Book Description
Excerpt from A History of Elementary Mathematics: With Hints on Methods of Teaching In the preparation of this history, I have made extensive use of the works of Cantor, Hankel, Unger, De Morgan, Pea cock, Gow, Allman, Loria, and of other prominent writers On the history of mathematics. Original sources have been consulted, whenever opportunity has presented itself. It gives me much pleasure to acknowledge the assistance ren dered by the United States Bureau of Education, in. For warding for examination a number of old text-books which otherwise would have been inaccessible to me. It should also be said that a large number of passages in this book are taken, with only slight alteration, from my History of Mathematics, Macmillan co., 1895. Some parts of the present work are, therefore, not independent of the earlier one. It has been my privilege to have my manuscript read by two scholars of well-known ability, - Dr. G. B. Halsted of the University of Texas, and Professor F. H. Loud of Colorado College. Through their suggestions and corrections many infelicities in language and several inaccuracies of statement have disappeared. Valuable assistance in proof-reading has been rendered by Professor Loud, by Mr. P. E. Doudna, formerly Fellow in Mathematics at the University of Wis consin, and by Mr. F. K. Bailey, a student in Colorado College. I extend to them my sincere thanks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Studies of teachers in the U.S. often document insufficient subject matter knowledge in mathematics. Yet, these studies give few examples of the knowledge teachers need to support teaching, particularly the kind of teaching demanded by recent reforms in mathematics education. Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics describes the nature and development of the knowledge that elementary teachers need to become accomplished mathematics teachers, and suggests why such knowledge seems more common in China than in the United States, despite the fact that Chinese teachers have less formal education than their U.S. counterparts. The anniversary edition of this bestselling volume includes the original studies that compare U.S and Chinese elementary school teachers’ mathematical understanding and offers a powerful framework for grasping the mathematical content necessary to understand and develop the thinking of school children. Highlighting notable changes in the field and the author’s work, this new edition includes an updated preface, introduction, and key journal articles that frame and contextualize this seminal work.

Excerpt from Elementary Algebra: Teachers' Edition It is expected that this book will prove of great advantage to every teacher of a class which does not have the time to solve every one of the numerous examples, by aiding him to select the examples best adapted to the needs of his particular class. It is hoped that every teacher who is pressed for time will find relief by not being obliged to work out every example for himself.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of Mathematics Perhaps no subject is so directly in the flux of the instability of things as mathematics. For cen turies this subject has held the unenviable reputa tion of being tortuous; yet man, because of his un ending need of the subject, has endured silently. It has been one of the necessary evils of life, yet, did man but know it, wonderfully full of beauty in its symmetry and exactness. Indispensible to the man who builds, to the man who barters, to the man who meditates, it has ever been shrouded with a mantle of mysticism. One might say with truth that they who have the greatest need of the find ings of mathematical investigation have the smallest Opportunity to acquire a knowledge of them.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of Arithmetic The teaching Of arithmetic has, like the teaching Of other things, improved during the last forty years. The improvement has been a steady growth due almost entirely to the teachers themselves. It is not the residuum Of a series Of fashionable innovations hastily adopted and quietly discarded, nor is it the kind Of evolution which has left, in turn, our Handwork, Drawing, Language Teaching and Infant School Method in a state of chaos, waiting reverently for a pronouncement from some distinguished native or foreign dogmatist. Briefly stated, the teacher of arithmetic to-day wishes his pupils to be able to do everything that he himself did at school and to do it equally well, omitting only those units, measures and processes that he has never found useful he insists from the earliest stage that the problems his pupils solve should be such as actually occur from day to day in an ordinary man's life, or better still, in the life Of a boy or girl and that with this in view, many exercises should be based on the current geography, or geometry, or handwork of his class.

Book Description
Excerpt from Training of Teachers of Elementary and Secondary Mathematics: International Commission on the Teaching of Mathematics; The American Report; Committee No. V For the other high-school studies, such as Latin, English, German, physics, and chemistry, there has been a corresponding development of professional courses on the teaching of these subjects. This general interest in the professional preparation of teachers for secondary education, which is thus being shown in many of our American colleges and universities, has led to a feeling on the part of a number of these institutions that teaching must be recognized as a profession, and that. Training for it must be as formal and definite as for law, medicine, or engineering. This has resulted in the establish ment at a number of our universities of schools of education, each with a formal organization and a separate faculty, these being con sidered as professional schools and as such ranking, in general, with the schools of law. Medicine, and engineering. 111 these schools attention has been given particularly to preparation for secondary teaching, as the various State normal schools have, in general, solved the problem of preparing teachers for the elementary schools. Of the various schools of education now existing in the United States the oldest are Teachers College of Columbia. University and the School of Pedagogy of New York University. Teachers Col lege was founded in 1888 as a privately endowed institution under the presidency of Nicholas Murray Butler, and was then known as the New York College for the Training of Teachers. It was a. School of university grade and enjoyed reciprocal relations with Columbia University. In 1898 it became one of the professional schools of Columbia University, ranking with the schools of law, medicine, and engineering. Teachers College was the first. Professional college of education of university grade separate from a university, though now a part of Columbia University.
