Educational: Mathematics and numeracy

Book SynopsisThe Language of Mathematics Education: An Expanded Glossary of Key Terms and Concepts in Mathematics Teaching and Learning offers mathematics teachers, mathematics education professionals and students a valuable resource in which common terms are defined and expounded upon in short essay format. The shared vocabulary and terminology relating to mathematics teaching and learning, and used by mathematics educators is an essential component of work conducted in the field. The authors provide an overview of more than 100 terms commonly used in mathematics teaching and learning. Each term is defined and is followed by a short overview of the concept under discussion that includes several bibliographic references the reader can use for further investigation. In addition to terms specific to the domain of mathematics education, select key terms common across all fields of education (e.g., curriculum, epistemology, metacognition) are included. The goal for this book is to serve as a resource for those entering the field as they navigate the language and terminology of mathematics education and as an asset for more established professionals who wish to gain additional insights into these ideas.Table of ContentsForeword  Barbara J.

Book SynopsisThis second edition of the International Handbook of Mathematics Teacher Education builds on and extends the topics/ideas in the first edition while maintaining the themes for each of the volumes. Collectively, the authors looked back beyond and within the last 10 years to establish the state-of-the-art and continuing and new trends in mathematics teacher and mathematics teacher educator education, and looked forward regarding possible avenues for teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and policy makers to consider to enhance and/or further investigate mathematics teacher and teacher educator learning and practice, in particular. The volume editors provide introductions to each volume that highlight the subthemes used to group related chapters, which offer meaningful lenses to see important connections within and across chapters. Readers can also use these subthemes to make connections across the four volumes, which, although presented separately, include topics that have relevance across them since they are all situated in the common focus regarding mathematics teachers. Volume 4, The Mathematics Teacher Educator as a Developing Professional, focuses on the professionalization of mathematics teacher educators, which, since the first Handbook, continues to grow as an important area for investigation and development. It addresses teacher educators’ knowledge, learning and practice with teachers/instructors of mathematics. Thus, as the fourth volume in the series, it appropriately attends to those who hold central roles in mathematics teacher education to provide an excellent culmination to the handbook.Table of ContentsPreface  Olive Chapman List of Figures and Tables Mathematics Teacher Educators as Developing Professionals: An Introduction  Kim Beswick Part 1: Theories and Conceptualisations of Mathematics Teacher Educators and Their Characteristics 1.

Book SynopsisCreativity of an Aha! Moment and Mathematics Education introduces bisociation, the theory of Aha! moment creativity into mathematics education. It establishes relationships between Koestler’s bisociation theory and constructivist learning theories. It lays down the basis for a new theory integrating creativity with learning to describe moments of insight at different levels of student development. The collection illuminates the creativity of the eureka experience in mathematics through different lenses of affect, cognition and conation, theory of attention and constructivist theories of learning, neuroscience and computer creativity. Since Aha! is a common human experience, the book proposes bisociation as the basis of creativity for all. It discusses how to facilitate and assess Aha! creativity in mathematics classrooms. Contributors are: William Baker, Stephen Campbell, Bronislaw Czarnocha, Olen Dias, Gerald Goldin, Peter Liljedahl, John Mason, Benjamin Rott, Edme Soho, Hector Soto, Hannes Stoppel, David Tall, Ron Tzur and Laurel Wolf.

Book SynopsisEco-Mathematics Education strives to show how everyone can experience the embedded connection between mathematics and the natural world. The authors’ sincere hope is that by doing so, we can radically change the way we come to understand mathematics, as well as humanity’s place in the ecosystem. The book hopes to accomplish this by providing in-depth lesson plans and resources for educators and anyone interested in teaching and learning mathematics through an ecological aesthetic perspective. All lessons are based on the inquiry method of teaching, aligned to standards, incorporate art projects inspired by famous artists, and utilize recycled and/or natural materials as much as possible.Table of ContentsAbout the Authors Introduction  1 Integrating Nature and Mathematics  2 The Art of Mathematics  3 Ecojustice Mathematics Education  4 Organization and Outline 1 Nature’s Growth Pattern  1 Background for Educators  2 Introductory 1 Lesson Plan  3 Introductory 2 Lesson Plan  4 Advanced Lesson Plan 2 Nature’s Balancing Act  1 Background for Educators  2 Introductory Lesson Plan  3 Advanced Lesson Plan 3 Nature’s Monstrous Shapes  1 Background for Educators  2 Developing Lesson Plan  3 Advanced Lesson Plan 4 Nature’s Circles  1 Background for Educators  2 Advanced 1 Lesson Plan  3 Advanced 2 Lesson Plan  4 Advanced Lesson Plan 5 Nature’s Networks  1 Background for Educators  2 Introductory Lesson Plans  3 Developing Lesson Plan 6 Nature’s Curves  1 Background for Educators  2 Advanced 1 Lesson Plan  3 Advanced 2 Lesson Plan 7 Nature’s Creatures  1 Background for Educators  2 Developing Lesson Plan  3 Advanced Lesson Plan 8 Nature’s Symmetry  1 Background for Educators  2 Introductory Lesson Plan  3 Developing Lesson Plan 9 Nature’s Numbers  1 Background for Educators  2 Developing Lesson Plan  3 Advanced Lesson Plan Conclusion  1 A Pedagogical Reflection  2 A Utopian Vision References Index
