't of Education. Mr. Smith stressed that "clis- CoVery" is the watchword of the new approach. The childrenare guided into exploration of the number system to find out for themselves how it works. He's enthusiastic about the system. "We haven't heard of any place where this new me- thod has been adopted where they didn't like it," he said. "We find the children a great deal more interested. Qne im- portant aspect is that it creates a completely different attitude in the classroom." The departmental officialde- scribed the method as an at- tempt to provide a "better ma- thematical basis" for elemen- tary school children. It involves precision In terms and procedures, a great deal of emphasis on using different "names" for the same number, the use of "number sentences to solve problems and a great- er stress on the nature of the number system by taking ad- vantage of its decimal nature. Two other aspects which will be "stressed a great deal in the program" are mental arithma- tic and estimating. What does he mean by the use of "names" for the same num- ber? Let's take 6 for an ex- ample. In your day, 6 was 6 and nothing else. Under the new method, 6 can have lots of "names": 3 plus 3, 2 plus 4, 1 plus 5, or 2 times 3. "This helps with understand- ing," states Mr. Smith. "We can rename every number in simple terms. One more example: The prob- lem of adding 38 to 56 becomes easier by breaking it down to (30 plus 50) and (8 plus 6). The "number sentences" to be stressed are similar to the algebra approach, ("but don't give people the impression we'll be teaching algebra," warned Mr. Smith). "We'll be using number sen- tences to solve problems from grade one up." At that level, the problems will be something like: 4 equals x plus x. By using sticks or blocks, the children discover that the only combination of two equal num- bers which makes 4 is 2 plus 2. SQD Is Coming Soon To HOPPER-HOCKEY FURNITURE EXETER TO HOLD PLANT SALE The meeting of Greenway UCW was held at the home of Mrs. Bryden Taylor with 22 in attendance.
