Book Description
Excerpt from A Study of Mathematical Education Including the Teaching of Arithmetic This study is based upon twenty years' experience Of school and college education ranging through all grades, including the very elements of counting and form in the kindergarten, the mathematics appropriate to the school, and the standard required Of students for an Honours Degree in our universities. Conclusions based on class-teaching and those arrived at by experiment and by a private study Of the individual have served both to correct and to supplement each other. The substance of the present volume has also formed the introductory part Of a course of lectures on the teaching of mathematics, which, for many years, I have given in various institutions to classes of teachers from almost all types and grades Of schools, elementary as well as secondary and tertiary.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of Arithmetic The Teachers College Record for March, 1903, contained an article on Mathematics in the Elementary School by the author's colleague Professor mcmurry and himself. This number, how ever, has long since been out of print, and as a result of this fact it was thought best in the autumn of 1908 to prepare a new number of the.record on The Teaching of Arithmetic. This was done by the author, and the article appeared in January, 1909. Although it was thought that the unusually large edition was sufficient for all demands for some years to come, it was ex hauste\d within a few weeks, and it became necessary to print the article in book form. In spite of the fact that the work was originally written in a popular style, to the end that it might be read by those who have no more interest in mathematics than in the various other subjects of the curriculum, it has been thought best to make but a few changes in arranging for its publication in the present form. Intended as it is for those who are teaching or supervising the work in arithmetic in the elemen tary schools, it would hardly serve its purpose if it departed widely from the practical and entered the domain of pure theory. As between influencing the few or the many on a topic of such general interest 'it has been thought better to adopt the latter course, and to prepare a book that might have place in educational reading circles generally and serve as a basis for the work in the class-room for the training of teachers.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of Arithmetic: A Manual for Teachers A. The Practical Values. B. The Traditional Values, which include 1. The Disciplinary Values. 2. The Pleasure Values. 3. The Cultural Value. 4. The Preparatory Value. An analysis of each of these values now presents itself for study. The Practical Values of Arithmetic. - The utilitarian value of arithmetic has long served to explain its traditional place in the elementary school curriculum. The mere routine activities of daily life demand a mastery of certain number facts and number processes. In addition, a care fully selected curriculum in arithmetic helps to give children an insight into social activities that would otherwise be unknown to them. It is necessary that children understand the meaning of averages and the modes of computing them; that they know the meaning of common mathematical symbols, of percentages of increases and decreases, of rates of taxation, of interest, of insurance - in a word, the common business practices of social life.

Book Description
Now is a time of great interest in mathematics education. Student performance, curriculum, and teacher education are the subjects of much scrutiny and debate. Studies on the mathematical knowledge of prospective and practicing U. S. teachers suggest ways to improve their mathematical educations. It is often assumed that because the topics covered in K-12 mathematics are so basic, they should be easy to teach. However, research in mathematics education has shown that to teach well,substantial mathematical understanding is necessary--even to teach whole-number arithmetic. Prospective teachers need a solid understanding of mathematics so that they can teach it as a coherent, reasoned activity and communicate its elegance and power. This volume gathers and reports current thinkingon curriculum and policy issues affecting the mathematical education of teachers. It considers two general themes: (1) the intellectual substance in school mathematics; and (2) the special nature of the mathematical knowledge needed for teaching. The underlying study was funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The mathematical knowledge needed for teaching is quite different from that required by students pursuing other mathematics-related professions. Material here is gearedtoward stimulating efforts on individual campuses to improve programs for prospective teachers. This report contains general recommendations for all grades and extensive discussions of the specific mathematical knowledge required for teaching elementary, middle, and high-school grades, respectively.It is also designed to marshal efforts in the mathematical sciences community to back important national initiatives to improve mathematics education and to expand professional development opportunities. The book will be an important resource for mathematics faculty and other parties involved in the mathematical education of teachers. Information for our distributors: This series is published in cooperation with the Mathematical Association of America.
