"With Making sense of mathematics for teaching grades K-2: the TQE process, participants have the opportunity to engage in mathematics as learners. This unscripted video program addresses three specific goals: (1) to explore meaningful tasks as learners of mathematics for teaching, (2) to make sense of the TQE process (tasks, questioning, and evidence), and (3) to create a shared vision of classrooms where teachers are supporting the TQE process and students are engaged in meaningful mathematics learning experiences. The program accomplishes these goals through the use of challenging tasks for teachers, effective questions related to classroom content, and classroom video showing tasks modeled during instruction."--Container

Curriculum Focal Points for Prekindergarten through Grade 8 Mathematics: A Quest for Coherence provides a rationale for focal points for each grade level, prekindergarten - 8.
Studies of teachers in the U.S. often document insufficient subject matter knowledge in mathematics. Yet, these studies give few examples of the knowledge teachers need to support teaching, particularly the kind of teaching demanded by recent reforms in mathematics education. Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics describes the nature and development of the knowledge that elementary teachers need to become accomplished mathematics teachers, and suggests why such knowledge seems more common in China than in the United States, despite the fact that Chinese teachers have less formal education than their U.S. counterparts. The anniversary edition of this bestselling volume includes the original studies that compare U.S and Chinese elementary school teachers’ mathematical understanding and offers a powerful framework for grasping the mathematical content necessary to understand and develop the thinking of school children. Highlighting notable changes in the field and the author’s work, this new edition includes an updated preface, introduction, and key journal articles that frame and contextualize this seminal work.
The esteemed author team is back with a fourth edition of Calculus: Graphing, Numerical, Algebraic written specifically for high school students and aligned to the guidelines of the AP(R) Calculus exam. The new edition focuses on providing enhanced student and teacher support; for students, the authors added guidance on the appropriate use of graphing calculators and updated exercises to reflect current data. For teachers, the authors provide lesson plans, pacing guides, and point-of-need answers throughout the Teacher's Edition and teaching resources. Learn more.
Most of our students neither know how learning works nor what they have to do to ensure it, to the detriment both of their studies and their development as lifelong learners.The point of departure for this book is the literature on self-regulated learning that tells us that deep, lasting, independent learning requires learners to bring into play a range of cognitive skills, affective attitudes, and even physical activities – about which most students are wholly unaware; and that self-regulation, which has little to do with measured intelligence, can be developed by just about anyone and is a fundamental prerequisite of academic success.Linda Nilson provides the theoretical background to st...

Students best learn science when they do science. That's why this modern program puts the focus on the student experience. With Experience Physics, learning is based on doing science. This new program implements a learning model that: * Organizes learning around phenomena, giving students an authentic, real-world experience. * Includes a variety of hands-on and digital activities designed to reach every learner. * Partners with Flinn Scientific to deliver high-quality inquiry labs, engineering workbenches, and performance assessments. * Allows instructors to personalize their course by selecting from our activities or embedding their own.
"This book is a game changer! Strengths-Based Teaching and Learning in Mathematics: 5 Teaching Turnarounds for Grades K- 6 goes beyond simply providing information by sharing a pathway for changing practice. . . Focusing on our students’ strengths should be routine and can be lost in the day-to-day teaching demands. A teacher using these approaches can change the trajectory of students’ lives forever. All teachers need this resource! Connie S.
