Book Description
In an age where well-behaved children almost seem like a historic relic, child-training is needed more than ever. But the question remains, what exactly should they be taught? Obedience? Honesty? Spirituality? Work Ethics? Manners?The answer is yes and much more. Author Josephine Cunnington Edwards gives hope to the myth that children cannot change. Children can be taught. As the educational system grows and improves, home must be the place where so-called old-fashion virtues are taught along with a traditional education not just for the children, but because our entire way of life hangs on it.

What Children Can Teach Adults About Mathematics
Author: Robert P Hunting
Publisher: PALM-Ed Pty Ltd
ISBN: 0992305314
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
Ways adults think about mathematics and the ways children think about mathematics are not necessarily the same. Listening, observing, and talking with children is necessary so that teachers, parents, and carers can figure out where they are coming from mathematically. If children’s mathematics encompasses their own meanings and understandings, and those meanings and understandings may be different to mine, then to provide effective assistance and support, I must make every effort to see mathematics from their perspective. In this book I highlight important aspects of children’s beginning understandings of mathematics, illustrated with examples taken from observations of children. In Chapter 1 I discuss the origins of mathematics in infants with illustrations provided from three major strands of mathematics: number, space, and measurement. In Chapter 2 I give examples of different ways young children use fingers in their efforts to solve simple mathematical problems, looking in detail at one child’s behavior. Chapter 3 focuses on a 4-year-old’s views about numbers. There is a commonly held belief that before children start school they have not really thought about numbers; that young children’s mathematical minds are a blank slate. Nothing could be further from the case. In Chapter 4 I discuss the topic of counting, focusing firstly on the spontaneous counting behavior of a 4-year-old, followed by interviews that further reveal how his knowledge of numbers and counting are related. Chapter 5 further discusses how children learn about numbers; in particular the various conceptions children have of the number 10. I explain the significance of part-whole knowledge in children’s numerical thinking in Chapter 6, with examples taken from preschool, the 2nd grade, and 5th grade. Chapter 7 is about sharing, its origins, contexts when sharing arises, types of sharing, and the relationship between sharing and counting, sharing and division, and sharing as a platform for learning fractions. In Chapter 8 I begin by discussing early geometric ideas, including basic operations for moving items in two dimensions, followed by three-dimensional activities. I discuss the key notion of conservation of quantity and conclude with comments about scale and distance. Chapter 9 begins with the question “What is measurement?” I discuss the issue of measurement error, then sketch out a general development of measurement thinking. Types of conservation are described, as are unit systems. Finally, children’s thinking in area situations, including common misconceptions, are discussed. In Chapter 10, after a story showing how fractions can be introduced naturally, I focus on the fraction knowledge of an 11-year-old, who responded to a range of tasks designed to tease out this child’s conceptual understanding of fractions.

Expect More: Children Can Do Remarkable Things
Author: Anne Grall Reichel, Ed.D.
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1452076324
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
This book encourages teachers, parents, grandparents, and volunteers who work with children to expect more. It focuses on the skills children will need to compete in a highly competitive global economy. From systems thinking, to interpreting complex visual images, to integrative thinking our children need a whole new skill set. For too long science and social studies have been moved to the back burner. Ironically these subjects hold great interest and opportunity to investigate concepts in depth. We need to bring them to center stage. Throughout the book the author provides many concrete examples of ways for teachers and parents to engage children in meaningful conversation and problem solving. Somewhere along the way we seem to have stopped challenging children and started enabling them instead. Perhaps this is through no fault of our own? As teachers and parents we genuinely care about children. We feel for them when they are sick, when they are bullied or when they are struggling. Quite simply it is our nature to protect. With the best of intentions we tend to try and eliminate the struggle. But the struggle is essential to growth and a personal sense of accomplishment. As children work their way through challenges they build the confidence and habits of mind needed to embrace the next challenge that comes along. This book is an invitation to adults to expect more of themselves and of the children they care about. The invitation is yours to accept!
