A specialist text that uses a balance of theory and practice to help teachers deal with the problems and issues they will encounter in teaching mathematics. It includes examples for use in the classroom, and addresses the issue of how to teach most effectively in light of curriculum changes.

The teaching number sense series focuses on the critical role that number sense plays in students' developing mathematical understanding. Number sense encompasses a wide range of abilities, including being able to make reasonable estimates and to think and reason flexibly.

'Developing Number Sense' identifies innovative teaching practices and provides a rigorous treatment of arithmetic and its assessment at Key Stages two and three.

This must-have resource provides the theoretical groundwork for teaching number sense. Authored by Chris Shore, this e-book empowers teachers with the pedagogy, lessons, and detailed instructions to help them implement Clothesline Math in K-12 classrooms. Detailed, useful tips for facilitating the ensuing mathematical discourse are also included. At the elementary level, the hands-on lessons cover important math topics including whole numbers, place value, fractions, order of operations, algebraic reasoning, variables, and more. Implement Clothesline Math at the secondary level and provide students with hands-on learning and activities that teach advanced math topics including geometry, algebra, statistics, trigonometry, and pre-calculus. Aligned to state and national standards, this helpful resource will get students excited about learning math as they engage in meaningful discourse.

This book demonstrates that using visualisation processes in mathematics education can help to enhance teaching and learning and bridge the inequality gap that exists between well-resourced and under-resourced schools in Southern Africa. Drawing on classroom research conducted in the Southern African region, it examines how epistemological access in a context of gross inequality can be constructively addressed by providing research-based solutions and recommendations. The book outlines the visualisation process as an integral but often overlooked process of mathematics teaching and learning. It goes beyond the traditional understanding of visualisation processes such as picture forming and using tools and considers visualisation processes that are semiotic in nature and includes actions such as gestures in combination with language. It adds value to the visualisation in mathematics education research discourse and deliberation in Africa. With a unique focus on Southern Africa and open avenues for further research and collaboration in the region, it will be a highly relevant reading for researchers, academics and post-graduate students of mathematics education, comparative education and social justice education.

Short and highly accessible book that guides readers in recommending evaluation and testing for math learning disabilities.

For courses in Mathematics Methods for the Secondary School. This is the first middle and secondary math methods text to focus on reform and the national standards. It prepares teachers for the challenge of assisting all students in reaching the highest level of mathematics according to their interest and realistic ambitions. It also provides contemporary methods of teaching mathematics-which facilitates successful instruction-with a strong understanding of the philosophy and psychology behind sound practices. Coverage includes methodology, curriculum materials, and use of technology, accompanied by many practical suggestions for implementation.
