Trailing Our Ancestors
The earliest known ancestor, John McMichael, Sr. was born probably in Pennsylvania. He died 1803 in Greene Co., Georgia. In 1740/80 period this McMichaels family lived in Anson Co., N.C. Shortly before the Revolutionary War, the McMichaels migrated to the Orangeburgh Distr. of South Carolina. In 1788 John McMichael was living in Greene Co., Ga. He had three sons: William McMichael (ca. 1750-1809); John McMichael (ca. 1757-1841); and David McMichael (ca. 1765-1829. Descendants and family members live in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and elsewhere. Ancestors of Sarah Lois McMichael (1906-1991), daughter of Joseph Emory McMichael and Nancy Virgie Maddox.
Rigorous Mathematical Thinking
This book demonstrates how rigorous mathematical thinking can be fostered through the development of students' cognitive tools and operations. This approach seems to be particularly effective with socially disadvantaged and culturally different students. The authors argue that children's cognitive functions cannot be viewed as following a natural maturational path: they should be actively constructed during the educational process. The Rigorous Mathematical Thinking (RMT) model is based on two major theoretical approaches – Vygotsky's theory of psychological tools and Feuerstein's concept of mediated learning experience. The book starts with general cognitive tools that are essential for all types of problem solving and then moves to mathematically specific cognitive tools and methods for utilizing these tools for mathematical conceptual formation. The application of the RMT model in various urban classrooms demonstrates how mathematics education standards can be reached even by the students with a history of educational failure who were considered hopeless underachievers.
