Now more than ever there is an emphasis on reasoning, problem-solving, and communication skills for students. Until now, there has not been one source for activities, materials, and problems especially for middle school math teachers and their students. Now there is! This book includes 87 interesting math activities and real-life math problems, with extensions for different ability levels for each activity. Includes easy to follow instructions on producing a wide variety of classroom games and other teaching aids with inexpensive materials. Using physical space and materials in ways that facilitate learning, each activity offers the basis for an innovative, hands-on lesson designed to develop a mathematical concept, reinforce a skill, and help students gain experience in problem-solving, reasoning, and communications. The activities cover such mathematical concepts as whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, geometry, algebra, probability, and statistics. For anyone who instructs children ages 6-8 in math.

Strategy Games To Enhance Problem-Solving Ability In Mathematics (Problem Solving in Mathematics and Beyond)

Games are seen only for recreation. However, this book shows that games can be used to strengthen problem-solving skills and beyond. This book presents strategy games and discusses for each one solutions towards a winning position in the game. In most cases, these strategies are analogous to problem-solving strategies in mathematics. Readers are also exposed to a wide variety of games from several different cultures, which will broaden the perspective of the readers. 
 Readership: Students and general public interested in mathematics in strategy games and problem solving.

Many schools throughout the United States are now employing coaches to support teachers in the teaching of mathematics. Very often, these are professionals selected from the current teaching ranks who did not receive any special training to serve as a coach. This book provides the skills, knowledge, and lessons from experience that lead such a mentor to function effectively. Aside from describing the basic duties of an effective math coach, we also provide a plethora of resources to enrich instruction, improve problem-solving direction, and provide teachers with a wide variety of techniques to enhance their teaching effectiveness. 
 Readership: General public, math coaches, math teachers, school leaders.
