Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to recent ACT scores, http: //www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/08/21/act-scores-fall-lowest-level-five-years (accessed on Aug. 24, 2013) about three-quarters of U.S. high-school graduates are not ready for college-level mathematics courses. No wonder, remedial mathematics classes are so widespread nationwide: far too many incoming students are not prepared for college-level courses. One reason for this unpreparedness is a lack of substantive knowledge in mathematics. Another, perhaps even a more important reason, is that students lack the necessary skills and habits required for successful study of mathematics. Based on the author's 50+ year-experience of teaching mathematics at all levels, from elementary school to community college, undergraduate, and graduate levels, the goal of this book is to teach the readers the absolutely minimal mathematical content required to successfully take college-level mathematics classes. This is a textbook for college courses in remedial mathematics, which are taught, under different names, at the many of American colleges. However, it is not another book in Developmental Mathematics. The latter mostly neglect geometry, trigonometry, and never pay attention to elementary functions. However, these topics are crucial for a student's success at college and, therefore, these topics are treated here as fully as possible within the power of the book's intended readership and the book volume. The book is also useful for high school students preparing for a college. This is also a textbook for students, who studied at high school, maybe several years back, and now have to quickly recover and/or study anew some rudimentary elementary mathematics, so that they can pass the college level classes necessary for their major. As illustrations of basic arithmetic and elementary algebraic concepts, certain notions of the elementary statistics are introduced. This is useful for the students who do not need a calculus, but almost sure will have to take a class in statistics. The author's experience shows that the students' troubles in calculus begin not in high school, but in elementary school and even at the kindergarten level. Hence the book starts with a very detailed explanation of the arithmetic of whole numbers. The author's teaching creed is 'explain by examples', and every new notion is introduced and illustrated by several elementary examples. Moreover, the text also provides certain helpful concepts, which are mostly neglected in high-school teaching, such as how to study mathematics, what is mathematical parlance, how to read a mathematical textbook, etc. The book tries not only to provide certain results and skills, but to engage the reader into thinking about the subject. The author tried to make the book user-friendly. The text contains about 500 exercises for the readers to practice, and gives answers to all of the exercises. In addition to the standard index of key terms, the book contains the index "How to" of presented algorithms, such as "How to add fractions," "How to solve quadratic equations," etc. The target audience is undergraduate freshmen, enrolled in remedial mathematics courses. At my Bronx Community College/CUNY, which is a typical school, every year about 85% of incoming students must take at least one remedial mathematics class. And every year the Department struggles to find good books for our three remedial courses. This book covers any possible remedial mathematics class. It may also be useful for high-school students, preparing for college. Moreover, based on my experience, the book can also be useful to many elementary school teachers. Based on my significant experience with our foreign students, I'm sure that this book, which shows what the future students of American colleges and universities must know, has a huge market in Asia and Africa.
Download or read book Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics written by Liping Ma and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-03-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of teachers in the U.S. often document insufficient subject matter knowledge in mathematics. Yet, these studies give few examples of the knowledge teachers need to support teaching, particularly the kind of teaching demanded by recent reforms in mathematics education. Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics describes the nature and development of the knowledge that elementary teachers need to become accomplished mathematics teachers, and suggests why such knowledge seems more common in China than in the United States, despite the fact that Chinese teachers have less formal education than their U.S. counterparts. The anniversary edition of this bestselling volume includes the original studies that compare U.S and Chinese elementary school teachers’ mathematical understanding and offers a powerful framework for grasping the mathematical content necessary to understand and develop the thinking of school children. Highlighting notable changes in the field and the author’s work, this new edition includes an updated preface, introduction, and key journal articles that frame and contextualize this seminal work.

Download or read book How Math Works written by G. Arnell Williams and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We hear all the time how American children are falling behind their global peers in various basic subjects, but particularly in math. Is it our fear of math that constrains us? Or our inability to understand math’s place in relation to our everyday lives? How can we help our children better understand the basics of arithmetic if we’re not really sure we understand them ourselves? Here, G. Arnell Williams helps parents and teachers explore the world of math that their elementary school children are learning. Taking readers on a tour of the history of arithmetic, and its growth into the subject we know it to be today, Williams explores the beauty and relevance of mathematics by focusing on the great conceptual depth and genius already inherent in the elementary mathematics familiar to us all, and by connecting it to other well-known areas such as language and the conceptual aspects of everyday life. The result is a book that will help you to better explain mathematics to your children. For those already well versed in these areas, the book offers a tour of the great conceptual and historical facts and assumptions that most simply take for granted. If you are someone who has always struggled with mathematics either because you couldn’t do it or because you never really understood why the rules are the way they are, if you were irritated with the way it was taught to you with the emphasis being only on learning the rules and “recipes” by rote as opposed to obtaining a good conceptual understanding, then How Math Works is for you!
