Making mathematics concepts understandable is a challenge for any teacher-a challenge that's more complex when a classroom includes students with learning difficulties. With this timely book - updated throughout and filled with invaluable ideas and strategies adaptable for grades K-12 - educators will know just what to teach and how to teach it to ......
Too often, mathematics and science are taught in isolation from each other and from meaningful problems that matter to students. This book draws on the authors' experiences with teacher colleagues, including time spent in their classrooms co-developing and refining lessons. The core of their approach is to encourage learners to pursue solutions to ......
What Is Mathematical Beauty And Can Anyone Experience It?
How is it possible that a mathematician might talk of beauty in an equation more passionately than an artist talks about a painting? And if mathematics is so beautiful, why haven't more of us experienced this beauty? Daniel Pearcy tries to understand what mathematical beauty is, and whether anyone can experience it.

"Margie Pearse and Katie Walton have given us a rich treasury of research-based beat math practices. This book offers practical, engaging numeracy strategies to support our struggling students and sets the bar high for our advanced young mathematicians." -Mary Dunwoody, Director of Secondary Curriculum and Professional Development Southeast Delco School District, Folcroft, PA Transform mathematics learning from "doing" to "thinking" Do some of your students arrive at wildly wrong answers to mathematical problems but have no idea why? If so, they are not alone. Many students lack basic numeracy-the ability to think through the math logically, solve problems, and apply math outside the classroom. This book outlines nine critical thinking habits that foster numeracy and details practical ways to incorporate those habits into instruction. Referencing the new common core standards, NCTM standards, and established literacy practices, the authors include "How Can I Do This in My Math Class...Tomorrow?" applications throughout the book that shows you how to: Monitor and repair students' understanding Represent mathematics nonlinguistically Develop students' mathematics vocabulary Create numeracy-rich lesson plans Teaching Numeracy will help you move your students from simply "doing the math" to a deeper understanding of how to think through the math.
Strengthening Early Math and Science Skills through Spatial Learning
Teach spatial skills to young children-and improve their overall academic outcomes. This innovative teaching resource has the research-based insights and practical activities early childhood educators need to promote spatial development throughout the school day.
This practical guide for teaching numeracy to children with a developmental disability is based on core concepts from the landmark Mathematics Recovery (R) text Teaching Number (aka 'the green book') that have been adapted for children with developmental disabilities. It sets out key principles of teaching and learning underpinning an evidence-based teaching approach and provides clear guidance on how educators can plan and implement a structured teaching program so that every child can be given a positive experience in learning numeracy and achieve significant outcomes, maximizing their potential. The book is supported by a comprehensive set of online resources for use in the classroom, including 90+ lesson plans carefully tailored to provide sequenced learning experiences for children and school students who may need them most...
Supporting and understanding your students' fractional knowledge is crucial to their overall grasp of numbers and mathematics. By centralizing around three key stages of development, this effective guide will help you to assess your students' understanding of fractions and modify your teaching accordingly. These key stages are identified as: Stage 1a: Fair Sharing Stage 1b: Part-Whole Stage 2a: Disembedding and IteratingStage 2b: Measuring with Unit Fractions Stage 2c: Reversing Fractions Stage 3a: Fractions as Numbers Stage 3b: Operating with Fractions As the newest addition to the bestselling Maths Recovery Series, this book will be a useful guide for all primary classroom teachers and assistants, including experienced Mathematics Recovery instructors.
