Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlie in Fraction City is the latest children's story in the Math MileMarkers(r) book series. This cheerful story uncovers the secret to an in-depth understanding of fractions. It's generally the parts of fractions that get all the attention, but this simple kid-friendly story seeks to set the record straight by identifying the true hero in fraction world, the whole. Math MileMarkers has created an endearing story that addresses some of the foundational skills introduced in the Number and Operations-Fractions, many of which are often misunderstood. In this adventure, a group of lively soon to be unit fractions set out to find their place as part of a whole. Charlie, a highly recognized whole club president, is there to help each fractional piece understand what it takes to be a unit fraction. In doing so, these fractional characters uncover key terms in the fraction world and learn that they really don't know their true value until they find their place as part of a whole. All books in the Math MileMarker series come with an educational component that identifies the learning standards addressed within the story and a narrative outlining the mathematical journey children will take as their learning progresses. Each book closes with a Math MileMarkers section which contains a task or question that a child might encounter related to each standard or mathematical skill. Math MileMarkers were designed to help parents and educators better navigate a child's journey thus helping them successfully arrive at their destination, prepared to take on the challenges of the road ahead. Other books in the series: Miss Penny Says Prove It! and On My Way to Grandma's House. Math MileMarkers: Calm, Command and Conquer the Curriculum(r) A Message to Teachers It is important for readers to know that the Math MileMarkers series was developed to be an instructional tool and not just a read-aloud story. A true curriculum companion to any resource, Math MileMarkers adventures help elementary teachers to unfold the learning standards and high- light key concepts that begin in Kindergarten and connect and resurface through Grade 5 and beyond. Readers should enter these stories asking themselves with each turned page, "What is the math?" You will notice that the characters and illustrations offer visual supports and conversational prompts that children can relate to. Educators are encouraged to take full advantage of the "math talk" opportunities that surface, stopping often to allow the full message and visual models embedded within, to anchor student learning. Equally important, these stories promote the Standards for Mathematical Practice, which includes problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, representation, and making connections. The educational guide offered at the conclusion of each story streamlines important information about best instructional practices, describes the progression of learning that takes place during the elementary years, and outlines misconceptions students typically voice, with real classroom experiences as a frame of reference. In order to fully uncover the in-depth understandings called for in today's mathematical world, we connect each story to specific common core standards that outline what students should know or be able to do at each level within a specific topic. If you are not living in a state that embraces the common core standards, we would be happy to provide you with the Math MileMarkers questions aligned to your specific state standards. Simply contact us and provide your name, email address and state of residency ([email protected], or at www.mathmilemarkers.com). Be sure to also include the name of the Math MileMarkers book you are exploring. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your mathematical journey. I hope the Math MileMarkers series helps elevate math learning to a new level in your classroom and makes instructional time for teachers and students more meaningful and fun

Book excerpt: "Teaching Today's Mathematics in the Middle Grades" provides current and future middle school teachers with the mathematics content, essential concepts, methodology, activities, and resources to both learn and teach mathematics in grades 5 to 8.The authors focus exclusively on the middle school learner and the middle school mathematics curriculum. Although each chapter discusses foundational mathematics concepts from earlier grades and previews topics that will follow the middle grades, the emphasis is on the middle school. This selective focus allows for proper development of critical topics in the middle school such as proportionality algebraic thinking, and the integral role of manipulatives. Assessment practices and problem solving are also emphasized from the viewpoint of effective practices for middle school students. Unique Features React and Reflect features prompt classroom discussions by asking the reader to think independently regarding a statement, issue, or concern. Try This features ask the reader to solve a problem first, or extend the current discussion by working on an extension of a problem. By completing the problem first, teachers are putting themselves in the place of their students, helping the teacher discover first-hand common misconceptions. Numerous exercises and activities appear at the end of each chapter to reinforce student understanding of various topics and ensure mastery of the mathematics content. The NCTM Principles and Standards are emphasized throughout the book, beginning with a discussion in Chapter 1. Each of the content chapters (6-11) opens with the relevant NCTM content standards for that chapter. In addition, marginal icons highlight areas within the text in which the NCTM process standards are discussed. Reviewers rave. . . "From the content, organization, and approach, it is evident that the authors have years of teaching experience. This gives the text authority." --"Marina Krause, California State University-Long Beach""The authors do an excellent job of presenting in sequential order essential concepts, methodology, activities, and technological resources essential to assist [the] beginning math teacher in preparing to teach in the middle school program." --"Gerald Jarmon, North Carolina Central University"

Download or read book Sophie s World written by Jostein Gaarder and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2007-03-20 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
Download or read book Essentials of Stochastic Processes written by Richard Durrett and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building upon the previous editions, this textbook is a first course in stochastic processes taken by undergraduate and graduate students (MS and PhD students from math, statistics, economics, computer science, engineering, and finance departments) who have had a course in probability theory. It covers Markov chains in discrete and continuous time, Poisson processes, renewal processes, martingales, and option pricing. One can only learn a subject by seeing it in action, so there are a large number of examples and more than 300 carefully chosen exercises to deepen the reader’s understanding. Drawing from teaching experience and student feedback, there are many new examples and problems with solutions that use TI-83 to eliminate the tedious details of solving linear equations by hand, and the collection of exercises is much improved, with many more biological examples. Originally included in previous editions, material too advanced for this first course in stochastic processes has been eliminated while treatment of other topics useful for applications has been expanded. In addition, the ordering of topics has been improved; for example, the difficult subject of martingales is delayed until its usefulness can be applied in the treatment of mathematical finance.
