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.

A thinking student is an engaged student Teachers often find it difficult to implement lessons that help students go beyond rote memorization and repetitive calculations. In fact, institutional norms and habits that permeate all classrooms can actually be enabling "non-thinking" student behavior. Sparked by observing teachers struggle to implement rich mathematics tasks to engage students in deep thinking, Peter Liljedahl has translated his 15 years of research into this practical guide on how to move toward a thinking classroom. Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, Grades K-12 helps teachers implement 14 optimal practices for thinking that create an ideal setting for deep mathematics learning to occur. This guide Provides the what, why, and how of each practice and answers teachers' most frequently asked questions Includes firsthand accounts of how these practices foster thinking through teacher and student interviews and student work samples Offers a plethora of macro moves, micro moves, and rich tasks to get started Organizes the 14 practices into four toolkits that can be implemented in order and built on throughout the year When combined, these unique research-based practices create the optimal conditions for learner-centered, student-owned deep mathematical thinking and learning, and have the power to transform mathematics classrooms like never before.

Heinemann Active Maths' bright and lively Pupil Books have been designed to further consolidate children's learning through independent practice. They are closely linked to the Teacher Activity Cards and each Heinemann Active Maths outcome. Each Pupil Book contains: 'I can...' statements to encourage self-assessment. 'Rocket' questions to extend and challenge children's learning. Teacher Activity Card references so you know which card the Pupil Book pages link to. * This component forms part of the Second Level Beyond Number Starter Pack, but can be purchased individually.

School-university partnerships have the potential to greatly benefit teaching and learning in PK-12 environments, as well as educator preparation programs. This collaboration is advantageous to teachers, counselors, and administrators. Professional Development Schools and Transformative Partnerships provides a comprehensive look at the design, implementation, and impact of educational initiatives between schools and universities. Including cases and research on existing collaborations, this publication addresses barriers and trends in order to provide direction for successful partnerships in the future. This book is an essential reference source for educational leaders in colleges, schools, and departments of education, as well as leaders of PK-12 schools.

One of five textbooks for use in school and at home. Each left-hand page shows methods with worked examples. The corresponding right-hand page gives questions for the student to try. Topics covered include: finding square roots; Pythagoras' theroem; simultaneous equations; matrices; vectors; multiplication and factorization with brackets; quadratic equations; probability; mean, mode, median and range; trigonometry; circles; volume of pyramids, cylinders and cones.

The popular Oxford successful mathematical literacy series has been updated and upgraded in alignment with the new National Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) requirements. The series now offers valuable additional material such as exam preparation and study skills, to help learners excel in formal assessments. The rich, relevant content fully covers the CAPS, ensuring that learners stay interested throughout the year. Features: all chapters and units are ordered and paced according to the CAPS work schedule; a career feature highlights possible future careers for learners, and provides exposure to careers, as well as the qualifications required; summaries and revision exercises in each chapter help learners prepare for formal assessments; practice exam papers are included in this book.

Category Description for Kumon Math Workbooks (1-6):

A math program based on the Kumon method. Basically, the earmarks of this system are:

• Concepts introduced in small, incremental steps, allowing children to master them without confusion
• Single topic books rather than mixed strands. Children concentrate just on addition, for example, before moving to subtraction
• Concepts are taught by discovery method than being spelled out

The series is meant to be self-directed. Students take charge of their own learning on every level. They complete pages, check their work, record their scores, and determine whether to move on or review. The pace almost guarantees success. Children should work a "few" pages a day; assignments should take about 20 minutes to complete. Pages are marked with the skill level required at top and the points each question is valued at (a very young child will need some help totaling points). Very short instruction (or an example) is given on a few pages. For example, there is a short explanation when children begin to subtract a 2-digit number from a 3-digit number where borrowing is needed. However, the child is given every opportunity to intuit this beforehand. By the time he reaches this page, he has already been subtracting double-digit numbers for many pages. Some of these would require borrowing, but, since they are able to subtract, say, 7 from 12, the Kumon method wants the child to see a pattern when increasing to 7 from 22, 7 from 32, etc. This does remind me of the approach used in Miquon as well. Besides these very infrequent helps there are just some small prompts for children to look for patterns in their answers, and words of encouragement. Pages are pleasing to the eye; they are colored, clean, and problems are well-spaced. The Kumon method has been used successfully with children around the world for over 50 years. It does seem like it would help a child to take charge of his own learning and help himself to understanding rather than being spoon-fed each bite. For Kumon math earlier than Grade 1, see the Kumon section in Early Learning.

The book 'National Cyber Olympiad' has been divided into five sections namely Computer and IT, Logical Reasoning, Achievers section, Subjective section, and Model Papers. In every chapter, the theory has been explained through solved examples, illustrations and diagrams wherever required. To enhance the problem solving skills of candidates Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) with detailed solutions are provided in the end of each chapter. The questions in the Achievers' section are set to evaluate the computer skills of brilliant students while the subjective section includes questions of descriptive nature. Two Model Papers have been included for practice purpose. A CD containing Study Chart for systematic preparation, Tips & Tricks to crack Cyber Olympiad, Pattern of exam, and links of Previous Years Papers is accompanied with this book. #v&spublishers
