Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book enables teachers to effectively meet the needs of their most able mathematicians. Using a tried and tested set of principles developed and used by The Able Children's Education Unit at Brunel University, the author demonstrates how to: identify high mathematical ability in a pupil, plan suitably challenging activities and teach them most effectively within the existing National Numeracy framework, make the most of the classroom resources available, including ICT and external agencies, implement strategies for differentiation, illustrated with real-life classroom examples. Accessible in style and featuring practical case studies throughout, this book will give teachers and student teachers the confidence and knowledge to effectively challenge and develop the skills of the most able mathematician.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work aims to help primary and secondary teachers to recognize and teach mathematically able pupils. Roy Kennard reviews the characteristics of the very able pupils and shows how these characteristics are reflected in the National Curriculum for Mathematics. He goes on to show how: mathematically able children can be challenged through problem solving and interactive discussion; and the use of in-depth case studies and other examples of pupils' work makes it possible for teachers to see the consequences of the approaches discussed. This text also considers whole school organizational and leadership approaches and should be useful to school management teams or "gifted and talented coordinators." This revised and updated second edition should be of interest to teachers, advisers, lecturers and students with an interest in securing effective provision for mathematically able pupils.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades teachers and parents have accepted the judgment that some students just aren't good at math. John Mighton-the founder of a revolutionary math program designed to help failing math students-feels that not only is this wrong, but that it has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. A pioneering educator, Mighton realized several years ago that children were failing math because they had come to believe they were not good at it. Once students lost confidence in their math skills and fell behind, it was very difficult for them to catch up, particularly in the classroom. He knew this from experience, because he had once failed math himself. Using the premise that anyone can learn math and anyone can teach it, Mighton's unique teaching method isolates and describes concepts so clearly that students of all skill levels can understand them. Rather than fearing failure, students learn from and build on their own successes and gain the confidence and self-esteem they need to be inspired to learn. Mighton's methods, set forth in The Myth of Ability and implemented in hundreds of Canadian schools, have had astonishing results: Not only have they helped children overcome their fear of math, but the resulting confidence has led to improved reading and motor skills as well. The Myth of Ability will transform the way teachers and parents look at the teaching of mathematics and, by extension, the entire process of education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results from national and international assessments indicate that school children in the United States are not learning mathematics well enough. Many students cannot correctly apply computational algorithms to solve problems. Their understanding and use of decimals and fractions are especially weak. Indeed, helping all children succeed in mathematics is an imperative national goal. However, for our youth to succeed, we need to change how we’re teaching this discipline. Helping Children Learn Mathematics provides comprehensive and reliable information that will guide efforts to improve school mathematics from pre--kindergarten through eighth grade. The authors explain the five strands of mathematical proficiency and discuss the major changes that need to be made in mathematics instruction, instructional materials, assessments, teacher education, and the broader educational system and answers some of the frequently asked questions when it comes to mathematics instruction. The book concludes by providing recommended actions for parents and caregivers, teachers, administrators, and policy makers, stressing the importance that everyone work together to ensure a mathematically literate society.

It certainly helps to develop an enthusiasm for a subject most adults tend to say "I′m no good at..."′ - Early Years Educator ‘A wonderful book, packed with practical ideas and activities to help all students love maths.’ - Jo Boaler, Professor of Mathematics Education, Stanford University Fostering an enthusiasm for mathematics in young children is a vital part of supporting their mathematical development. Underpinned by subject and pedagogical knowledge, case studies and research-based perspectives, the authors provide clear guidance on how to support young children′s learning and understanding in an effective and engaging way. Contemporary approaches to developing essential mathematical learning for young children are explored, including: play, practical activities and talk for mathematics outdoor learning understanding pattern counting, calculation and place value measures and shape problem solving and representing mathematics assessment working with parents. Written for both trainees and practitioners working with children aged 0 to 8 years, including those studying for Early Years and Early Childhood degrees and those on Primary PGCE and Primary Education courses, this book offers mathematical subject knowledge and teaching ideas in one volume. Helen Taylor is Course Leader of PGCE Primary Part-time Mathematics at Canterbury Christ Church University.

Book excerpt: This text is for students in early childhood teacher education courses. It focuses on mathematics education with children from three to eight years, in preschool and the early primary grades. It could also be used by teachers wishing to become familiar with maths in these early childhood years. The integration of theory and practice occurs through topics about how children learn, what they learn as young mathematicians, the provision of an appropriate learning environment, and relevant teaching strategies. The text provides a developmental basis for new approaches to mathematics education, and explains how teachers can organise the learning environment so children can construct their own knowledge. It steers a middle course between closed, over-structured teaching and laissez- faire, unsupported experience. Detailed lists of developmental sequences help teachers to identify children's mathematical thinking so they can offer appropriate support at the right time. It offers guidance in the use of curriculum documents from state education departments, for developing a mathematics program. In view of increasing use of games in maths education, a chapter offers not only games, but general principles about the use, purchase and adaptation of games. Each chapter includes activities for students.
