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...
Thinking Mathematically
Thinking Mathematically unfolds the processes which lie at the heart of mathematics. It demonstrates how to encourage, develop, and foster the processes which seem to come naturally to mathematicians. In this way, a deep seated awareness of the nature of mathematical thinking can grow. The book is increasingly used to provide students at a tertiary level with some experience of mathematical thinking processes.
The Learning and Teaching of Algebra
IMPACT (Interweaving Mathematics Pedagogy and Content for Teaching) is an exciting new series of texts for teacher education which aims to advance the learning and teaching of mathematics by integrating mathematics content with the broader research and theoretical base of mathematics education. The Learning and Teaching of Algebra provides a pedagogical framework for the teaching and learning of algebra grounded in theory and research. Areas covered include: • Algebra: Setting the Scene • Some Lessons From History • Seeing Algebra Through the Eyes of a Learner • Emphases in Algebra Teaching • Algebra Education in the Digital Era This guide will be essential reading for trainee and qualified teachers of mathematics, graduate students, curriculum developers, researchers and all those who are interested in the "problématique" of teaching and learning algebra. It allows you to get involved in the wealth of knowledge that teachers can draw upon to assist learners, helping you gain the insights that mastering algebra provides.
Understanding and Teaching Primary Mathematics in Australia
Written by experienced teacher educator and author, Tony Cotton, and two Australian primary teachers, Jess Greenbaum and Michael Minas, Understanding and Teaching Primary Mathematics in Australia combines pedagogy and mathematics subject knowledge to build teachers’ confidence both in their mathematical subject knowledge and in their ability to teach mathematics effectively. The book covers all the key areas of the Australian Curriculum for mathematics from teaching number and calculation strategies to exploring geometry and statistics. There are also chapters that deal with the teaching of mathematics in the Early Years, inclusive approaches to mathematics teaching and teaching mathematics using ICT. Stimulating, accessible and containing a wealth of practical ideas for use in the classroom, Understanding and Teaching Primary Mathematics in Australia is an essential text for graduate and practicing teachers alike.
Fundamental Constructs in Mathematics Education
Fundamental Constructs in Mathematics Education is a unique sourcebook which has been crafted from a collection of classic tasks, extracts and texts that have been quoted repeatedly in mathematics education literature. Linked together by the editors'' narrative, the book provides a fascinating examination of key constructs in mathematics education. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines ''thinking about the learner'' and includes the following constructs: constructivisms, activity theory and didactics. Beginning with a chapter dedicated to the classic tasks used by researchers to ''probe'' learners'' understanding, readers are encouraged to try these theories themselves ...
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...
Proceedings of the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. The book presents the Proceedings of the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13) and is based on the presentations given at the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13). ICME-13 took place from 24th- 31st July 2016 at the University of Hamburg in Hamburg (Germany). The congress was hosted by the Society of Didactics of Mathematics (Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Mathematik - GDM) and took place under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). ICME-13 brought together about 3.500 mathematics educators from 105 countries, additionally 250 teachers from German...
International Comparative Studies in Mathematics
It argues that the main purpose of educational research is to improve student learning, and that international comparative studies are no exception.
Future Curricular Trends in School Algebra And Geometry
This volume contains papers from the Second International Curriculum Conference sponsored by the Center for the Study of Mathematics Curriculum (CSMC). The intended audience includes policy makers, curriculum developers, researchers, teachers, teacher trainers, and anyone else interested in school mathematics curricula.
The Didactical Challenge of Symbolic Calculators
A significant driver of recent growth in the use of mathematics in the professions has been the support brought by new technologies. Not only has this facilitated the application of established methods of mathematical and statistical analysis but it has stimulated the development of innovative approaches. These changes have produced a marked evolution in the professional practice of mathematics, an evolution which has not yet provoked a corresponding adaptation in mathematical education, particularly at school level. In particular, although calculators -- first arithmetic and scientific, then graphic, now symbolic -- have been found well suited in many respects to the working conditions of p...
