With recent changes in the curriculum and standards in language arts and mathematics, parents often are challenged to find ways to help their children be successful in their learning endeavors. While parents want to be involved in their children's education, they are often unsure of their role in their children's learning and the best ways to help their children to succeed academically. Moreover, with the changes in how math and literacy are being taught, parents often struggle with helping even first grade children with their homework. In this book we set out to alleviate this struggle, by offering parents a resource they can use to navigate their child's education, communicate with teachers, and support their children in learning mathematics and literacy. After providing an overview of the current educational climate and tips for communication with teachers, we share strategies and suggestions parents can use to assist their children in language arts and mathematics. We provide detailed descriptions of activities, games, books, and conversations that connect with what children will be learning at each grade level.

This guidebook is for college instructors who teach a course in Introduction to Logic at a teachers college or provide a workshop in this subject for in-service mathematics teachers. It can also be used by high school mathematics teachers for teaching students who are capable and interested in Logic.Learning is based on reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and discussing quotes from that book as a trigger for developing basic notions in Logic. This guidebook includes the student's worksheets with exemplary solutions, the background in elementary logic, and pedagogical comments. There is a student's workbook that accompanies this guidebook which includes the student's worksheets without solutions.Ordinary textbooks for such a course are purely mathematical in their nature, and students usually find the course difficult, boring and very technical. Our approach is likely to motivate the students through reading the classic novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll who was not only one of the best storytellers but also a logician.Click here for StudentaEURO (TM)s Workbook

This volume emphasizes the role of effective curriculum design, teaching materials, and pedagogy to foster algebra structure sense at different educational levels. Positing algebra structure sense as fundamental to developing students' broader mathematical maturity and advanced thinking, this text reviews conceptual, historical, cognitive, and semiotic factors, which influence the acquisition of algebra structure sense. It provides empirical evidence to demonstrate the feasibility of linking algebra structure sense to technological tools and promoting it amongst diverse learners. Didactic approaches include the use of adaptive digital environments, gamification, diagnostic and monitoring tools, as well as exercises and algebraic sequences of varied complexity. Advocating for a focus on both intuitive and formal knowledge, this volume will be of interest to students, scholars, and researchers with an interest in educational research, as well as mathematics education and numeracy.
