100 IDEAS: QUICK - EASY - INSPIRED - OUTSTANDING

Teaching mathematics in the secondary school can be very demanding especially with the extra pressure of 'no notice' Ofsted inspections. In this fully updated book Mike Ollerton offers strategies and activities for you to integrate into your everyday teaching to ensure your lessons are consistently outstanding and include all the mathematics skills secondary students need to study.

Topics include algebra, fractions, geometry and measurement, as well as domino and dice games and an exciting study of Fibonacci. Many of the ideas...

Yet professional mathematicians talk of the subject differently. They look for elegant solutions to problems, revel in playing around with mathematical ideas and talk of the creative nature of mathematics. As the...

Statistics and hypothesis testing are routinely used in areas (such as linguistics) that are traditionally not mathematically intensive. In such fields, when faced with experimental data, many students and researchers tend to rely on commercial packages to carry out statistical data analysis, often without understanding the logic of the statistical tests they rely on. As a consequence, results are often misinterpreted, and users have difficulty in flexibly applying techniques relevant to their own research -- they use whatever they happen to have learned. A simple solution is to teach the...

The ANIE (Assessment of Numeracy for Education) is a teacher-developed assessment tool that uses numeracy and common core performance standards to assess student understanding of math concepts. This simple diagnostic tool helps teachers identify gaps in learning so they can plan intervention. It takes about 10 minutes to administer, grading is relatively quick and most important, teachers can use the results to plan timely and targeted intervention.

This remarkable book introduces a powerful assessment tool and intervention strategies that are remarkably simple yet revolutionary in...

Includes:
quick tests to check understanding
end-of-topic practice questions
topic review questions later...

Christine Moynihan wrote Common Core Sense: Tapping the Power of the Mathematical Practices with the goal of making the practices more explicit, learnable, and accessible. Moynihan shows what each practice might look, sound, and feel like in the classroom using the four-part GOLD framework:...

Performance tasks are highly effective tools to assist you in implementing rigorous standards. But how do you create, evaluate, and use such tools? In this bestselling book, educational experts Charlotte Danielson and Elizabeth Marquez explain how to construct and apply performance tasks to gauge students' deeper understanding of mathematical concepts at the middle school level. You'll learn how to:

• Evaluate the quality of performance tasks, whether you've written them yourself or found them online;
• Use performance tasks for instructional...

Dieses Buch handelt von 20 geometrischen Figuren (Icons), die eine wichtige Rolle bei der Veranschaulichung mathematischer Beweise spielen. Alsina und Nelsen untersuchen die Mathematik, die hinter diesen Figuren steckt und die sich aus ihnen ableiten lasst.

Jedem in diesem Buch behandelten Icons ist ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet, in dem sein Alltagsbezug, seine wesentlichen mathematischen Eigenschaften sowie seine Bedeutung fur visuelle Beweise vieler mathematischer Satze betont werden. Diese Satze umfassen unter anderem auch klassische Ergebnisse aus der ebenen Geometrie,...
