Editorial Review Product Description Volume I, entitled Russian Mathematics Education: History and World Significance, consists of several chapters written by distinguished authorities from Russia, the United States and other nations. It examines the history of mathematics education in Russia and its relevance to mathematics education throughout the world. The second volume, entitled Russian Mathematics Education: Programs and Practices will examine specific Russian programs in mathematics, their impact and methodological innovations. Although Russian mathematics education is highly respected for its achievements and was once very influential internationally, it has never been explored in depth. This publication does just that. |

Editorial Review Product Description “It is fun to figure out the puzzle of how children go about making sense of mathematics and then how to help teachers help kids.” John A. Van de Walle, Late of Virginia Commonwealth University This is the philosophy behind Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally. John A. Van de Walle wrote this book to help students understand mathematics and become confident in their ability to teach the subject to children in kindergarten through eighth grade. Although he could not have foreseen the changes in mathematics teaching over the last three decades, he was at the forefront of the movement towards a constructivist view of teaching, or teaching developmentally. Constructivism says that children construct their own knowledge. They are not blank slates waiting to absorb whatever the teacher tells them. Teachers must understand both mathematics itself and how students learn mathematics in order to teach it effectively. Learning through problem solving is another major theme of this book. Students solve problems not just to apply mathematics, but also to learn new mathematics. Effective problems will take into account where students are, the problematic or engaging aspect of the problem must be due to the mathematics that the students are to learn and not be diluted by non-mathematical activities such as cutting or pasting, and the problem must require justifications and explanations for answers and methods. Learning then becomes an outcome of the problem solving process. The book also addresses in more detail than any other book on the market the effect that the trends of standards-based education, increased pressure to test, and increased teacher accountability have had on teaching mathematics. He addresses the 2000 NCTM Standards in depth, in Chapter 1 on Teaching Mathematics in the Era of the NCTM Standards, through the NCTM icon that appears in the margins throughout the text, and in two appendices in the back of the book. Chapter 5 on Building Assessment into Instruction has also been heavily revised to focus on increased testing pressure, creating more explicit links between objectives and assessment, and including assessments for students with special needs. Additionally, samples of Pearson's reformed-based curricula, Connnected Math Project (5-8) as well as Investigations (K-4), are featured in the text and on the myeducationlab site. Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally is a book for doing math today–for both students who want to become teachers, and the students they will eventually teach. New To This Edition: NEW! Revises Chapter 5 on assessment--Discusses increased testing pressure and accountability, adds more information on equitable assessments, creates more explicit links between objectives and assessment, and includes assessments for students with special needs. NEW! Updates the Literature Connections feature to remove all out of print children’s literature and include more non-fiction, poetry, and other types of readings. NEW! Weaves the Focal Points throughout the chapters as well as links them with the Big Ideas feature–Focal Points have also been added to the Appendix. NEW! Includes expanded coverage of working with diverse learners. NEW! Gives greater emphasis on dealing with math anxiety. Customer Reviews (39)

list price: US$34.95 -- used & new: US$29.86 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0415965020 Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description This exciting text for the pre-service elementary teacher provides hands on mathematics lessons they can use to introduce mathematical concepts and skills that students find particularly challenging. Each chapter is divided into four sections: By providing models of what excellent lessons on a given topic look like, knowledge of the mathematics involved, and a concrete lesson plan structure this much-needed resource is the definitive mathematics planning vehicle that every teacher will want before they set foot in their own elementary classroom. |

Editorial Review Product Description Customer Reviews (1)
"Breaking the Barriers" breaks the molds The importance of women and minorities in these fields is clearlydocumented, as are the factors that otherwise dissuade them fromparticipating.Perhaps more importantly, though, the authors outline stepsthat should be taken to remedy this problem.Guidelines for teachers andadministrators, as well as outside program directors, are well organizedand easily accessible within the chapters.We learn the best techniquesand environments for teaching, as well as names and goals of programsalready established to give examples of these theories in practice. Myone problem with the book is that at times, it seemed to stereotype andgeneralize a bit too much, which is unfortunate, given the tone of advocacyof the book.However, the book is easily forgiven and extremely helpful. If you're a teacher, this book reminds you that you have a diverse andrich audience, and should teach accordingly.If you're a principal, itreminds you what values to instill in your staff.And if you're a student,it reminds you that you should expect only the best, both from youreducators and from yourself, no matter who you are or what you've beentold. ...

A (sadly) revolutionary idea in math education...Research! It should be clear from the title of this book that its brief 93 pages would be about mathematical proficiency for all students.Further, its subtitle would lead us to believe it will develop this through a proposal for a research and development program within mathematics education.In the first few pages, it becomes perfectly clear that the Research and Development Program the authors are suggesting doesn't vary much from the R&D Programs that private sector businesses are continually running. At first, you'll wonder why this book was ever written.Haven't we been doing research about mathematics education for as long as we've been educating students about mathematics?The answer is a quiet "not really."To be exact, this book is revolutionary because it considers a program that would bring real, scientific data about mathematics education to educators in a meaningful way. By focusing a realistically considered budget, the author proposes a program researching three key areas: The development and use of teachers' mathematical knowledge, teaching and learning mathematical practices, and teaching and learning algebra in kindergarten through 12th grade.The proposed program would focus its energy on these three areas and develop useful theories, curricula, and materials over the course of a 10-15 year period.At the end of this time, the group would have developed all of the knowledge necessary to help all teachers teach algebra effectively to all students. This book is absolutely wonderful.The book is only a blueprint for this program, and hence doesn't offer solutions.Rather it provides an extremely well thought out path to reach these solutions.I would highly recommend it to anyone in the field of mathematics education, as we should all hope that this will be the future of mathematics education. ...

Editorial Review Product Description This book compiles and synthesizes existing research on teachers’ use of mathematics curriculum materials and the impact of curriculum materials on teaching and teachers, with a particular emphasis on – but not restricted to – those materials developed in the 1990s in response to the NCTM’s Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Despite the substantial amount of curriculum development activity over the last 15 years and growing scholarly interest in their use, the book represents the first compilation of research on teachers and mathematics curriculum materials and the first volume with this focus in any content area in several decades. |
