Understanding and Teaching Primary Mathematics in Australia
Written by experienced teacher educator and author, Tony Cotton, and two Australian primary teachers, Jess Greenbaum and Michael Minas, Understanding and Teaching Primary Mathematics in Australia combines pedagogy and mathematics subject knowledge to build teachers’ confidence both in their mathematical subject knowledge and in their ability to teach mathematics effectively. The book covers all the key areas of the Australian Curriculum for mathematics from teaching number and calculation strategies to exploring geometry and statistics. There are also chapters that deal with the teaching of mathematics in the Early Years, inclusive approaches to mathematics teaching and teaching mathematics using ICT. Stimulating, accessible and containing a wealth of practical ideas for use in the classroom, Understanding and Teaching Primary Mathematics in Australia is an essential text for graduate and practicing teachers alike.
Fundamental Constructs in Mathematics Education
Fundamental Constructs in Mathematics Education is a unique sourcebook which has been crafted from a collection of classic tasks, extracts and texts that have been quoted repeatedly in mathematics education literature. Linked together by the editors'' narrative, the book provides a fascinating examination of key constructs in mathematics education. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines ''thinking about the learner'' and includes the following constructs: constructivisms, activity theory and didactics. Beginning with a chapter dedicated to the classic tasks used by researchers to ''probe'' learners'' understanding, readers are encouraged to try these theories themselves ...
Digital Curricula in School Mathematics
The mathematics curriculum is influenced by digital technology in delivery and practice. This volume, from a 2014 University of Chicago conference, explores changes in curricular materials, student learning, and teacher roles. Experts discuss how technology impacts math education, challenging traditional paper-and-pencil methods.
Mathematics Problem Posing in Action
This book provides actual examples of challenging implementations of Math Problem Posing in school, teaching education settings, and home environments. Firstly, it explains how a teacher educator introduced Math Problem Posing to students using concrete tasks and assessment methods. Secondly, it discusses how a teacher educator worked with school teachers to use tasks, assessed students and to develop more tasks. Thirdly, it describes cases on how a teacher educator and parents used Math Problem Posing at home and in out of school settings. This is a book dedicated to researchers, teachers, students, and parents and also all those who are interested in the use of posing problems for active learning and teaching.
Algebra and Algebraic Thinking in School Mathematics
Examines the status of algebra in our schools and the changes that the curriculum has undergone over the past several years. Includes successful classroom practises for developing algebraic reasoning abilities and improving overall understanding.
The Woman Who Gave Birth to Her Mother
An eloquent and groundbreaking look at women and their mothers by the author of "The Hungry Self."
Thinking Mathematically
Thinking Mathematically unfolds the processes which lie at the heart of mathematics. It demonstrates how to encourage, develop, and foster the processes which seem to come naturally to mathematicians. In this way, a deep seated awareness of the nature of mathematical thinking can grow. The book is increasingly used to provide students at a tertiary level with some experience of mathematical thinking processes.
Focus in Grade 5
One in a series of grade-level publications, this is designed to support teachers, supervisors and coordinators as they begin the discussion of a more focused curriculum across and within prekindergarten through eighth grade, as presented in Curriculum Focal Points. Additionally, teacher educators should find it useful as a vehicle for exploring mathematical ideas and curriculum issues involving the grade 5 mathematics curriculum with their preservice teachers.
