This developmentally sound, research-based, practical text speaks
directly to preservice elementary mathematics students about the
multitude of ways they can help their future students learn to see
the power, beauty, necessity, and usefulness of mathematics in the
world.Part 1 deals with guiding principles that permeate the text,
while Parts 2-11 deal with the specific NCTM "Standards" for grades
K-6. "Teaching K-6 Mathematics: "
*is aligned with the current NCTM "Curriculum and Evaluation
Standards for School Mathematics;"
*integrates content and methodology;
*emphasizes use of technology as a teaching/learning tool;
*stresses problem solving;
*provides basic information on current research in mathematics
education;
*focuses on identification of error patterns and analysis;
*uses a down-to-earth, friendly writing style that engages the
student rather than prescribing what to do; and
*includes many activities and exercises, including games, tricks,
and amusements that can be used in the classroom to increase
student interest in mathematics.
Features:
*Technology is integral throughout the text. Students are expected
to perform Internet searches, investigate new sites appropriate for
elementary students, sample new software that could be used in the
classroom, and develop ways to blend calculators into the
curriculum.
*Manipulatives are considered essential for students to learn
elementary mathematics concepts. Cuisenaire rods, base 10- blocks,
chips, number lines, and geoboards are all part of the manipulative
landscape that is created in this text.
*Careful attention is given to blending rote work, developmental
activities, fun, application, technology, manipulatives,
assessment, and planning, so that prospective teachers become
accustomed to using varied approaches and decision making as a
curriculum is determined.
*Tricks, Activities, and Games (TAG) provide a wealth of ideas to
attract students to learning mathematics.

Now available in paperback, Michael R. Lynn's book analyses the
popularisation of science in Enlightenment France. He examines the
content of popular science, the methods of dissemination, the
status of the popularisers and the audience, and the settings for
dissemination and appropriation. Lynn introduces individuals like
Jean-Antoine Nollet, who made a career out of applying electric
shocks to people, and Perrin, who used his talented dog to lure
customers to his physics show. He also examines scientifically
oriented clubs like Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier's Musee de
Monsieur which provided locations for people interested in science.
Phenomena such as divining rods, used to find water and ores as
well as to solve crimes; and balloons, the most spectacular of all
types of popular science, demonstrate how people made use of their
new knowledge. Lynn's study provides a clearer understanding of the
role played by science in the Republic of Letters and the
participation of the general population in the formation of public
opinion on scientific matters. -- .
