Real-World Problems for Secondary School Mathematics Students
This is a book full of ideas for introducing real world problems into mathematics classrooms and assisting teachers and students to benefit from the experience. Taken as a whole these contributions provide a rich resource for mathematics teachers and their students that is readily available in a single volume. Nowadays there is a universal emphasis on teaching for understanding, motivating students to learn mathematics and using real world problems to improve the mathematics experience of school students. However, using real world problems in mathematics classrooms places extra demands on teachers in terms of extra-mathematical knowledge e.g. knowledge of the area of applications, and pedago...
Third International Handbook of Mathematics Education
The four sections in this Third International Handbook are concerned with: (a) social, political and cultural dimensions in mathematics education; (b) mathematics education as a field of study; (c) technology in the mathematics curriculum; and (d) international perspectives on mathematics education. These themes are taken up by 84 internationally-recognized scholars, based in 26 different nations. Each of section is structured on the basis of past, present and future aspects. The first chapter in a section provides historical perspectives (“How did we get to where we are now?”); the middle chapters in a section analyze present-day key issues and themes (“Where are we now, and what recent events have been especially significant?”); and the final chapter in a section reflects on policy matters (“Where are we going, and what should we do?”). Readership: Teachers, mathematics educators, ed.policy makers, mathematicians, graduate students, undergraduate students. Large set of authoritative, international authors.
New Mathematics Education Research and Practice
Mathematics education research has blossomed into many different areas which we can see in the programmes of the ICME conferences as well as in the various survey articles in the Handbooks. However, all of these lines of research are trying to grapple with a common problem, the complexity of the process of learning mathematics. Although our knowledge of the process is more extensive and deeper despite the fragmented nature of research in this area, there is still a need to overcome this fragmentation and to see learning as one process with different aspects. To overcome this fragmentation, this book identifies six themes: (1) mathematics, culture and society, (2) the structure of mathematics...
Contemporary Research in Adult and Lifelong Learning of Mathematics
This book is a selection of 15 papers developed by participants in ICME 13 held in Hamburg , presenting insights from the latest research on the andragogy of adult and lifelong learning of mathematics. It also investigates open questions, such as numeracy and mathematics skills, social and psychological influences on learning environments, as well as economic and political demands. The chapters offer examples, while at the same time highlighting important directions for further research. The book is divided into four parts: The first section provides an overview on the concept of “numeracy”, and the second focuses on adult students who are learning mathematics; the third part presents a teachers’ focus and the final part covers overarching themes. The book is of interest to classroom teachers, university teacher educators, and professional development providers.
Beliefs and Attitudes in Mathematics Education
During the last fifteen years, research on affect has been of considerable interest to the mathematics education community. Researchers with an interest in mathematics and gender had a look at aspects of affect in their research studies right from the beginning. Similarly many studies of mathematical problem solving had a growing interest in affect. The main focus of research are now student beliefs and teacher beliefs which are identified as important factors for those influencing learning and teaching. The thirteen chapters of this book involve many aspect of research on affect like theoretical problems of defining beliefs, the complex relationship between content knowledge and affect, espoused beliefs and teaching practice, domain-specific beliefs as well as the relationship between special learning conditions and affective reactions.
Attraktiver Mathematikunterricht
Dieses Sachbuch zeigt Wege zu einem attraktiveren Mathematikunterricht in Beispielen auf, die als Abschlussarbeiten seiner ehemaliger Studenten (und Coautoren) praxiserprobt sind. Das Buch lädt zur Reflexion der eigenen Erfahrungen mit Mathematikunterricht und einer Diskussion darüber ein. Farbige Kästen fordern zur aktiven Teilnahme oder Weiterführung der Projekte auf.
Mathematical Modelling for Teachers
While there are many areas of focus in mathematics education, there are many good reasons for offering applicable mathematics education in schools. Let us just mention two of the most important reasons. On the one hand, a focus on the practical side of mathematics presents a convincing and motivating answer to the typical student question: ‘Why study mathematics?’ On the other hand, education policy seems inclined to move in this direction by implementing international testing, curricula and catalogues of skills. The most important feature of this book is that the authors speak directly to you, the mathematics teachers. The authors attempt to draw you into a continuous dialogue about act...
Realitätsbezogen Mathematik unterrichten
In diesem Essential wird an Beispielen erläutert, wie und mit welchen Herausforderungen gute realitätsbezogene Aufgaben und Unterrichtseinheiten gefunden und genutzt werden können. Dabei werden die Leserinnen und Leser immer wieder eingeladen, selbst etwas auszuprobieren.
Neue Materialien für einen realitätsbezogenen Mathematikunterricht 6
Dieser neue ISTRON-Band bietet einen bunten Strauß aktueller Beispiele für einen Mathematikunterricht mit Realitätsbezug. Modellierungskompetenz ist gefragt und wird in Lehrplänen gefordert. Realitätsbezogener Mathematikunterricht motiviert die Schülerinnen und Schüler. Diese Art von Unterricht trägt wesentlich zur Modellierungskompetenz bei durch die Beantwortung der wichtigen Frage: "Wozu sollen wir das lernen?". Die Autorinnen und Autoren sind erfahrene Lehrerinnen und Lehrer sowie Mathematikdidaktikerinnen und Mathematikdidaktiker, die für dieses Buch im Mathematikunterricht erfolgreich einsetzbare und schon erprobte Unterrichtsvorschläge aufgeschrieben haben.
