This text provides thorough coverage of algebra and number,
carefully graded exercises to give pupils all the practice they
need, and clear explanations of mathematical ideas to help
understand them.
""If education is to be the learning profession, then we must
walk the walk of learners. The bottom line is not perfection,
constant success, and high test scores. The bottom line is creating
a culture in which learning, innovation, and collaboration are the
norms-a learning culture. When adults in schools create such
environments, children will thrive." "-Lucy West and Antonia
Cameron
How can teacher leaders cultivate an adult learning environment
that will upgrade teaching capacity system-wide, and ultimately
improve student learning in every classroom? Lucy West and Toni
Cameron turn decades of experience designing and implementing
coaching initiatives into a practical resource for transforming
school culture and inspiring true learning at every level.
"Agents of Change" provides coaches, administrators, and
teacher leaders with specific techniques, tools, and strategies for
working with individual classroom teachers to plan and co-teach
lessons, reflect on them afterwards, and find evidence of student
learning. Lucy and Toni argue that when we infuse rich learning
conversations into the professional discourse via coaching, study
lessons, and regular meeting times for professionals to work
collaboratively, we're able to examine what it takes on a day to
day basis to reach every student in our classrooms. The
transformative potential of content coaching to improve both
teacher and student learning on a school-wide level has never been
more clear. Purchase includes free access to an online video case
study. Read a sample chapter

The current global marketplace demands more workers who are
scientifically literate, yet few are being adequately prepared to
meet that demand. Particularly underrepresented are women and
minorities, who often lack the social and academic support that
stimulate and sustain interest in science, math, and engineering.
The authors of this book demonstrate that early intervention,
especially during grades 4 through 8, can help overcome some of
these obstacles. They show how increased career awareness and
exposure to mentors and role models can help students see science
and math-related careers as desirable and viable options. And they
explain how test preparation, activity-based instruction,
cooperative learning, and tutoring can help to improve academic
outcomes. The authors also provide critical information on ten
successful intervention programs, including MESA, Project SEED, and
Operation SMART - and they offer practitioners specific guidance
for developing, funding, and implementing similar programs in their
own schools.

A volume in Research in Mathematics Education Series Editor Barbara
J. Dougherty, University of Mississippi This volume contains the
proceedings of the First International Curriculum Conference
sponsored by the Center for the Study of Mathematics Curriculum
(CSMC). The CSMC is one of the National Science Foundation Centers
for Learning and Teaching (Award No. ESI-0333879). The
countries-China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore (in alphabetical
order, which also happens to be the order of their
populations)-have each been in the news because of their
performance on international tests and/or their economic
performance and potential. They also have centralized education
ministries that create a single mathematics curriculum framework
followed in the entire country.
This fascinating title reviews the teaching and learning of school
geometry from the perspective of both the new teacher and the more
experienced teacher. It is designed to extend and deepen subject
knowledge and to offer practical advice and ideas for the classroom
in the context of current practice and research. Particular
emphasis is given to the following elements:
- Understanding the key ideas of the geometry curriculum
- learning geometry effectively: lessons from research and current
practice
- misconceptions and errors
- the role of technology in learning geometry.

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.
NHM Year 5 Textbook: Uses language at an appropriate reading level.
Places maths in a variety of contexts. Provides problem-solving
activities. Reinforces and extends your pupils' fluency in number
facts and mental calculation strategies.
Teaching Mathematics in the Primary School sets out the nature of
the subject, how it is catered for in the early years and primary
curricula and offers guidance and suggestions on good practice
using a series of generic categories such a planning, classroom
organisation, teaching and learning strategies, Special Educational
Needs and equal opportunities. Whether you are beginning a
teacher-training course or embarking on a career in teaching, this
introductory textbook provides comprehensive information on how to
meet the standards for effective teaching in early years and
primary settings. Teaching Mathematics in the Primary School
provides the reader with an understanding of how mathematics works
as a subject and why it is included in the National Curriculum. It
shows how a comprehensive range of strategies can be employed to
teach mathematics and how to plan and resource high-quality
teaching and learning. The chapters cover key issues such as: how
to monitor, assess and report on children's learning; how to
provide equal opportunities; how to meet special educational needs;
how to co-ordinate the subject; and, above all, how to teach
mathematics effectively. well as checklists and helpful advice.
There are also suggestions for further reading to assist trainee
and newly qualified teachers in meeting the Standards for Initial
Teacher Training and Induction.
Language can be simultaneously both a support and a hindrance to
students' learning of mathematics. When students have sufficient
fluency in the mathematics register so that they can discuss their
ideas, they become chiefs who are able to think mathematically.
However, learning the mathematics register of an Indigenous
language is not a simple exercise and involves many challenges not
only for students, but also for their teachers and the wider
community. Collaborating to Meet Language Challenges in Indigenous
Mathematics Classrooms identifies some of the challenges-political,
mathematical, community based, and pedagogical- to the mathematics
register, faced by an Indigenous school, in this case a Maori
immersion school. It also details the solutions created by the
collaboration of teachers, researchers and community members.
Technologic and virtual development is growing, creating an
environment of online gaming that can be used as an effective and
motivational instrument for math didactics in education. Simulation
and Gaming for Mathematical Education: Epistemology and Teaching
Strategies provides leading research on ways for various learning
environments to be created referring to math didactics through
redefinition and reassessment of teaching experiences. A defining
collection of field advancements, this publication gradually leads
readers through the steps of planning innovative strategies in math
education.
Geometry has never been funnier! Green, funny aliens will help

Taking a community of practice perspective that highlights the
learner as part of a community, rather than a lone individual
responsible for her/his learning, this ethnographically-influenced
study investigates how Latina/o English Language Learners (ELLs) in
middle school mathematics classes negotiated their learning of
mathematics and mathematical discourse. The classes in which the
Latina/o students were enrolled used a reform-oriented approach to
math learning; the math in these classes was - to varying degrees -
taught using a hands-on, discovery approach to learning where group
learning was valued, and discussions in and about math were
critical. This book presents the stories of how six immigrant and
American-born ELLs worked with their three teachers of varied
ethnicity, education, experience with second language learners, and
training in reform-oriented mathematics curricula to gain a degree
of competence in the mathematical discourse they used in class.
Identity, participation, situated learning, discourse use by
learners of English as a Second Language (ESL), framing in
language, and student success in mathematics are all critical
notions that are highlighted within this school-based research.
180 Days of Math is an effective workbook designed to help students
improve their math skills. This easy-to-use fourth grade workbook
