Well, not anymore! Thanks to professional know-it-alls Foley and Coates, you can now gain back your self-respect and actually show those kids a thing or two as you tell it to them straight (and not make it up from fragments of facts you kind of remember).

Book Synopsis New Math for Grown-Ups by : Robin Satty
Download or read book New Math for Grown-Ups written by Robin Satty and published by . This book was released on 2023-08-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Math can be useful in so many areas of our everyday lives: calculating the total cost of groceries, fitting a car into a tight parking spot, figuring out how much time our kids have to get ready and be out the door on time, helping our kids with their homework, and more.For some reason, the math on our kids' homework doesn't look like the math we remember from school. How have they managed to change math?I was as surprised as anyone else that math has changed so much, and that there are actually good reasons for it! The "New Math", as the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and similar standards are often described, is designed to help kids develop a better sense of how math really works. Rather than memorizing times tables, kids are now learning what multiplication means and how they can multiply one-digit, two-digit, and even larger numbers mentally, without writing it out or using a calculator. Rather than memorizing the names of numbers from 1-100, kids are now learning that our number system is a pattern of 0-9 that repeats for every 10, so that counting from 10-19 looks a lot like counting from 80-89 and even 450-459!As grown-ups, we know a lot of this stuff. But we probably had to figure it out on our own. Sometimes, it took a long time before the concepts "clicked". The "New Math" is an attempt to standardize the "clicking", the internal sense of how stuff works and how specific math rules can be extended and applied to other situations.This can look baffling on paper. You'll see rules, words, and tools you've never seen before. That's where I come in. I'm here to interpret all of that for you. I'm hoping to provide a user-friendly guidebook to the "New Math", so you know what's going on, how it connects to what you already know, what your kid needs to do with it, and why they're learning it this way. And most importantly, so you can learn how to confidently help them with their homework.

Book Synopsis Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics by : Liping Ma
Download or read book Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics written by Liping Ma and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-03-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Mathematics for Human Flourishing by : Francis Su
Download or read book Mathematics for Human Flourishing written by Francis Su and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ancient Greeks argued that the best life was filled with beauty, truth, justice, play and love. The mathematician Francis Su knows just where to find them."--Kevin Hartnett, Quanta Magazine" This is perhaps the most important mathematics book of our time. Francis Su shows mathematics is an experience of the mind and, most important, of the heart."--James Tanton, Global Math Project For mathematician Francis Su, a society without mathematical affection is like a city without concerts, parks, or museums. To miss out on mathematics is to live without experiencing some of humanity's most beautiful ideas. In this profound book, written for a wide audience but especially for those disenchanted by their past experiences, an award-winning mathematician and educator weaves parables, puzzles, and personal reflections to show how mathematics meets basic human desires--such as for play, beauty, freedom, justice, and love--and cultivates virtues essential for human flourishing. These desires and virtues, and the stories told here, reveal how mathematics is intimately tied to being human. Some lessons emerge from those who have struggled, including philosopher Simone Weil, whose own mathematical contributions were overshadowed by her brother's, and Christopher Jackson, who discovered mathematics as an inmate in a federal prison. Christopher's letters to the author appear throughout the book and show how this intellectual pursuit can--and must--be open to all.
