Big ideas in the mathematics curriculum for older school students, especially those that are hard to learn and hard to teach, are covered in this book. It will be a first port of call for research about teaching big ideas for students from 9-19 and also has implications for a wider range of students. These are the ideas that really matter, that students get stuck on, and that can be obstacles to future learning. It shows how students learn, why they sometimes get things wrong, and the strengths and pitfalls of various teaching approaches. Contemporary high-profile topics like modelling are included. The authors are experienced teachers, researchers and mathematics educators, and many teachers and researchers have been involved in the thinking behind this book, funded by the Nuffield Foundation. An associated website, hosted by the Nuffield Foundation, summarises the key messages in the book and connects them to examples of classroom tasks that address important learning issues about particular mathematical ideas.

Raising Achievement In Secondary Mathematics

A guide to teaching lower attaining students in secondary mathematics offers an alternative view of attainment and capability, arguing that teaching should be based on a learner's proficiency, rather than on knowledge deficits.

Open University Press

This accessible and thought-provoking book considers what beginning teachers need to know about learning, teaching, assessment, curriculum and professional development, in the context of teaching mathematics to eleven to nineteen year olds. It is part of a new series of books that has as its starting point the fact that PGCE students are already subject specialists.The authors show how mathematics teachers can communicate their own enthusiasm for the subject and inspire their pupils to learn and enjoy learning. They provide practical advice which will help teachers and student teachers to:  plan, organize, manage and assess classroom work make decisions about the content, ordering and level of difficulty of lessons make sense of new subject material and how it contributes to wider educational aims develop professionally by developing the subject as a whole. This is a comprehensive introduction to teaching mathematics in the secondary school which will be invaluable to teachers beginning their careers and those who are training to be mathematics teachers.

Mathematics: Teaching School Subjects 11-19

In our world shrouded in a devastating past, uncontrollable present and an insecure future where can we possibly find hope? Two words - Jesus Christ. In Christ alone we find forgiveness from past unseemly improprieties. Peace in our out-of-control day to day lives. Security that our future is in heaven with the Father. Jesus shed His blood and died so we might live fully alive. He Is Our Hope is a compilation of several years of devotions, with the first sent to a coworker in an emotionally tough place. A scripture, few words of encouragement and subject line that read He Is Our Hope began the ten-year devotional email ministry. God is still in the business of molding our character. Sometimes it's painful. Still, we cling tight to Jesus. After all, He Is Our Hope.

Mathematics as a Constructive Activity (Studies in Mathematical Thinking and Learning Series)

This book explains and demonstrates the teaching strategy of asking learners to construct their own examples of mathematical objects. The authors show that the creation of examples can involve transforming and reorganizing knowledge and that, although this is usually done by authors and teachers, if the responsibility for making examples is transferred to learners, their knowledge structures can be developed and extended. A multitude of examples to illustrate this is provided, spanning primary, secondary, and college levels. Readers are invited to learn from their own past experience augmented by tasks provided in the book, and are given direct experience of constructing examples through a collection of many tasks at many levels. Classroom stories show the practicalities of introducing such shifts in mathematics education. The authors examine how their approach relates to improving the learning of mathematics and raise future research questions.*Based on the authors' and others' theoretical and practical experience, the book includes a combination of exercises for the reader, practical applications for teaching, and solid scholarly grounding.*The ideas presented are generic in nature and thus applicable across every phase of mathematics teaching and learning.*Although the teaching methods offered are ones that engage learners imaginatively, these are also applied to traditional approaches to mathematics education; all tasks offered in the book are within conventional mathematics curriculum content.Mathematics as a Constructive Activity: Learners Generating Examples is intended for mathematics teacher educators, mathematics teachers, curriculum developers, task and test designers, and classroom researchers, and for use as a text in graduate-level mathematics education courses.

It has been speculated that all learners are capable of sophisticated mathematical thought if given supportive environments and challenging stimuli. Inclusive Mathematics 11-18 provides a timely guide for teachers wishing to eradicate underachievement and to ensure that all students, whatever their learning styles, backgrounds or abilities, benefit as fully as possible from their teaching.
