Synopsis

IMPACT (Interweaving Mathematics Pedagogy and Content for Teaching) is an exciting new series of texts for teacher education which aims to advance the learning and teaching of mathematics by integrating mathematics content with the broader research and theoretical base of mathematics education.

The Learning and Teaching of Geometry in Secondary Schools reviews past and present research on the teaching and learning of geometry in secondary schools and proposes an approach for design research on secondary geometry instruction.

Areas covered include:

• teaching and learning secondary geometry through history;
• the representations of geometric figures;
• students' cognition in geometry;
• teacher knowledge, practice and, beliefs;
• teaching strategies, instructional improvement, and classroom interventions;
• research designs and problems for secondary geometry.

Drawing on a team of international authors, this new text will be essential reading for experienced teachers of mathematics, graduate students, curriculum developers, researchers, and all those interested in exploring students' study of geometry in secondary schools.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Pat Herbst is Professor of Education and Mathematics at the University of Michigan, USA. Pat is a former high school mathematics teacher in Argentina and his research focuses on the nature of the mathematical work that students do in secondary classrooms and the work that teachers do to manage knowledge development.

Taro Fujita is a lecturer in mathematics education at the University of Exeter, UK. Originally a mathematics teacher in Japan, Taro currently teaches the learning and teaching of mathematics in primary schools and higher mathematics, and he is also editorial assistant for the International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education.

Stefan Halverscheid is Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Göttingen, Germany. His background is in complex and differential geometry in the presence of symmetries and in research on the teaching and learning of mathematics. He has experience as a high school teacher, has lectured in Teacher Education at Münster, Oldenburg and Bremen Universities, and was Dean of Studies and Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at Göttingen.

Michael Weiss is currently on the faculty of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan, USA. His background is in mathematics education and pure mathematics, and he was formerly a high school mathematics teacher in the United States.
