How can you maximize your students learning as they engage in
mathematics? What does the latest research reveal about developing
mathematically strong and engrossing math instruction? Reimagining
the Mathematics Classroom presents a comprehensive systems approach
to examining mathematics teaching. It synthesizes and illustrates
current research on the essential elements of mathematics teaching
and learning, unpacking each component the classroom physical
space; mathematical discourse, tasks, assessments; and families and
communities and providing concrete practical strategies and tools
teachers can apply directly to their work. In addition, tips on
using technology to assess and enhance learning are embedded
throughout the book. Reimagining the Mathematics Classroom delivers
proven techniques and real classroom examples written or videotaped
to address these and other important questions and concerns with
which teachers grapple: How can I encourage collaborative problem
solving during group work? How do I establish norms, routines, and
ground rules for group and whole-class math discourse? How can I
build on existing textbook problems to make them more rigorous,
relevant, and accessible? What technologies help elicit and extend
students mathematical thinking? How do I assess students in their
development of knowledge of procedures, concepts, and mathematical
practices? How can I transform parental involvement to
collaborative partnerships and joint engagement? Reimagining the
Mathematics Classroom is a resource to explore individually, to
share with a colleague, or to discuss as part of a study group.
Professional development tools, such as those described below, are
woven throughout the text, with supplementary materials (math
problem worksheets, conversational prompts, purposeful questions,
videos, and so forth available on NCTM s More4U website. Classroom
cases in each chapter provide real-life scenarios of the
research-based practices and guiding principles articulated in the
chapter. Math examples from a range of grade levels focus on
concepts that students have traditionally struggled to understand
conceptually. Cases include reflection questions to guide in the
analysis and implementation of these ideas in your own teaching
practice. Every chapter ends with a bulleted list of strategies to
help you follow through on that chapter's main theme in your own
classroom. Reimagining the Mathematics Classroom is as practical as
it is inspirational. It is sure to be a valuable addition to your
professional library.
