Numeracy - Professional Reading
In this unique resource, teachers can watch, listen and read about the strategies and underlying key ideas that children use to solve problems. That’s because this is not just a book, but also an eText with 50+ narrated videos.
Author and researcher, Alex Lawson, tells the story of a group of students she interviewed and videotaped over several years. Through her narrative and video, you witness strategies and key ideas develop over time.
Good instruction is integral to developing student thinking and learning and this resources provides a wide variety of easy-to-implement classroom activities that build children’s number sense and early computation skills.
This resource was written in response to teacher requests. They wanted better insight into children’s mathematical development. This is the resource that will help them know:
“What does this child’s thinking tell me about what he or she understands?”
“Where does this child’s mathematical thinking lie on a framework of primary numeracy development?”
“What questions can I ask, or what activities can I do, to help this child move to the next phase?”
Guide teachers to help all Pre-K-8 learners make sense of math
Written by leaders in the field, Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally helps teacher candidates develop a real understanding of the mathematics they will teach and the most effective methods of teaching Pre-K-8 math topics. This text reflects the Common Core State Standards and NCTM’s Principles to Actions, as well as current research. Emphasis is placed on teaching math conceptually, in a problem-based, developmentally appropriate manner that supports the learning needs of all students. Pause and Reflect prompts and Activities engage pre-service teachers as they bolster their own knowledge of the math. Classroom videos and examples of real student work allow teacher candidates to visualize good mathematics instruction and assessment. An important reference to consult throughout a teaching career, this book helps teachers and their students experience the excitement that happens when math makes sense.
Invigorate learning with the Enhanced Pearson eText
The Enhanced Pearson eText provides a rich, interactive learning environment designed to improve student mastery of content with embedded video, assessments, and clickable Activity Sheets and Blackline Masters. The Enhanced Pearson eText is also available without a print version of the textbook.
Developing Mathematical Practices and Deepening Understanding Grades 4-10
Written by Cathy Humphreys and Ruth Parker, foreword by Jo Boaler. Making Number Talks Matter helps teachers have a perfect start to every math class. In a really short span of time (fifteen minutes or so), teachers can provide students with some of the greatest opportunities- number talks can change students views of mathematics. Cathy Humphreys has been instrumental in extending number talks in to the secondary level and has studied their use with High School students as well as with graduate students at Stanford University. Together in this book Cathy and Ruth have developed incredible knowledge of the best wats to teach Number Talks with students of all grade levels.
My Kids Can Making Math Accessible to All Learners, K-5 edited by Judy Storeygard and forword by Deborah Schifter. All teachers of mathematics face the challenge of teaching the range of students in their classrooms. Faced with students who lack confidence and struggle in areas, each chapter of this book looks at the broad principle: assessing students' understanding as a way of making decisions about how to proceed, making the mathematics explicit and helping students become independent learners. This book also comes with a DVD which includes math-classroom footage showing strategies in action.
Banish math anxiety and give students of all ages a clear roadmap to success!
Mathematical Mindsets provides practical strategies and activities to help teachers and parents show all children, even those who are convinced that they ar
