A Volume in The Montana Mathematics Enthusiast: Monograph Series in Mathematics EducationSeries Editor Bharath Sriraman, The University of MontanaInterdisciplinarity is increasingly viewed as a necessary ingredient in the training of future oriented 21st century disciplinesthat rely on both analytic and synthetic abilities across disciplines. Nearly every curricular document or vision statement ofschools and universities include a call for promoting creativity in students. Yet the construct of creativity and giftednessacross disciplines remains elusive in the sense that the prototypical examples of such work come from eminent scientists, artists and mathematicians, and little if any work has been conducted with non-eminent individuals. This monograph is anattempt to fill this gap by putting forth the view that interdisciplinarity and creativity are related constructs, and that thecultivation of domain general creativity is possible. Mathematics has historically been anchored to numerous disciplineslike theology, natural philosophy, culture and art, allowing for a flexibility of thought that is difficult to cultivate in otherdisciplines. In this monograph, the numerous chapters from Australia, U.S.A., Canada, Cyprus, Denmark and Japanprovide a compelling illustration of the intricate connection of mathematics with literature, paradoxes, history, technologyand modeling, thus serving as a conduit for interdisciplinarity, creativity and learning to occur.

Structured around Bishop's six fundamental mathematical activities, this book brings together examples of mathematics education from a range of countries to help readers broaden their view on maths and its interrelationship to other aspects of life. Considering different educational traditions and diverse contexts, and illustrating theory through the use of real-life vignettes throughout, this book encourages readers to review, reflect on, and critique their own practice when conducting activities on explaining, counting, measuring, locating, designing, and playing. Aimed at early childhood educators and practitioners looking to improve the mathematics learning experience for all their students, this practical and accessible guide provides the knowledge and tools to help every child.

This open access book is based on selected presentations from Topic Study Group 21: Mathematical Applications and Modelling in the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics at the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME 13), held in Hamburg, Germany on July 24-31, 2016. It contributes to the theory, research and teaching practice concerning this key topic by taking into account the importance of relations between mathematics and the real world. Further, the book addresses the "balancing act" between developing students' modelling skills on the one hand, and using modelling to help them learn mathematics on the other, which arises from the integration of modelling into classrooms. The contributions, prepared by authors from 9 countries, reflect the spectrum of international debates on the topic, and the examples presented span schooling from years 1 to 12, teacher education, and teaching modelling at the tertiary level. In addition the book highlights professional learning and development for in-service teachers, particularly in systems where the introduction of modelling into curricula means reassessing how mathematics is taught. Given its scope, the book will appeal to researchers and teacher educators in mathematics education, as well as pre-service teachers and school and university educators

In this engaging text, Michael Weiss offers an advanced view of the secondary mathematics curriculum through the prism of theory, analysis, and history, aiming to take an intellectually and mathematically mature perspective on the content normally taught in high school mathematics courses. Rather than a secondary mathematics textbook, Weiss presents here a textbook about the secondary mathematics curriculum, written for mathematics educators and mathematicians and presenting a long-overdue modern-day integration of the disparate topics and methods of secondary mathematics into a coherent mathematical theory. Areas covered include: Polynomials and polynomial functions; Geometry, graphs, and symmetry; Abstract algebra, linear algebra, and solving equations; Exponential and logarithmic functions; Complex numbers; The historical development of the secondary mathematics curriculum. Written using precise definitions and proofs throughout on a foundation of advanced content knowledge, Weiss offers a compelling and timely investigation into the secondary mathematics curriculum, relevant for preservice secondary teachers as well as graduate students and scholars in both mathematics and mathematics education.

How can early years practitioners help young children to become not only numerate but aspiring mathematicians who love numbers, shapes and mathematical comparisons? The introduction of the Foundation Stage has led to practitioners seeking ways to teach maths which are more in line with the creative and playful ways young children learn other subjects. Linda Pound draws on current thinking about children's mathematical development to show how you can encourage and enhance the numeracy skills of any child in the early years by linking maths to every-day life situations and making it a playful and enjoyable cross-curricular activity.This highly practical and engaging text includes chapters on: why maths is often seen as 'hard' and what practitioners can do to help young children be more successful; exploring shapes, space, measures and patterns; how to make maths more fun and playful, using games, humour, stories and rhymes; using music and dance to enhance mathematical understanding; encouraging children to see the connection between maths and everyday experiences through, for example sorting, matching and guessing; and, creating an environment for mathematical development, indoors and out. Concluding with a chapter on how practitioners and parents can become more confident in their use of maths, this user-friendly text, packed full of ideas, is essential reading for practitioners in any early years setting. Students on Early Education courses will also find much here to inspire them.

Teaching Mathematics: Foundation to Senior Phase is the second edition of the first South African text on mathematics methodology. It includes reference to the South African mathematics syllabus as contained in the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) and focuses on typical challenges faced in the mathematics classroom in South Africa and southern African countries. Teaching Mathematics also contributes to the Africanisation of the discipline of mathematics education by stimulating thought and research about African perspectives and indigenous knowledge, including the language of location and the importance of using place-based examples in the classroom. The text makes use of African contexts in the teaching of mathematics, using African examples to which learners can relate, such as local names, artefacts, and elements of cultural heritage. Teaching Mathematics has a unique structure that takes readers through the stages of how learners learn mathem at ics, and how to teach mathematics, before drilling down to specific themes. The book provides practical pedagogy that will connect student teachers to the bigger picture of mathematics. This textbook will encourage student teachers to feel positive about mathematics and their role in teaching it, and to enter the classroom confident that they are equipped with the practical knowledge, skills and strategies for teaching mathematics.
