Download or read book Teaching Mathematics in Grades 6 12 written by Randall E. Groth and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2012-08-10 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching Mathematics in Grades 6 - 12 by Randall E. Groth explores how research in mathematics education can inform teaching practice in grades 6-12. The author shows preservice mathematics teachers the value of being a "researcher—constantly experimenting with methods for developing students' mathematical thinking—and connecting this research to practices that enhance students' understanding of the material. Ultimately, preservice teachers will gain a deeper understanding of the types of mathematical knowledge students bring to school, and how students' thinking may develop in response to different teaching strategies.
Download or read book Mathematical Explorations written by Alan F. Beardon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical Explorations follows on from the author's previous book, Creative Mathematics, in the same series, and gives the reader experience in working on problems requiring a little more mathematical maturity. The author's main aim is to show that problems are often solved by using mathematics that is not obviously connected to the problem, and readers are encouraged to consider as wide a variety of mathematical ideas as possible. In each case, the emphasis is placed on the important underlying ideas rather than on the solutions for their own sake. To enhance understanding of how mathematical research is conducted, each problem has been chosen not for its mathematical importance, but because it provides a good illustration of how arguments can be developed. While the reader does not require a deep mathematical background to tackle these problems, they will find their mathematical understanding is enriched by attempting to solve them.

Download or read book Mindset Mathematics Visualizing and Investigating Big Ideas Grade 3 written by Jo Boaler and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engage students in mathematics using growth mindset techniques The most challenging parts of teaching mathematics are engaging students and helping them understand the connections between mathematics concepts. In this volume, you'll find a collection of low floor, high ceiling tasks that will help you do just that, by looking at the big ideas at the third-grade level through visualization, play, and investigation. During their work with tens of thousands of teachers, authors Jo Boaler, Jen Munson, and Cathy Williams heard the same message—that they want to incorporate more brain science into their math instruction, but they need guidance in the techniques that work best to get across the concepts they needed to teach. So the authors designed Mindset Mathematics around the principle of active student engagement, with tasks that reflect the latest brain science on learning. Open, creative, and visual math tasks have been shown to improve student test scores, and more importantly change their relationship with mathematics and start believing in their own potential. The tasks in Mindset Mathematics reflect the lessons from brain science that: There is no such thing as a math person - anyone can learn mathematics to high levels. Mistakes, struggle and challenge are the most important times for brain growth. Speed is unimportant in mathematics. Mathematics is a visual and beautiful subject, and our brains want to think visually about mathematics. With engaging questions, open-ended tasks, and four-color visuals that will help kids get excited about mathematics, Mindset Mathematics is organized around nine big ideas which emphasize the connections within the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and can be used with any current curriculum.
Download or read book About Teaching Mathematics written by Marilyn Burns and published by Dale Seymour Publications. This book was released on 2000 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About Teaching Mathematics quickly became a much sought-after resource upon its publication in 1992. With more than 200,000 copies in print, it presents information necessary for teachers to teach math through problem solving, to understand the math they are responsible for teaching, and to understand how children best learn math.Now Marilyn Burns has updated and expanded this important resource, including an entirely new fifty-page section, "Mathematical Discussion." Here she addresses many of the problems and activities in the text, presenting the underlying mathematics for each as well as solutions. Another new section, "Extending Multiplication and Division, " addresses how to help students deal with large number computation. Burns has also made numerous changes to the section on fractions and has clarified and reorganized points throughout the book to make her ideas as clear and accessible as possible.About Teaching Mathematics now gives teachers an even better guide for making appropriate and effective instructional decisions. It is an essential resource for all teachers of K -- 8 mathematics.
Download or read book Diversifying Mathematics Teaching Advanced Educational Content And Methods For Prospective Elementary Teachers written by Sergei Abramovich and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2017-02-24 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'What one takes away from this book is the notion that there’s a lot of potential to do more with these students, and the book stands as a resource for anyone who shares that opinion … Books like Abramovich’s are a welcome addition to our options as we try to do our best by these students, and by extension, their future students.'MAA ReviewsThe book is written to enhance the preparation of elementary teacher candidates by offering teaching ideas conducive to the development of deep understanding of concepts fundamental to the mathematics curriculum they are to teach. It intends to show how the diversity of teaching methods stems from the knowledge of mathematics content and how the appreciation of this diversity opens a window to the teaching of extended content.The book includes material that the author would have shared with teacher candidates should there have been more instructional time than a 3 credit hour master's level course, 'Elementary Mathematics: Content and Methods', provides. Thus the book can supplement a basic textbook for such a course by extending content and diversifying methods.Also, the book can support graduate level mathematics education programs which have problem-solving seminars/courses in their curriculum. The book is well-informed with (available in English) the mathematical standards and recommendations for teachers from Australia, Canada, Chile, England, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and the United States.
