Book excerpt: "Catalyzing Change in Elementary and Early Childhood Mathematics presents four key recommendations to guide conversations that take a critical look at current mathematics programs in order to identify practices, policies, and instructional approaches that hinder any child from becoming confident and capable mathematics learners. The book uses classroom vignettes and student work to illustrate how the eight effective mathematics teaching practices form a framework for equitable instruction and to discuss the teaching of important mathematics topics in number and operations, early algebra, geometry, and data"--

Book excerpt: "Catalyzing Change in Middle School Mathematics calls for all stakeholders involved in the teaching of mathematics to middle school students to critically examine the following: The identity and agency of students in middle school by being developmentally responsive while also creating and supporting a learning environment that takes into account each and every student's unique background, experience, cultural perspectives, traditions, and knowledge The inequitable structures in middle school mathematics, such as student tracking and ability grouping as well as teacher tracking, and eliminating those structures that impede students' agency and identity as capable learners and doers of mathematics Mathematics instructional practices that are equitable and attend to students as developing young adolescents, ensuring that each and every student has access to a high-quality mathematics program. How middle schools should build from a strong foundation of mathematics developed in the elementary grades, deeply engage students in the important mathematical ideas of the middle grades, and prepare students for their continued mathematics journey in high school and beyond"--

This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empower students to be the change—join the teaching mathematics for social justice movement! We live in an era in which students have —through various media and their lived experiences— a more visceral experience of social, economic, and environmental injustices. However, when people think of social justice, mathematics is rarely the first thing that comes to mind. Through model lessons developed by over 30 diverse contributors, this book brings seemingly abstract high school mathematics content to life by connecting it to the issues students see and want to change in the world. Along with expert guidance from the lead authors, the lessons in this book explain how to teach mathematics for self- and community-empowerment. It walks teachers step-by-step through the process of using mathematics—across all high school content domains—as a tool to explore, understand, and respond to issues of social injustice including: environmental injustice; wealth inequality; food insecurity; and gender, LGBTQ, and racial discrimination. This book features: Content cross-referenced by mathematical concept and social issues Downloadable instructional materials for student use User-friendly and logical interior design for daily use Guidance for designing and implementing social justice lessons driven by your own students’ unique passions and challenges Timelier than ever, teaching mathematics through the lens of social justice will connect content to students’ daily lives, fortify their mathematical understanding, and expose them to issues that will make them responsive citizens and leaders in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To truly engage in mathematics is to become curious and intrigued about regularities and patterns, then describe and explain them. A focus on the behavior of the operations allows students starting in the familiar territory of number and computation to progress to true engagement in the discipline of mathematics." -Susan Jo Russell, Deborah Schifter, and Virginia Bastable Algebra readiness: it's a topic of concern that seems to pervade every school district. How can we better prepare elementary students for algebra? More importantly, how can we help all children, not just those who excel in math, become ready for later instruction? The answer lies not in additional content, but in developing a way of thinking about the mathematics that underlies both arithmetic and algebra. Connecting Arithmetic to Algebra invites readers to learn about a crucial component of algebraic thinking: investigating the behavior of the operations. Nationally-known math educators Susan Jo Russell, Deborah Schifter, and Virginia Bastable and a group of collaborating teachers describe how elementary teachers can shape their instruction so that students learn to: *notice and describe consistencies across problems *articulate generalizations about the behavior of the operations *develop mathematical arguments based on representations to explain why such generalizations are or are not true. Through such work, students become familiar with properties and general rules that underlie computational strategies-including those that form the basis of strategies used in algebra-strengthening their understanding of grade-level content and at the same time preparing them for future studies. Each chapter is illustrated by lively episodes drawn from the classrooms of collaborating teachers in a wide range of settings. These provide examples of posing problems, engaging students in productive discussion, using representations to develop mathematical arguments, and supporting both students with a wide range of learning profiles. Staff Developers: Available online, the Course Facilitator's Guide provides math leaders with tools and resources for implementing a Connecting Arithmetic to Algebra workshop or preservice course.

Book excerpt: "The 38 problems and tasks for students in this book are organized into the major areas of the Common Core for grades 3-5: operations and algebraic thinking; number and operations in base ten; fractions; measurements and data; and geometry. For each task, teachers will find a rich, engaging problem or set of problems to use as a lesson starting point, with accompanying discussions that tie the tasks to specific Common Core domains and clusters. Follow-up sections highlight the CCSS Standards for Mathematical Practice students will engage in as they work on these problems."--Back cover.
