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.
