Book Synopsis Helping Children Learn Mathematics by : National Research Council
Download or read book Helping Children Learn Mathematics written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-07-31 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results from national and international assessments indicate that school children in the United States are not learning mathematics well enough. Many students cannot correctly apply computational algorithms to solve problems. Their understanding and use of decimals and fractions are especially weak. Indeed, helping all children succeed in mathematics is an imperative national goal. However, for our youth to succeed, we need to change how we're teaching this discipline. Helping Children Learn Mathematics provides comprehensive and reliable information that will guide efforts to improve school mathematics from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The authors explain the five strands of mathematical proficiency and discuss the major changes that need to be made in mathematics instruction, instructional materials, assessments, teacher education, and the broader educational system and answers some of the frequently asked questions when it comes to mathematics instruction. The book concludes by providing recommended actions for parents and caregivers, teachers, administrators, and policy makers, stressing the importance that everyone work together to ensure a mathematically literate society.

Download or read book The Mathematical Education of Teachers written by Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2001 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now is a time of great interest in mathematics education. Student performance, curriculum, and teacher education are the subjects of much scrutiny and debate. Studies on the mathematical knowledge of prospective and practicing U. S. teachers suggest ways to improve their mathematical educations. It is often assumed that because the topics covered in K-12 mathematics are so basic, they should be easy to teach. However, research in mathematics education has shown that to teach well,substantial mathematical understanding is necessary--even to teach whole-number arithmetic. Prospective teachers need a solid understanding of mathematics so that they can teach it as a coherent, reasoned activity and communicate its elegance and power. This volume gathers and reports current thinkingon curriculum and policy issues affecting the mathematical education of teachers. It considers two general themes: (1) the intellectual substance in school mathematics; and (2) the special nature of the mathematical knowledge needed for teaching. The underlying study was funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The mathematical knowledge needed for teaching is quite different from that required by students pursuing other mathematics-related professions. Material here is gearedtoward stimulating efforts on individual campuses to improve programs for prospective teachers. This report contains general recommendations for all grades and extensive discussions of the specific mathematical knowledge required for teaching elementary, middle, and high-school grades, respectively.It is also designed to marshal efforts in the mathematical sciences community to back important national initiatives to improve mathematics education and to expand professional development opportunities. The book will be an important resource for mathematics faculty and other parties involved in the mathematical education of teachers. Information for our distributors: This series is published in cooperation with the Mathematical Association of America.

Book Synopsis Making Connections to Deepen New Teachers' Understanding of Elementary Mathematics by : Marc Edmund Husband
Download or read book Making Connections to Deepen New Teachers' Understanding of Elementary Mathematics written by Marc Edmund Husband and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates how Ontario newly graduated teachers who have obtained certification but have not begun teaching, can make connections within their existing elementary mathematical knowledge. Typically, beginning teachers have a fragmented understanding of elementary mathematics; for example, they know how to use standard algorithms but not why they work. New teachers often lack prior experiences constructing connections between algorithms and less formal images, like pictures or diagrams, for themselves. Twenty-five years of research has shown that working with a students prior knowledge and connecting it with new material is the key to developing mathematics understanding. New teachers will need to support their future students in this recommended connection practice. However, asking teachers to support students in making mathematical connections seems like an unreasonable expectation when they have not had opportunities to connect their own understanding. In teacher education, researchers have uncovered what teachers do and dont know, but have yet to determine how to support teachers in making connections among their own fragmented mathematics ideas. Researchers are also saying that knowing mathematics is not enough; teachers also need extensive experience using strategies and methods that help students connect their prior mathematical knowledge with new ideas. This case study took place in a course with 15 certified newly graduated teachers. It extends educational research by investigating how teachers can deepen their mathematical understanding using tools and strategies similar to the ones they can/will use in their future teaching. Simultaneously, the study also offered newly graduated teachers extensive experience with recommended teaching strategies/methods for elementary students. Pirie-Kieren Theory and met-befores were used to frame the case study analysis of the video data and show how newly graduated teachers deepened their existing mathematical understanding by experiencing the methods similar to those recommended for elementary classrooms.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is a resource for those who teach mathematics and statistics to PreK-12 mathematics teachers, both future teachers and those who already teach in our nation's schools. The report makes recommendations for the mathematics that teachers should know and how they should come to know that mathematics. It urges greater involvement of mathematicians and statisticians in teacher education so that the nation's mathematics teachers have the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to provide students with a mathematics education that ensures high school graduates are college- and career-ready as envisioned by the Common Core State Standards. This report draws on the experience and knowledge of the past decade to: Update the 2001 Mathematical Education of Teachers report's recommendations for the mathematical preparation of teachers at all grade levels: elementary, middle, and high school. Address the professional development of teachers of mathematics. Discuss the mathematical knowledge needed by teachers at different grade levels and by others who teach mathematics such as elementary mathematics specialists, special education teachers, and early childhood educators. Each of the MET II writers is a mathematician, statistician, or mathematics educator with substantial expertise and experience in mathematics education. Among them are principal investigators for Math Science Partnerships as well as past presidents and chairs of the American Statistical Association, Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, Association of State Supervisors of Mathematics, Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences, and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The audience for this report includes all who teach mathematics to teachers--mathematicians, statisticians, and mathematics educators--and all who are responsible for the mathematical education of teachers--department chairs, educational administrators, and policy-makers at the national, state, school-district, and collegiate levels.

Book Synopsis Knowing and Learning Mathematics for Teaching by : National Research Council
Download or read book Knowing and Learning Mathematics for Teaching written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-02-25 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many questions about the mathematical preparation teachers need. Recent recommendations from a variety of sources state that reforming teacher preparation in postsecondary institutions is central in providing quality mathematics education to all students. The Mathematics Teacher Preparation Content Workshop examined this problem by considering two central questions: What is the mathematical knowledge teachers need to know in order to teach well? How can teachers develop the mathematical knowledge they need to teach well? The Workshop activities focused on using actual acts of teaching such as examining student work, designing tasks, or posing questions, as a medium for teacher learning. The Workshop proceedings, Knowing and Learning Mathematics for Teaching, is a collection of the papers presented, the activities, and plenary sessions that took place.

Book Synopsis Developing Understanding : Pre-service Elementary Teachers' Changing Conceptions of Mathematics by : Wendy Margaret Stienstra
Download or read book Developing Understanding : Pre-service Elementary Teachers' Changing Conceptions of Mathematics written by Wendy Margaret Stienstra and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This descriptive case study explores how a conceptual understanding of fractions develops in pre-service elementary teachers enrolled in a reform-based, remedial mathematics skills course set at a middle school level, during their final year of an education program in a small Canadian university. I compared the learning trajectory of these adults to that of children and then developed a landscape of (re)learning fraction concepts within a constructivist-oriented environment. Fourteen prospective teachers completed pre/posttest content exams and interviews that followed-up each of these test instruments, as well as two paired problem-solving interviews that used a modified think aloud protocol, and open ended questionnaires. All interviews were videotaped using two cameras, capturing both the participant(s) and a zoomed in view of their hands and written work. Data collection took place at four points in the school year between September and March, providing snapshots of the developmental progression of fraction understanding in the pre-service teachers over time. Analysis occurred at multiple layers: first with the individual pre-service teachers, then with three clusters of participants grouped according to their mathematical abilities, and finally with the group as a whole. The theoretical framework utilized a constructivist view of learning and a particular landscape of learning that highlights strategies, big ideas, and models. The analysis revealed that the landscape of (re)learning fractions for adults is significantly different from that of children. Pre-service teachers moved from understanding fractions solely as procedures and worked to make sense of their fragmented knowledge around the intertwined concepts of fractions as relations, ratios, and operators. All participants demonstrated growth in their understanding of fractions; however, few participants developed a deep understanding of fractions as meaningful objects. The foundational concept of fractions as relations developed slowly over time and constrained the understanding of fractions as ratios and operators. Pre-service teachers experienced difficulties in understanding and identifying the appropriate referent unit, or fraction whole; this reflected the fragility of their understanding of fractions as relations. In order for pre-service teachers to understand fractions as meaningful objects and to shift to multiplicative thinking, modeling is a necessary but insufficient means."-- from abstract.

Book Synopsis The Development of Multiplicative Reasoning in the Learning of Mathematics by : Guershon Harel
Download or read book The Development of Multiplicative Reasoning in the Learning of Mathematics written by Guershon Harel and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two of the most important concepts children develop progressively throughout their mathematics education years are additivity and multiplicativity. Additivity is associated with situations that involve adding, joining, affixing, subtracting, separating and removing. Multiplicativity is associated with situations that involve duplicating, shrinking, stressing, sharing equally, multiplying, dividing, and exponentiating. This book presents multiplicativity in terms of a multiplicative conceptual field (MCF), not as individual concepts. It is presented in terms of interrelations and dependencies within, between, and among multiplicative concepts. The authors share the view that research on the mathematical, cognitive, and instructional aspects of multiplicative concepts must be situated in an MCF framework.
