In Creating a Reggio-Inspired STEM Environment for Young Children,
the newest addition in the Redleaf Press Quick Guide series,
award-winning educator Vicki Carper Bartolini offers practical
suggestions and resources for rethinking your early learning
environment with a focus on STEM, using the Reggio Emilia approach
lens honoring a student-centered, self-guided curriculum based on
principles of respect, responsibility, and community through
exploration and play. Creating a Reggio-Inspired STEM Environment
for Young Children will inspire teachers and give them steps that
they can take tomorrow after reading the book. Includes snapshot
case studies of three programs that have brought their STEM
environments to life.
Exam Board: Edexcel Level: GCSE Subject: Maths First teaching:
September 2015 First exams: June 2017 Problem-solving and reasoning
questions included throughout. Exam-style questions give students
exposure to the sort of questions they will need to answer in their
exam. Problem-solving lessons build up strategies from the Student
Book so that students need to choose the most appropriate strategy.
Mixed problem-solving questions drawing on knowledge from this and
previous chapters in the book give students the opportunity to
practice using this strategy.
Maths anxiety can have a debilitating effect on children’s self-confidence and learning potential, and may eventually even limit their choice of career. Instilling basic numeracy skills at an early age and teaching Maths in a way that engages young learners can go a long way to prevent a life-long fear of numbers. To be successful in Maths later on, children must develop a ready grasp of number concepts and thoroughly master basics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division at a young age. Best Books’ Maths Made Fun series for the Foundation Phase helps to lay a solid foundation with a practise-makes-perfect approach, using innovative activities designed to stimulate young minds. Based on the CAPS curriculum, the New All-In-One Maths Made Fun in Grade 3 Workbook provide parents and educators with a step-by-step maths resource for the whole school year. Practice pages instil the basics that children need to be able to recall readily, worksheets enhance creative thinking and problem solving, and full-colour games serve to further inculcate skills. All the required content areas are covered: patterns, functions and algebra; numbers, operations and relationships; space and shapes; data handling; and measuring. These workbooks are a must-have resource for both the classroom and at home.
With small steps and our carefully crafted questions, every pupil

The Theory of Objectification: A Vygotskian Perspective on Knowing
and Becoming in Mathematics Teaching and Learning presents a new
educational theory in which learning is considered a
cultural-historical collective process. The theory moves away from
current conceptions of learning that focus on the construction or
acquisition of conceptual contents. Its starting point is that
schools do not produce only knowledge; they produce subjectivities
too. As a result, learning is conceptualised as a process that is
about knowing and becoming. Drawing on the work of Vygotsky and
Freire, the theory of objectification offers a perspective to
transform classrooms into sites of communal life where students
make the experience of an ethics of solidarity, responsibility,
plurality, and inclusivity. It posits the goal of education in
general, and mathematics education in particular, as a political,
societal, historical, and cultural endeavour aimed at the
dialectical creation of reflexive and ethical subjects who
critically position themselves in historically and culturally
constituted mathematical discourses and practices, and who ponder
new possibilities of action and thinking. The book is of special
interest to educators in general and mathematics educators in
particular, as well as to graduate and undergraduate students.

Based on the New York Times bestselling book and the Academy
Award-nominated movie, author Margot Lee Shetterly and Coretta
Scott King Illustrator Honor Award winner Laura Freeman bring the
incredibly inspiring true story of four black women who helped NASA
launch men into space to picture book readers! Dorothy Vaughan,
Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden were good at
math...really good. They participated in some of NASA's greatest
successes, like providing the calculations for America's first
journeys into space. And they did so during a time when being black
and a woman limited what they could do. But they worked hard. They
persisted. And they used their genius minds to change the world. In
this beautifully illustrated picture book edition, we explore the
story of four female African American mathematicians at NASA, known
as "colored computers," and how they overcame gender and racial
barriers to succeed in a highly challenging STEM-based career.
"Finally, the extraordinary lives of four African American women
who helped NASA put the first men in space is available for picture
book readers," proclaims Brightly in their article "18 Must-Read
Picture Books of 2018." "Will inspire girls and boys alike to love
math, believe in themselves, and reach for the stars."
