Book Description
Math Contents Summary Written and edited by experienced math teachers, No Calculators, Please! focuses on building key arithmetic skills including addition, multiplication, subtraction and division. Suitable for students at U.S. math grade level 3 and up, the comic offers children a clear, friendly and plain English understanding of the skill of long division. Told through an imaginative cartoon tale about a chess clock called Desmond who hails from America's olden days and the time of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, the Yamie Chess characters (who represent each chessboard piece) whisk children's imagination away to a magical dream world of division icebergs and math rainforests in a numbers adventure set around the Scholar's Mate position on the board. Information for Parents and Teachers Giving students a supplemental grounding in long division principles and number operations, young learners will either revise or learn from scratch the life skill of how to do basic arithmetic operations as part of the long division algorithm, without using a calculator. No Calculators, Please! is a math comic that will nurture children's confidence in counting, analyzing numerical data and handling arithmetic, making kids more independent and able to do more arithmetic in their heads without relying on computers and calculators. Aligned to the NCTM standards, the math comic explores the Scholar's Mate position in classic chess, so kids will also learn how to nicely checkmate their friends (and parents!) in just 4 moves!

Book Description
I know who I am Kelvin seemed desperate to win his father’s approval. However, Mr Eze not only seemed unwilling to bestow it, but hell bent in making life unbearable for his acclaimed son. Kelvin thought it would be best to find his true family rather than endure the torture of being the unwanted child. He realised that his quest for recognition was unlikely to succeed, so he set his eyes on freedom. In the meantime, Kelvin expected that a good academic performance would change his luck and put him right with Mr Eze or at least boost his confidence in his abilities. With all his attention on his studies, competing for the best grades against the leading brains in his class, especially Christian, an indomitable rival, he would not let school romance get in the way fo his goal. But slowly and steadily, Chioma, gained his trust and won him over. He would have to make a decision between holding on to his moral principle or satisfying his human desire for friendship. New Home, New Identity Marginalised and decimated, the Biafran people were forced to go to war and secede from Nigeria. But decades after losing the war and embracing the Nigerian identity, they are still not treated as equal citizens in their home country. As a new wave of terrorism sweeps the northern parts of the country, the Biafran people, predominantly Igbo are again decimated as they have been for decades in every crises and this led to renewed discussions about their independence. For Biafra, the fight for equality was over and their Sovereignty was not negotiable. For Kelvin, it wasn’t very different, and so his quest for truth and independence must begin. His compulsory holiday in Igbo land would expose him to the truth that might have indirectly caused him to abandon his academic pursuit. Perhaps, it was just an excuse to free himself from the clutch of Mr Eze and begin his quest for the truth about his identity.

Mathematical Encounters and Pedagogical Detours
Author: Boris Koichu
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030584348
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
This book explores the idea that mathematics educators and teachers are also problem solvers and learners, and as such they constantly experience mathematical and pedagogical disturbances. Accordingly, many original tasks and learning activities are results of personal mathematical and pedagogical disturbances of their designers, who then transpose these disturbances into learning opportunities for their students. This learning-transposition process is a cornerstone of mathematics teacher education as a lived, developing enterprise. Mathematical Encounters and Pedagogical Detours unfold the process and illustrate it by various examples. The book engages readers in original tasks, shares the results of task implementation and describes how these results inform the development of new tasks, which often intertwine mathematics and pedagogy. Most importantly, the book includes a dialogue between the authors based on the stories of their own learning, which triggers continuous exploration of learning opportunities for their students.

Curricular Program Implementation in the Context of Randomized Field Trials
Author: Gloria Isabel Miller
Publisher: Stanford University
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
Abstract curricular program implementation in the context of randomized field trials Gloria Isabel Miller This study examined three cases of commercially available curricular program implementations to determine if a unified approach to measuring the level of implementation was possible (proof of concept). Further, the study investigated whether the level of curriculum and implementation plan specificity made a difference to the strength of implementation achieved in classrooms; and described the implementation evolution in different contexts. The study sample consists of a total of 163 teachers in eight school districts across the United States. In each case teachers were randomly assigned to using the curricular innovation or their currently used materials and processes. The three cases, HS-Math, NewScience, and MathIntervention, were purposely chosen to represent three different points of curricular and implementation specificity and two different subject areas, math and science. Each case features a commercially available program that also had opportunities for teachers to use "electronic" technology to enhance their learning or to engage their students. The cases represent differing student grade levels. The cases are different enough to provide a range that exercises the measurement techniques introduced in this study so results can begin to generalize across curricular programs and grades. However, the cases are similar enough in research design, instrumentation, and data collection methods to make them comparable. A key contribution of this investigation is the creation of a framework to measure the level of implementation (the extent to which the teacher and students display the actions, behaviors, and interactions expected by using the innovation). The unified conceptual framework arrived at by using an Activity Theory perspective together with the analytical methods employed provide a way to view the rich complex interaction of implementation as a system with the larger system of the school organization. Data from the analysis revealed that variations in the level of implementation were no different regardless of the level of specificity. A strong finding of this work is that implementation evolves slowly even when the curricular program is scripted and coaching support is provided to teachers. The paper concludes with implications for policy and future research.
