The methods for teaching mathematics usually follow the structure
of mathematics. The problem with this is that the structure of
mathematics took centuries of elaboration to develop and is not the
same as how one originally experiences mathematics. Based on
research of how mathematics is actually learned, this book presents
an innovative approach for teaching mathematics that will engage
pupils and can have lifelong benefits for how they take on board
more advanced mathematical topics.Math Makes Sense! makes use of
the realistic mathematics education (RME) philosophy, which bridges
the gap between informal mathematics learning (such as in
day-to-day life) and more formal teaching in school. Many real-life
situations as examples for learning are included, as well as
different mathematical and logic puzzles that will stimulate
learning and foster understanding.The ideas presented are not
confined to one national curriculum and so can be helpful worldwide
to teachers/ instructors (both in practice and those still in
training), private tutors, homeschooling parents, and educational
researchers.

This anthology presents a comprehensive review of mathematics and
its teaching in the following nations in South America, Central
America, and the Caribbean: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile,
Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico,
Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, and
Venezuela. The last summary of mathematics education encompassing
countries from the Southern Americas appeared in 1966. Progress in
the field during five decades has remained unexamined until now.
'The presentations gathered in this book offer plenty of ideas and
advice for anyone seeking to start a program or affiliate with an
existing one. In general, the authors do not compare their programs
to those described in other chapters, but readers of the whole
volume will identify significant commonalties across the various
audiences, processes, obstacles, and outcomes described.Summing up:
Recommended. All readers.'CHOICEThis groundbreaking anthology is a
collection of accounts from leaders in mathematical outreach
initiatives. The experiences range from prison education programs
to alternative urban and Indian reservation classrooms across the
United States, traversing the planet from the Americas to Africa,
Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Their common theme is the need
to share meaningful and beautiful mathematics with disenfranchised
communities across the globe.Through these stories, the authors
share their educational philosophy, personal experiences, and
student outcomes. They incorporate anecdotal vignettes since
research articles in mathematics education often exclude them. The
inclusion of these stories is an element that adds immeasurable
value to the larger narratives they tell.
