Teaching Mathematics in Grades 6 - 12

Developing Research-Based Instructional Practices

Beschreibung

Teaching Mathematics in Grades 6 - 12 by Randall E. Groth explores how research in mathematics education can inform teaching practice in grades 6-12. The author shows preservice mathematics teachers the value of being a "researcher-constantly experimenting with methods for developing students' mathematical thinking-and connecting this research to practices that enhance students' understanding of the material. Ultimately, pre-service teachers will gain a deeper understanding of the types of mathematical knowledge students bring to school, and how students' thinking may develop in response to different teaching strategies.
