Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre propose 275 exercices de préparation au CAPES 2017 pour l'option mathématiques, dont 152 adaptés pour l'option informatique. Il s'agit de mes travaux dirigés de préparation à l'écrit du CAPES 2017 augmentés d'un grand nombre de questions d'entraînement. Tous les exercices présentés dans ce volume ciblent le CAPES et permettent de réviser les fondamentaux.Si l'objectif principal est une remise à niveau rapide pour passer les écrits dans de bonnes conditions, la révision des bases concernant l'algèbre et l'arithmétique permet aussi de se constituer des références salvatrices pour réagir pendant les épreuves orales. Ce livre permet d'« accumuler des munitions » pour les écrits et les oraux du CAPES.Centré sur des parties du cours à bien posséder, ce manuel permettra de débusquer les thèmes que l'on devra éventuellement retravailler seul.Les sept volumes déjà parus de la collection Acquisition des fondamentaux pour les concours offrent déjà toute une panoplie de questions portant sur des classiques qu'il est utile de travailler avant les concours. Mais cette collection s'adresse aussi bien au candidat du CAPES qu'à celui de l'agrégation interne.Le livre que vous avez entre les mains a été construit à partir de ces sept volumes et des quatre volumes suivants en préparation, en extrayant des exercices significatifs bien adaptés à la seule préparation du CAPES, de façon à parcourir la majeure partie du programme de l'écrit en algèbre et arithmétique de façon équilibrée.Ce livre cible uniquement le CAPES, ce qui explique qu'une attention particulière a été portée pour replacer des extraits de CAPES ou de CAPES agricoles dans l'esprit des nouvelles épreuves.Chaque chapitre est divisé en trois parties : un minimum vital à traiter en priorité, un entraînement supplémentaire, pouvant parfois proposer des compléments sur des parties non traitées dans le minimum vital, et des réponses détaillées à toutes les questions posées.Les questions proposées en « minimum vital » sont celles que je travaillerai en TD en présentiel avec mes étudiants de master première année à l'ESPE de Guadeloupe durant l'année universitaire 2016-17 dans l'EC (élément constitutif) d'algèbre et arithmétique, pour un volume de 42h.C'est peu, et les exercices proposés en entraînement permettront de compléter ce travail ou de s'intéresser à des parties qui n'auront pas pu être développées en TD, essentiellement des exercices sur les nombres complexes supposés bien connus des étudiants de licence, et des exercices d'algèbre linéaire qui ont été aussi normalement travaillés pendant les trois années de licence. Chaque étudiant devra fournir du travail personnel sur ces parties « vues récemment » s'il vient directement de licence.Nouveauté pour l'édition 2017 : la distinction entre des exercices étoilés et ceux qui ne le sont pas. L'option informatique fait son apparition à la session 2017 du CAPES mathématiques, et ceux qui choisiront cette option n'auront plus droit qu'à la moitié des enseignements de mathématiques proposés en master MEEF, avec un programme allégé. Ils devront par contre se préparer sur un programme spécifique d'informatique. Aussi les questions étoilées de ce recueil s'adressent aux candidats de l'option mathématiques, tandis que les questions non étoilées s'adressent à tous les candidats, quelles que soient leurs options.Il faut néanmoins relativiser cette règle : compte tenu du manque d'heures de formation disciplinaire en master 1 MEEF, le nombre d'exercices des parties Minimum vital, réservés à un travail en présentiel, est limité et doit être équilibré entre les deux options pour permettre le découpage en séquences. Cela explique pourquoi certains exercices des parties Minimum vital peuvent être marqués d'une étoile tout en pouvant intéresser les candidats de l'option informatique.

This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the main research veins developed within the framework of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD), a paradigm that originated in French didactics of mathematics. While a great number of publications on ATD are available in French and Spanish, Working with the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic in Mathematics Education is the first directed at English-speaking international audiences. Written and edited by leading researchers in ATD, the book covers all aspects of ATD theory and practice, including teaching applications. The chapters feature the most relevant and recent investigations presented at the 6th international conference on the ATD, offering a unique opportunity for an international audience interested in the study of mathematics teaching and learning to keep in touch with advances in educational research. The book is divided into four sections and the contributions explore key topics such as: The core concept of ‘praxeology’, including its development and functionalities The need for new teaching praxeologies in the paradigm of questioning the world The impact of ATD on the teaching profession and the education of teachers This is the second volume in the New Perspectives on Research in Mathematics Education. This comprehensive casebook is an indispensable resource for researchers, teachers and graduate students around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first to offer a comprehensive, research-based, multi-faceted look at issues in early algebra. In recent years, the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics has recommended that algebra become a strand flowing throughout the K-12 curriculum, and the 2003 RAND Mathematics Study Panel has recommended that algebra be “the initial topical choice for focused and coordinated research and development [in K-12 mathematics].” This book provides a rationale for a stronger and more sustained approach to algebra in school, as well as concrete examples of how algebraic reasoning may be developed in the early grades. It is organized around three themes: The Nature of Early Algebra Students’ Capacity for Algebraic Thinking Issues of Implementation: Taking Early Algebra to the Classrooms. The contributors to this landmark volume have been at the forefront of an effort to integrate algebra into the existing early grades mathematics curriculum. They include scholars who have been developing the conceptual foundations for such changes as well as researchers and developers who have led empirical investigations in school settings. Algebra in the Early Grades aims to bridge the worlds of research, practice, design, and theory for educators, researchers, students, policy makers, and curriculum developers in mathematics education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE AS OPEN ACCESS BOOK ON SPRINGERLINK* This open access book is the product of ICMI Study 22 Task Design in Mathematics Education. The study offers a state-of-the-art summary of relevant research and goes beyond that to develop new insights and new areas of knowledge and study about task design. The authors represent a wide range of countries and cultures and are leading researchers, teachers and designers. In particular, the authors develop explicit understandings of the opportunities and difficulties involved in designing and implementing tasks and of the interfaces between the teaching, researching and designing roles – recognising that these might be undertaken by the same person or by completely separate teams. Tasks generate the activity through which learners meet mathematical concepts, ideas, strategies and learn to use and develop mathematical thinking and modes of enquiry. Teaching includes the selection, modification, design, sequencing, installation, observation and evaluation of tasks. The book illustrates how task design is core to effective teaching, whether the task is a complex, extended, investigation or a small part of a lesson; whether it is part of a curriculum system, such as a textbook, or promotes free standing activity; whether the task comes from published source or is devised by the teacher or the student.

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.

Book excerpt: Readers of Innumeracy will be rewarded with scores of astonishing facts, a fistful of powerful ideas, and, most important, a clearer, more quantitative way of looking at their world. Why do even well-educated people understand so little about mathematics? And what are the costs of our innumeracy? John Allen Paulos, in his celebrated bestseller first published in 1988, argues that our inability to deal rationally with very large numbers and the probabilities associated with them results in misinformed governmental policies, confused personal decisions, and an increased susceptibility to pseudoscience of all kinds. Innumeracy lets us know what we're missing, and how we can do something about it. Sprinkling his discussion of numbers and probabilities with quirky stories and anecdotes, Paulos ranges freely over many aspects of modern life, from contested elections to sports stats, from stock scams and newspaper psychics to diet and medical claims, sex discrimination, insurance, lotteries, and drug testing.

Book excerpt: Hundreds of grassroots groups have sprung up around the world to teach programming, web design, robotics, and other skills outside traditional classrooms. These groups exist so that people don't have to learn these things on their own, but ironically, their founders and instructors are often teaching themselves how to teach. There's a better way. This book presents evidence-based practices that will help you create and deliver lessons that work and build a teaching community around them. Topics include the differences between different kinds of learners, diagnosing and correcting misunderstandings, teaching as a performance art, what motivates and demotivates adult learners, how to be a good ally, fostering a healthy community, getting the word out, and building alliances with like-minded groups. The book includes over a hundred exercises that can be done individually or in groups, over 350 references, and a glossary to help you navigate educational jargon.

Book excerpt: This is the professional memoir of an ethnologist, who studies the cultures and languages of ethnic groups, in the present and in the past. Bricker's journeys -- from Hong Kong to Shanghai during World War II, to the U.S. after the war, to Germany, Harvard, southeastern Mexico, and eventually to New Orleans -- influenced her choice of ethnology as a career and shaped that career over 50 years. Ethnology served as the stepping stone for intellectual forays into other related fields, such as linguistics, ethnohistory, epigraphy, and astronomy, all focused on the Maya people of southern Mexico and Central America. Bricker, a Professor Emerita, is the author, with her husband, Harvey Bricker (1940-2017), of "Astronomy in the Maya Codices." Illus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of papers presented at the “Archimedes in the 21st Century” world conference, held at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences in 2013. This conference focused on the enduring and continuing influence of Archimedes in our modern world, celebrating his centuries of influence on mathematics, science, and engineering. Archimedes planted the seeds for a myriad of seminal ideas that would grow over the ages. Each chapter surveys the growth of one or more of these seeds, and the fruit that they continue to bear to this day. The conference speakers contributing to this book are actively involved in STEM fields whose origins trace back to Archimedes, many of whom have conducted and published research that extends Archimedes’ work into the 21st century. The speakers are not historians, so while historical context is provided, this book is uniquely focused on the works themselves as opposed to their history. The breadth and depth of Archimedes’ influence will inspire, delight, and even surprise readers from a variety of fields and interests including historians, mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. Only a modest background in math is required to read this book, making it accessible to curious readers of all ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If you’re interested in the revolutionary transformation of the meaning and use of money, this is the book to read!”—Charles R. Schwab Cultural anthropologist Jack Weatherford traces our relationship with money, from primitive man’s cowrie shells to the electronic cash card, from the markets of Timbuktu to the New York Stock Exchange. The History of Money explores how money and the myriad forms of exchange have affected humanity, and how they will continue to shape all aspects of our lives—economic, political, and personal. “A fascinating book about the force that makes the world go round—the dollars, pounds, francs, marks, bahts, ringits, kwansas, levs, biplwelles, yuans, quetzales, pa’angas, ngultrums, ouguiyas, and other 200-odd brand names that collectively make up the mysterious thing we call money.”—Los Angeles Times
