Synopsis

Designed for pre-service or in-service teachers, Teaching Secondary and Middle School Mathematics offers succinct, current, and meaningful descriptions of what it takes to be an effective teacher of mathematics. This practical resource offers an effective balance of theory and practice, including a wealth of examples and descriptions of classroom situations.

The units of the book include the nature of mathematics, the curriculum, lesson and unit planning (including a chapter on how technology influences planning), assessment, and the teaching profession. Appendices include reprints of selected NCTM Standards, sample State-level outcomes, case studies, a descriptive list of recommended Internet websites on mathematics education, and over 40 sample lessons and activities from various areas of mathematics.

The 10-chapter format was designed with the professor in-mind. Most colleges and universities are on 10-week quarters or 15-week semesters, so it is practical to assign roughly one chapter per week. Each chapter contains specific outcomes for the reader, a glossary of relevant terms, several discussion questions and an extensive bibliography that contains references and suggested readings.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

 

Praise from Reviewers

 

“Of all the textbooks I review on teaching both middle and secondary math methods, [Dan Brahier’s] is the best. I like his examples, the way he follows NCTM standards, and how he [keeps] up to date with trends in mathematics education.”  —Ann M. Rule, St. Louis University

 

In this extensively revised third edition of Teaching Secondary and Middle School Mathematics, scholar and classroom teacher Daniel Brahier presents concise, current, and meaningful descriptions of what it takes to be an effective teacher of mathematics. With up-to-date research, classroom-tested teaching ideas, and a vibrant writing style, this book provides essential information on curriculum, teaching, and assessment issues related to middle/secondary mathematics. Every chapter includes a contextualizing introduction, scenarios and dialogues for student reflection, recommended resources for further study, and closing activities and discussion questions to cement chapter concepts.

 

New to This Edition:

• New “Classroom Dialogues” features in every chapter prompt reflection on examples of student work and classroom discussion.
• Increased coverage of differentiated instruction guides math teachers to design instruction that meets the needs of all students.
• The six NCTM principles for mathematics education–equity, curriculum, teaching, learning, assessment, and technology–receive full attention in a brand- new chapter (Ch. 2).
• The most recent research and trends in mathematics education–including new technologies, recent TIMSS data, and curriculum recommendations made by NCTM, the College Board, and Achieve–appear throughout the text.
• Completely revamped Chapters 7 and 12 reflect thenewly released NCTM teaching standards.
• A new section in Chapter 8 onteaching pre-calculus and calculus provides an overview for future secondary teachers who may teach these classes.
