How do you get a fourth-grader excited about history? How do you
even begin to persuade high school students that mathematical
functions are relevant to their everyday lives? In this volume,
practical questions that confront every classroom teacher are
addressed using the latest exciting research on cognition,
teaching, and learning. How Students Learn: History, Mathematics,
and Science in the Classroom builds on the discoveries detailed in
the bestselling How People Learn. Now, these findings are presented
in a way that teachers can use immediately, to revitalize their
work in the classroom for even greater effectiveness. Organized for
utility, the book explores how the principles of learning can be
applied in teaching history, science, and math topics at three
levels: elementary, middle, and high school. Leading educators
explain in detail how they developed successful curricula and
teaching approaches, presenting strategies that serve as models for
curriculum development and classroom instruction. Their recounting
of personal teaching experiences lends strength and warmth to this
volume. The book explores the importance of balancing students'
knowledge of historical fact against their understanding of
concepts, such as change and cause, and their skills in assessing
historical accounts. It discusses how to build straightforward
science experiments into true understanding of scientific
principles. And it shows how to overcome the difficulties in
teaching math to generate real insight and reasoning in math
students. It also features illustrated suggestions for classroom
activities. How Students Learn offers a highly useful blend of
principle and practice. It will be important not only to teachers,
administrators, curriculum designers, and teacher educators, but
also to parents and the larger community concerned about children's
education. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction Part I
