Teaching Secondary Mathematics
Author: David Rock
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136328149
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Solidly grounded in up-to-date research, theory and technology, Teaching Secondary Mathematics is a practical, student-friendly, and popular text for secondary mathematics methods courses. It provides clear and useful approaches for mathematics teachers, and shows how concepts typically found in a secondary mathematics curriculum can be taught in a positive and encouraging way. The thoroughly revised fourth edition combines this pragmatic approach with truly innovative and integrated technology content throughout. Synthesized content between the book and comprehensive companion website offers expanded discussion of chapter topics, additional examples and technological tips. Each chapter features tried-and-tested pedagogical techniques, problem solving challenges, discussion points, activities, mathematical challenges, and student-life based applications that will encourage students to think and do. New to the 4th edition: A fully revised and updated chapter on technological advancements in the teaching of mathematics Connections to both the updated NCTM Focal Points as well as the new Common Core State Standards are well-integrated throughout the text Problem solving challenges and sticky questions featured in each chapter to encourage students to think through everyday issues and possible solutions. A fresh interior design to better highlight pedagogical elements and key features A companion website with chapter-by-chapter video lessons, teacher tools, problem solving Q&As, helpful links and resources, and embedded graphing calculators.

Calculus From Approximation to Theory
Author: Dan Sloughter
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470455889
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 571
Book Description
Calculus from Approximation to Theory takes a fresh and innovative look at the teaching and learning of calculus. One way to describe calculus might be to say it is a suite of techniques that approximate curved things by flat things and through a limiting process applied to those approximations arrive at an exact answer. Standard approaches to calculus focus on that limiting process as the heart of the matter. This text places its emphasis on the approximating processes and thus illuminates the motivating ideas and makes clearer the scientific usefulness, indeed centrality, of the subject while paying careful attention to the theoretical foundations. Limits are defined in terms of sequences, the derivative is defined from the best affine approximation, and greater attention than usual is paid to numerical techniques and the order of an approximation. Access to modern computational tools is presumed throughout and the use of these tools is woven seamlessly into the exposition and problems. All of the central topics of a yearlong calculus course are covered, with the addition of treatment of difference equations, a chapter on the complex plane as the arena for motion in two dimensions, and a much more thorough and modern treatment of differential equations than is standard. Dan Sloughter is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Furman University with interests in probability, statistics, and the philosophy of mathematics and statistics. He has been involved in efforts to reform calculus instruction for decades and has published widely on that topic. This book, one of the results of that work, is very well suited for a yearlong introduction to calculus that focuses on ideas over techniques.
