A volume in the series The Montana Mathematics Enthusiast: Monograph Series in Mathematics Education. Series Editor: Bharath Sriraman, The University of Montana The title of the book is Critique as Uncertainty. Thus Ole Skovsmose sees uncertainty as an important feature of any critical approach. He does not assume the existence of any blue prints for social and political improvements, nor that certain theoretical structures can provide solid foundations for a critical activities. For him critique is an open and uncertain activity. This also applies to critical mathematics education. Critique...

​This book is about how teachers can use classroom mathematics tasks to support student learning, and presents data on the ways in which teachers used those tasks in a particular research project. It is the product of research findings focusing on teacher practice, teacher learning and knowledge, and student learning. It demonstrates how teachers can use mathematics tasks to promote effective student learning.​

Parents are those social factors that can positively influence their child s learning of mathematics. Using Teacher Inquiry for Knowing and Supporting Parents with Mathematics serves as a teacher s inquiry guide for supporting parents in this critical role. Steps for investigating the manner in which parents and children work together on mathematics tasks, such as homework and projects, are shared. Findings gleaned from such investigation cultivate a state of knowing that positions teachers to support parents, and in turn their students, in meaningful and relevant ways. This book includes...

ALAN J. BISHOP Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia RATIONALE Mathematics Education is becoming a well-documented field with many books, journals and international conferences focusing on a variety of aspects relating to theory, research and practice. That documentation also reflects the fact that the field has expanded enormously in the last twenty years. At the 8th International Congress on Mathematics Education (ICME) in Seville, Spain, for example, there were 26 specialist Working Groups and 26 special ist Topic Groups, as well as a host of other group activities. In 1950 the...

Take the mystery out of teaching mathematics! This second edition resource is the perfect, research-supported tool to differentiate instruction.

A major focus of teacher education is the development of preservice teachers. However, it should not be the only focus of those who work in teacher education. Educating inservice teachers in equally important, and the conversation among those involved in mathematics teacher education needs to include discussion of this group as well. This conversation also highlights a need for professional development for teacher educators and research on the development of teacher educators. This monograph discusses issues in educating all of these groups of individuals in an effort to continue the...

The goal of AMTE Monograph 4, "Cases in Mathematics Teacher Education: Tools for Developing Knowledge Needed for Teaching," is to provide detailed accounts of case use that will inform the mathematics teacher education community on the range of ways in which cases can be used to foster teacher learning and the capacity to reflect on and learn from teaching. The chapters in this monograph describe the use of cases with preservice and practicing teachers at all levels K - 12, in content and methods courses as well as professional development settings, and focus on developing various aspects of...

The 14 chapters in this monograph provide support for mathematics teacher educators in both their Practical Knowledge and their Professional Knowledge. Individually, these articles provide insights into advancing our thinking about professional development, teacher preparation, and program development. Collectively, they have the potential to help the field of mathematics teacher education move forward in framing effective practices in mathematics teacher education and developing a focused, cohesive research agenda. ATME's Monograph 5, therefore, is a superb resource for mathematics teacher...

The sixth monograph of AMTE highlights examples of the important scholarship of the mathematics teacher education community. This monograph, like others produced by AMTE, serves as a forum for mathematics teacher educators to exchange ideas, experiences, resources, and detailed acounts of work to improve preservice and inservice teacher preparation. Chapters address important issues such as: designing tasks to emphasize mathematics knowledge for teaching; capitalizing on opportunities for student teaching mentor learning; and learning to lead classroom mathematics discussions.

The seventh monograph of AMTE highlights examples of important scholarship of and for the mathematics teacher education community. This monograph, like others produced by AMTE, serves as a forum for mathematics teacher educators to exchange ideas, experiences, resources, and detailed accounts of work to improve teacher preparation. Chapters in this monograph take up a variety of issues such as using online social networking in the preparation of teachers, examining the impact of textbook-specific professional development, and offering a mathematics-specific reading in the content area...

Lesson play is a novel construct in research and teachers professional development in mathematics education. Lesson play refers to a lesson or part of a lesson presented in dialogue form inspired in part by Lakatos s evocative Proofs and Refutations featuring imagined interactions between a teacher and her/his students. We have been using and refining our use of this tool for a number of years and using it in a variety of situations involving mathematics thinking and learning. The goal of this proposed book is to offer a comprehensive survey of the affordances of the tool, the results of our...

The Shanghai Maths Project Practice Book 10 is a Year 10 workbook providing varied practice of key concepts and summative assessments of the UK curriculum. The approach is based on the successful maths programme delivered in Shanghai.

Maths? Don't Panic? is a friendly guide to mathematics for the UK Key Stage 3 Examination. The book has been written for students aged 11 to 14 (in school years 7 to 9), and the parents who want to help them. It is based on the Department of Education's Curriculum for 2014 onwards. It is not a formal textbook. Each chapter covers a single topic and provides explanations, tips, memory aids, worked examples and exercises. Mathematics doesn't have to be 'learned'. Once you understand the basic rules it's about knowing how to apply them to find the answer to the question. When you have understood...
