Download or read book The Math Myth written by Andrew Hacker and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2010-05-25 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times–bestselling author looks at mathematics education in America—when it’s worthwhile, and when it’s not. Why do we inflict a full menu of mathematics—algebra, geometry, trigonometry, even calculus—on all young Americans, regardless of their interests or aptitudes? While Andrew Hacker has been a professor of mathematics himself, and extols the glories of the subject, he also questions some widely held assumptions in this thought-provoking and practical-minded book. Does advanced math really broaden our minds? Is mastery of azimuths and asymptotes needed for success in most jobs? Should the entire Common Core syllabus be required of every student? Hacker worries that our nation’s current frenzied emphasis on STEM is diverting attention from other pursuits and even subverting the spirit of the country. Here, he shows how mandating math for everyone prevents other talents from being developed and acts as an irrational barrier to graduation and careers. He proposes alternatives, including teaching facility with figures, quantitative reasoning, and understanding statistics. Expanding upon the author’s viral New York Times op-ed, The Math Myth is sure to spark a heated and needed national conversation—not just about mathematics but about the kind of people and society we want to be. “Hacker’s accessible arguments offer plenty to think about and should serve as a clarion call to students, parents, and educators who decry the one-size-fits-all approach to schooling.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Making Sense of Mathematics for Teaching: Reflecting on Instructional Quality authors Melissa D. Boston, Amber G. Candela, and Juli K. Dixon provide a compelling and illuminating process for focusing on and improving the quality of one's mathematics instruction. With an understanding of the importance of instructional quality to the teaching of mathematics, the authors have focused on building a process that places an emphasis on identifying and improving the aspects of instruction that will have the most impact on students' learning in the mathematics classroom. Recognizing that theory must be supported by concrete evidence, the authors provide numerous strategies and rubrics to assist in implementation and to provide data that will assist in future lesson planning. Furthermore, in the previous books in the Making Sense of Mathematics series, a central premise has been that the reader will learn about the mathematics they are teaching and improve their teaching ability by actually doing the mathematics and that is the case in this book. Readers will rely on the TQE process for guidance as they improve the quality of their instruction, all while building their own understanding and skill with mathematics by actually doing the math they will be teaching"--
