Download or read book Using Children s Literature to Teach Problem Solving in Math written by Jeanne White and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how children’s literature can help K–5 students see the real-life applications of mathematical concepts. This user-friendly book shows how to use stories to engage students in building critical reasoning, abstract thinking, and communication skills, all while helping students understand the relevance of math in their everyday lives. Each chapter is dedicated to one of the eight Standards for Mathematical Practice, and offers examples of children’s literature that can be used to help students develop that practice. You’ll find out how to: Encourage students to persevere in solving mathematical problems and use multiple approaches to find the answer; Help students reason abstractly with the aid of concrete objects and visuals; Guide students in constructing arguments to explain their reasoning and engage in critical discussion with their peers; Teach students to recognize mathematical patterns and use them to solve problems efficiently; And more! The book offers activities for beginners as well as for more advanced problem solvers. Each chapter also provides guidance for ELLs and students with special needs, so no matter your classroom environment, you’ll be able to use these strategies to make math class more dynamic, engaging, and fun.
Download or read book Learning how Children Process Mathematical Problems written by Ana Maria Klein and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of three years of qualitative research observation conducted in a classroom. Grade five students were observed during their extended mathematics problem-solving class. Data was audio-taped, video-recorded, and analyzed to isolate the language of problem solving. The children work with multi-step mathematical problems that are well-designed. Insights gleaned from the analysis showed the different ways that children interpret what they understand in mathematics. It also shows how they explain their problem-solving strategies to each other. The study shows teachers and teacher-educators positive ways of assisting the problem-solving process. Through multiple examples of hands-on instruction, manipulatives-based learning environments, and well-designed classroom settings, teachers and teacher-educators can help build positive mathematical experiences for young children. The data also shows that students work in a space that requires high concentration and abstraction, and it brings out the fat that youngsters need to communicate about what they're learning.

Download or read book Mathematical Problem Solving written by Berinderjeet Kaur and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2009 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first in the series of the yearbooks of the Association of Mathematics Educators in Singapore. It is highly unique as it addresses a focused theme of mathematics education. The chapters of the book, illustrate the immense diversity within the theme and presents research that translates into classroom pedagogies. The thirteen chapters of the book illustrate how mathematical problems may be crafted and infused in classroom teaching. Several novel pedagogies, such as learning mathematics through productive failure, problem posing and generative activities are presented in the book. The chapters are comprehensive and laden with evidence-based examples for both mathematics educators and classroom teachers of mathematics. The book is an invaluable contribution towards the already established field of research of mathematical problem solving. It is also a must read for graduate research students and mathematics educators.

Download or read book Affect and Mathematical Problem Solving written by Douglas B. McLeod and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on cognitive aspects of mathematical problem solving has made great progress in recent years, but the relationship of affective factors to problem-solving performance has been a neglected research area. The purpose of Affect and Mathematical Problem Solving: A New Perspective is to show how the theories and methods of cognitive science can be extended to include the role of affect in mathematical problem solving. The book presents Mandler's theory of emotion and explores its implications for the learning and teaching of mathematical problem solving. Also, leading researchers from mathematics, education, and psychology report how they have integrated affect into their own cognitive research. The studies focus on metacognitive processes, aesthetic influences on expert problem solvers, teacher decision-making, technology and teaching problem solving, and beliefs about mathematics. The results suggest how emotional factors like anxiety, frustration, joy, and satisfaction can help or hinder performance in problem solving.
