Sent: Friday, December 15, 2006 11:02 PMTo: National Math PanelSubject: Not Using Metric is costing the USC Classroom teacher timeSubject: Metric Education in the ClassroomEvery Student who attends college must take chemistry. Each year Ihear Chemistry teachers talk about how much time they waste teachingmetric because it is not taught in the early years.I recommend that the Math Panel issue a strong statement that metricis primary language of measurement and should be taught first in gradesK-8. andThat Colleges of Education at our Universities should have somewhere inthe curriculum a strong and lengthy content on metric measurement. Thatall teachers should be tested on metric measurement.The teacher, especially the teachers in grades K-8, should feel verycomfortable teaching metric. Today they are not. When the doors areclosed the teacher will teach what she or he knows... the old customarylanguage of measurement.We are recycling the problem and your panel has a chance to dosomething about it. I hope you will.Thanks for taking the time to read my statement.Don Jordan, Ph.D. Mathematics Linear Algebra, USCCenter for Science Education
