Written Calculation comprises six Pupil Books, six Answer Books, a
Teacher's Guide and a Teacher's Resource Book and uses methods
recommended in the National Curriculum. Designed for use at Key
Stage 2, each Pupil Book uses 18 carefully structured steps to
guide the learner towards full mastery of each written method,
supporting them in their national tests and other areas of the
National Curriculum. Written Calculation also helps pupils develop
confidence and fluency in their learning by practising and
embedding place value, number facts and problem solving skills. The
importance of estimating and checking answers is also emphasised.
Written Calculation: Multiplication 1 leads pupils through the
necessary steps for mastering the column method of short
multiplication and begins to prepare them for long multiplication.
Pupils beginning this book should have an understanding of the
value of digits in two- and three-digit numbers and experience of
multiplying single-digit numbers together. Pupils who have learnt
their times tables will find written multiplication easier. Each of
the 18 steps features the following sections: What to do - detailed
explanations and a worked example; Now you try - questions that are
similar to those in the worked example; More practice - questions
that are a little more difficult and provide less support than
those in Now you try; Problem solving - word problems;
Self-evaluation rating - to help identify pupils who may be
struggling with the step. Three Check-up tests and a Final test
enable you to monitor pupils' progress and quickly convert scores
to percentages. These scores may later be recorded on the Group
record sheet. The accompanying Teacher's Guide provides useful
notes and ideas for planning lessons, enabling a whole-school
approach. Detailed Teaching notes outline clear learning objectives
and a summary of the steps for each Pupil Book is included.
Photocopiable Assessment resources allow you to monitor and assess
pupils' progress. Supplementary Further practice and problem
solving questions can be found in the Teacher's Resource Book.
These photocopiable resources may be used for further practice,
assessment, revision or homework and correspond to the steps
covered in each of the Pupil Books.
THE book for elementary education mathematics content courses!
Designed to help prospective teachers of elementary school
mathematics learn content beyond the rote level, this text
stimulates readers to think beyond just getting the problem right
and fosters their development into thoughtful, reflective,
self-motivated, life-long learners. It stresses the what and why of
elementary school mathematics content. Hints are provided about how
to teach the content but this is mostly left to courses and texts
that are dedicated to that purpose. The text is organized around
the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics' Principles and
Standards for School Mathematics. The Standards dictate the basic
sections of the text. Within each section, appropriate specific
topics are developed, intertwined with technology, problem solving,
assessment, equity issues, planning, teaching skills, use of
manipulatives, sequencing, and much more. In addition, major focal
points of the Standards are emphasized throughout: effective
teachers of mathematics should be able to motivate all students to
learn, should understand the developmental levels of how children
learn, should concentrate on what children need to become active
participants in the learning environment, and should be engaged in
ongoing investigations of new mathematical concepts and teaching
strategies. Mathematics Content for Elementary Teachers is based on
several fundamental premises: *The focus of mathematics education
should be on the process, not the answer. *Elementary teachers
should know the mathematics content they are teaching, know more
than the content they are teaching, and teach from the overflow of
knowledge. *It is important for teachers to be flexible in allowing
students to use different procedures--teaching from the "overflow
of knowledge" implies knowing how to do a given operation more than
one way and being willing to examine many different ways. *Teachers
need to learn to carefully cover the topics to be taught, to
reflect upon them, and to be able to organize them. To help
prospective elementary teachers concentrate on the mathematics
content they will be expected to teach and begin to build the
foundation for the methods they will use, this text includes only
elementary mathematics content and does not address middle school
concepts. Pedagogical features: *The text is organized according to
NCTM Standards. *An informal writing style speaks directly to
readers and is geared to pre-service teachers. *Focus is given to
multiple methods of problem solving at four developmental levels.
*Questions, exercises, and activities are interspersed throughout
each section rather than gathered at the end of each chapter.
*Complete solutions for exercises are provided.

This book illustrates the experiences of elementary school teachers
across one year's time as they participated in a teacher
development seminar focused on mathematics, and as a result changed
their beliefs, their knowledge, and their practices. It explores
these experiences as a means of understanding the learning that
takes a teacher from a more traditional teaching practice to one
that is focused on the ideas and understandings that students and
teachers have of the subject matter.
The work emerges from and reports on a unique data set from a
two-year study of teacher learning that was funded by the Spencer
and MacArthur foundations. The teachers, whose work is at the
center of this study, were participants in the Developing
Mathematical Ideas seminar (DMI), a mathematics teacher development
seminar for elementary school teachers. This seminar is one example
of intensive, domain-specific professional development. In this
seminar teachers study elementary mathematics content to deepen
their own understanding of it, they study the development among
children of the ideas central to elementary mathematics, and they
experience a teaching and learning environment consistent with the
pedagogy envisioned by the National Council for Teachers of
Mathematics' "Principles and Standards for School Mathematics." The
seminar is a nationally available teacher development curriculum,
thus interested educators can gain access to the resources
necessary to offer similar seminars in their own communities.
"Teachers' Professional Development and the Elementary Mathematics
Classroom: Bringing Understandings to Light" will be widely
interesting to a broad audience, including mathematicsteacher
educators, teacher education researchers, policymakers, and
classroom teachers. It will serve well as a text in a range of
graduate courses dealing with teacher cognition/knowledge for
teaching, mathematics methods, psychology of learning, and
pedagogical theory.

As the National Numeracy Strategy (NNS) extends into secondary
schools this book for trainee and practicing mathematics teachers
provides practical guidance on developing effective strategies for
the teaching of numeracy at KS3 and 4 based on the DfEE
requirements.
The teaching and learning approaches suggested in the NNS are
analyzed and explained using case-study examples from secondary
schools. Many of these ideas were developed by teacher inquiry
groups in the Raising Standards in Numeracy project.
The book includes examples of pupils' work; lesson plans and pupil
activities; ideas for using ICT to enhance mathematics; teacher
guidance on both teaching and assessment; and ideas for developing
numeracy across the curriculum.
This book offers an introduction to the subject of numeracy
accompanied by lesson ideas and practical guidance. It will prove a
valuable resource for all trainee and new mathematics teachers.
