Functional Equations
Functional equations provides mathematics teachers with an introduction to elementary aspects of functional equations. These equations are linked to function in various topics of the senior secondary mathematics curriculum including transformations, identities difference equations and mathematical modelling.
The Name of the Number
Looks at the history and anthropology of the expression of numbers throughout the ages and across different cultures. It deals with the different ways that number representation has been structured, the history and prehistory of number concepts, and the evolution of numerical representation (in word and symbol). These themes are explored through the various expressions of number-concepts in different cultures in different places and times.
Complex Numbers and Vectors
Complex Numbers and Vectors is an informative resource for advanced mathematics teachers or students undertaking advanced maths courses that draws on the power of intrigue and uses appealing applications.
Matrices
This book provides mathematics teachers with an elementary introduction to matrix algebra and its uses.
Data Analysis Applications
This teacher resource guide provides mathematics teachers with a comprehensive, informal introduction to data analysis and its applications, drawing on classical and contemporary perspectives of statistics. The material is developed in a conversational style through a range of sample contexts, and will provide teachers of secondary mathematics with a practical insight into the key ideas and processes of data analysis. The approach includes the active use of technology with real data to support exploratory, descriptive, and inferential aspects of statistics. In particular, the book will be a valuable reference and resource for teachers of courses that include substantial data analysis. The content covers key statistical concepts, issues in statistics, uni-variate and bi-variate categorical and numerical data, data transformation, and writing a statistical report, with related student activities and solution notes for each chapter.
Growing Ideas of Number
This book explores the notion of how number ideas, and ideas of number, have grown from ancient to modern times throughout history. It looks at how different types of number and views of numbers (and their meaning and applications) have varied across cutures over time, and combines historical consideration with the mathematics. The book illustrates some of the real problems and subtleties of number, including counting, calculation, measuring and using machines, which ancient and modern people have grappled with - and continue to do so today.
The Future of the Teaching and Learning of Algebra
Kaye Stacey‚ Helen Chick‚ and Margaret Kendal The University of Melbourne‚ Australia Abstract: This section reports on the organisation‚ procedures‚ and publications of the ICMI Study‚ The Future of the Teaching and Learning of Algebra. Key words: Study Conference‚ organisation‚ procedures‚ publications The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) has‚ since the 1980s‚ conducted a series of studies into topics of particular significance to the theory and practice of contemporary mathematics education. Each ICMI Study involves an international seminar‚ the “Study Conference”‚ and culminates in a published volume intended to promote and assist d...
Mathematics Teacher Education in the Public Interest
Mathematics teacher education has a critical role to play in preparing teachers to put at center stage goals to support equity in mathematics education and to diversify student interest and participation in mathematics. These goals must also resonate with broader public interest goals to improve educational and social conditions both in the U.S. and abroad. The Mathematics Teacher Education in the Public Interest book aims to support mathematics teacher educators to prepare teachers with new knowledge and skills to support all students to learn mathematics and to become informed, engaged, and critical citizens within their community, nation, and world. While internationally there is consider...
Foundation Numeracy in Context
Foundation Numeracy in Context describes an approach to teaching mathematics based on applied and contextual learning principles. This means that the teaching and learning of mathematics proceeds from a contextual, task-based and investigative point of viewâwhere the mathematics involved is developed from a modelled situation or practical task. Practical investigations and projects are principle vehicles for student learning in such an approach. This text is written for teachers working with students who have become disengaged from learning mathematics during the middle to latter years of secondary schooling, and will likely have had limited success with mathematics. The approach used will be helpful for teachers of students who need a practical rather than formal mathematical background for their everyday life skills and further education, training or career aspirations. The text illustrates how this approach works through some sample contexts such as cars and driving, sport, cooking and catering, and draws together mathematics from the areas of number, measurement, space, data and statistics, and algebra.

Digital Curricula in School Mathematics
The mathematics curriculum – what mathematics is taught, to whom it is taught, and when it is taught – is the bedrock to understanding what mathematics students can, could, and should learn. Today’s digital technology influences the mathematics curriculum in two quite different ways. One influence is on the delivery of mathematics through hardware such as desktops, laptops, and tablets. Another influence is on the doing of mathematics using software available on this hardware, but also available on the internet, calculators, or smart phones. These developments, rapidly increasing in their availability and decreasing in their cost, raise fundamental questions regarding a mathematics cur...
