Download or read book The Role of Mental Computation and Estimation in Elementary School written by Peter McCarthy and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study sought to investigate how Grade 3 students from two separate schools learned mathematics. The study explores the role of mental computation when students are engaged in sharing their invented strategies. I observed students sharing ideas and teachers implementing mental computation lessons over fifteen sessions. Interviews with students and teachers, copies of students' journal on mental math strategies were used to collect additional data. The findings were organized around descriptive moments; as I described how students were absorbed in mathematical conversation when they were invited to think mathematically and also encouraged to use their own strategies. I drew on the epistemology of constructivism in problem solving, to understand how students develop conceptual understanding of mathematics when given the opportunity to explain their own strategies. Students' cooperation in sharing their inventions was observed in class and group discussions, as well as in pairs with classmates. It was at these levels where the students: (a) eagerly invented numerous strategies for solving addition, subtraction and multiplication problems; (b) made sound arguments in support of their ideas when discussing problem solving strategies; (c) were cooperative in presenting their strategies; (d) learned from each other by listening to one another's explanations; (e) learned from correcting their errors; and (f) used their cognitive backgrounds as useful heuristics in their discussions. The students expressed their satisfaction and enjoyment during their collaborative learning and social interactions. The teachers used questioning strategies, among other teaching principles, to help students to complete their presentations. These included leading questions, probing and follow-ups, checklisting and student-specific questioning strategies. The study informs teachers about how mental mathematics lessons were implemented in the two Grade 3 classrooms to help the students understand mathematics. Teachers should be given courses, workshops and supportive programs on implementing mental computation lessons. This will give teachers the necessary experiences to increase their understanding of how students improve their understanding of mathematics when they are encouraged to share their inventions in class. The study provides a useful template for future studies in all subject areas of mathematics related to mental computation and estimation at all grade levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many students, learning mathematics in the middle grades represents a watershed activity. If they fall behind or fail at this point, they are unlikely to recover and to pursue a career in the sciences or other mathematics-dependent occupations. The authors reveal at least two of the reasons for this watershed experience. First, the content itself is much more complex than that at the primary grades, a complexity that is only now being fully appreciated. Second, conventional instruction often is based on faulty assumptions about the way in which the content is learned. The chapters present the latest understanding of the nature of the mathematics content in the middle grades and the processes by which it is learned.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MENTAL MATH: REVAMP THE LEARNING provides a stunning realization about the flaw and failure of our contemporary math teaching at school level. Even as it underscores the need and importance of computational skill or mental math ability, the book unfolds the finding of a study by the author, which shows the disturbingly low level of mental computation of the pupil's group examined. In all likelihood this is a ubiquitous trend. The book also gives its readers an idea about how the group differences in intelligence, achievement in mathematics, socioeconomic status, locale and gender of the pupils impact upon their computational skills, both computational speed and computational power. The need of the hour, as the book suggests, is to revamp the math teaching and learning methods pursued in the classrooms. The right way of learning the most important among the three 'R's (arithmetic) is imperative and essential to the pupil community at large.

Download or read book The Development of Arithmetic Concepts and Skills written by Arthur J. Baroody and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on two related questions that are central to both the psychology of mathematical thinking and learning and to the improvement of mathematics education: What is the nature of arithmetic expertise? How can instruction best promote it? Contributors from a variety of specialities, including cognitive, developmental, educational, and neurological psychology; mathematics education; and special education offer theoretical perspectives and much needed empirical evidence about these issues. As reported in this volume, both theory and research indicate that the nature of arithmetic expertise and how to best promote it are far more complex than conventional wisdom and many scholars, past and present, have suggested. The results of psychological, educational, and clinical studies using a wide range of arithmetic tasks and populations (including "normally" and atypically developing children, non-injured and brain-injured adults, and savants) all point to the same conclusion: The heart of arithmetic fluency, in general, and the flexible and creative use of strategies, in particular, is what is termed "adaptive expertise" (meaningful or conceptually based knowledge). The construction of adaptive expertise in mathematics is, for the first time, examined across various arithmetic topics and age groups. This book will be an invaluable resource for researchers and graduate students interested in mathematical cognition and learning (including mathematics educators, developmental and educational psychologists, and neuropsychologists), educators (including teachers, curriculum supervisors, and school administrators), and others interested in improving arithmetic instruction (including officials in national and local education departments, the media, and parents).
