Product Description In our efforts to reform mathematics education, we've
learned a tremendous amount about young students' strategies and the ways they
construct knowledge, without fully understanding how to support such development
over time. The Dutch do. So, funded by the NSF and Exxon, Mathematics in the
City was begun, a collaborative inservice project that pooled the best thinking
from both countries. In Young Mathematicians at Work, Catherine Fosnot and
Maarten Dolk reveal what they learned after several years of intensive study in
numerous urban classrooms. The first in a three-volume set, Young Mathematicians
at Work focuses on young children between the ages of four and eight as they
construct a deep understanding of number and the operations of addition and
subtraction. Rather than offer unrelated activities, Fosnot and Dolk provide a
concerted, unified description of development, with a focus on big ideas,
progressive strategies, and emerging models. Drawing from the work of the Dutch
mathematician Hans Freudenthal, they define mathematics as "mathematizing" - the
activity of structuring, modeling, and interpreting one's "lived world"
mathematically. And they describe teachers who use rich problematic situations
to promote inquiry, problem solving, and construction, and children who raise
and pursue their own mathematical ideas. In contrast to other books on math
reform, Young Mathematicians at Work provides a new look at the teaching of
computation. It moves beyond the current debate about algorithms to argue for
deep number sense and the development of a repertoire of strategies based on
landmark numbers and operations. Sample minilessons on the use of the open
number line model are provided to show you how to support the development of
efficient computation. About the Author Catherine Twomey Fosnot is Professor of
Education at The City College of the City of New York and Director of
Mathematics in the City. She twice has won the "best writing" award from AERA's
Constructivist SIG and she was the recipient of the "young scholar" award by
Educational Communication and Technology Journal. She is an author of several
books on mathematics education, most recently, the Young Mathematicians at Work
series. Maarten Dolk is a researcher and developer of mathematics education at
the Freudenthal Institute in the Netherlands, where he has been involved in the
development of professional materials for teachers and for student teachers. He
also has directed an inservice project in the Netherlands for teacher educators
and staff developers. His work in the United States is related to the inservice
of primary school teachers. He is the coauthor of the Young Mathematicians at

What's Smaller Than a Pygmy Shrew? Author: Wells, Robert E. Grant, Christy ISBN: 0-8075-8838-5 LCCN: Dewey: Number: |
Paperback Albert Whitman & Company
From School Library Journal Grade 3-4?In this presentation that goes from
small to infinitesimal, Wells compares the size of a tiny animal (a pygmy shrew)
to an insect (a ladybug), which is in turn contrasted with one-celled animals,
bacteria, molecules, atoms, and sub-atomic particles. Bright, colorful cartoons
and a text that looks like hand lettering in a variety of fonts are jauntily
arranged across the pages. Readers are encouraged to try to imagine being the
sizes of the creatures under discussion. This lighthearted treatment is fine for
the familiar, but begins to become confusing for a paramecium, an amoeba, and
bacteria. Viruses are skipped as the narrative continues to include molecules,
atoms, quarks, and electrons of the physical sciences instead of a parallel
journey through diminishing sizes in the animal world to perhaps ovum, sperm,
and DNA. The book has the look of an introduction for young readers. As the
narrative continues, however, many terms are introduced, without pronunciation
guides even in the two-page glossary, and the cartoon approach becomes cluttered
and less effective.?Frances E. Millhouser, Reston Regional Library, VA Copyright
1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist Ages 6^-9. In Is a Blue Whale
the Biggest Thing There Is? (1993), Wells used words and pictures to give young
children an inkling of how big things can be. In his latest book, he reverses
the concept to introduce smallness. A pygmy shrew looks small beside an
elephant, but not when it's next to a ladybug. In turn, the ladybug looks
enormous compared to a paramecium. Showing that even a single cell is not the
smallest thing, Wells introduces molecules, atoms, electrons, and quarks. The
acrylic-and-ink artwork includes touches of humor. Despite the inherent problems
in illustrating what cannot be observed, Wells introduces a challenging concept
in a way that will entertain and intrigue young children. Carolyn Phelan --This

Description Thinking Mathematically provides a rich portrait of arithmetic set
in a broader perspective on mathematics, and on what it means to do and learn
it. . . . The book overflows with supports for the mathematical work of the
teacher in pressing students, provoking, supporting, pointing, and attending

Cognitively Guided Instruction, Thomas Carpenter, Megan Franke, and Linda Levi
helped tens of thousands of teachers understand children's intuitive
problem-solving and computational processes. More important, the authors helped
teachers figure out how to use that knowledge to enhance students' understanding
of arithmetic. In this book the same author team takes teaching and learning
mathematics to the next level, revealing how children's developing knowledge of
the powerful unifying ideas of mathematics can deepen their understanding of
arithmetic and provide a solid foundation for learning algebra. This book also
shows how teachers can increase their own knowledge of mathematics in the
process of interacting with their children and reflecting about their practice.
Thinking Mathematically provides numerous examples of classroom dialogues that
indicate how algebraic ideas emerge in children's thinking and what problems and
questions help to elicit them. Special features of the book help teachers
develop their own understanding of mathematics along with their students':
Teacher Commentaries capture the voices of a number of teachers, providing
realistic portrayals of what happens in class. End-of-chapter Challenges offer a
variety of problems and activities for teachers to increase their own knowledge
of mathematics and to help their students develop algebraic thinking. An
accompanying CD provides rich illustrations of ideas in the bookextended

Paperback Prentice Hall
Review "This text gives very specific learning struggles that are not
addressed in general math texts. The examples paint real children with real
struggles who are diagnosed with very clear and easy to understand methods. I
found the DAS and MIP very helpful in showing how to assist students in their
struggles with specific concepts." - Dr. Yolanda De La Cruz, Arizona State
University "It provides a closer look at the problems students exhibit through
the examples of the student's work and then gives the preservice teacher clues
as to how to help the student." - Dr. John W. Dougherty, Lindenwood University
From the Back Cover Until now, no book has dedicated itself more fully to
addressing the cognitive needs of children in grades 1 through 6 who
underachieve in mathematics. Teaching Children Who Struggle with Mathematics: A
Systematic Approach to Analysis and Correction is designed to help teachers
assess these students' individual abilities and characteristics as well as
choose appropriate and effective instructional strategies. The book is rich with
case studies of underachieving math students and assorted examples of how
teachers can assess and differentiate instruction for these students through the
use of two key text features-the Data Analysis Sheet (DAs) and the Math
Improvement Plan (MIP). The DAS is used to record observed student behavior in a
variety of relevant categories and to use such recordings to assess the
student's math skills. The. MIP then provides an individualized plan for
intervention and instruction upon completion of the DAs. When used together, the
.DAS and MIP give teachers two powerful tools for properly assessing and
teaching students who struggle with mathematics.

activities for each day of the school year, the Resource Books for grades 1-5
give students ample opportunity to visually "solve" field-tested word problems
by drawing a picture. A fourth Resource Book for grades K-3 offers a similar
format, based on animal themes. Several problems have multiple solutions, which
helps promote divergent thinking. The Resource Books are ideal for easy
integration into your current math, reading, or art curriculum. Student
Workbooks for grades K-3 provide 45 new field-tested word problems to help young
students boost reasoning and creative problem solving--one picture at a time.

From Parents' Choice® What are the odds of tossing heads four times in
succession? How many ways can five band members arrange themselves for a group
photo? These are among the 26 puzzles in this book that involve combinations,
predictions, luck and chance. Logical thinking is more important than math in
solving the brainteasers, although the proofs usually involve mathematical
explanations. The cover is a game board in which nine octagons must be rotated
to positions to make the colors on all adjacent sides match. A 2000 Parents'

Product Description Think outside the box! Card Shark, Marble Madness, Sock It
to Me! & Dizzy Walk In the beginning there's "Jewels of Xanadu" on the
cover-where the chances of unlocking the special color-coded safe could be 1 in
millions or 1 in 64, depending on where you start. And once you've survived
that, another 25 mind-stretching puzzles await. Win a coin-toss game with three
friends, calculate the real odds of winning the lottery, predict the chance of
pulling the one green marble out of a box of red ones. Think like a
mathematician, making sense of seemingly random events. Bring a pencil, but
remember-(1) you don't have to be a whiz to play, because (2) the most important
skills you'll need are curiosity and an open mind. (Solutions and explanations

Product Description Good teaching is the critical factor that helps students
"get" math. Thanks to Susan O'Connell, you can provide top-notch mathematics
instruction - even if you've never felt comfortable teaching it before. With Now
I Get It, you'll increase your repertoire of instructional strategies as well as
receive the information, reflective tools, and resources you need to make them
work effectively. As she did in her popular Introduction to Problem Solving,
O'Connell provides a practical guide to teaching math for understanding and
clarity, only this time moving one step further to provide a complete picture of
elementary math instruction. She presents advice and insight about: what a
teacher's role is during math time how to actively engage your students in
mathematical thinking, and how to know when they are connecting with math
concepts or may require further support how to teach both computational skills
and mathematical thinking skills how to use problem solving, cooperative
projects, writing assignments, and real-life examples to stimulate and maintain
interest how to incorporate math talk and vocabulary into your lessons. But Now
I Get It is much more than a book of teaching ideas. Aligned to the NCTM
standards and filled with smart ideas about helping students reach mandated
testing benchmarks, it also offers all the research and theory you need to
provide best-practice instruction. Also included are reflection questions to
stimulate professional growth and an accompanying CD that bolsters your teaching
with more than one hundred pages of reproducible lists, charts, activities, and
rubrics, some of which can be modified to fit your specific classroom needs.
Help children make mathematics an integral part of how they live in and
appreciate their world. Read Now I Get It, and find new ways to make your math
instruction more effective and more exciting for yourself and your students.

Paperback National Council of Teachers of English
Product Description The sample assessment items in this volume are sorted
according to the strands of number and operations, algebra, geometry,
measurement, and data analysis and probability. Because one goal of assessment
is to determine students abilities to communicate mathematically, the writing
team suggests ways to extend or modify multiple-choice and short-answer items to
elicit students thinking. The writers also present various rubrics as examples
of how teachers might score extended-response questions. When students know in
advance how their answers will be evaluated, they will strive to meet expected
criteria. The hope is that teachers will find this material useful as they plumb
their students thinking and consider how students responses can guide their
instructional decisions.

Description Veteran teachers will see on these pages enlightening images of
their own struggles. For novices this book is an enticing invitation to
participate in mathematics reform. - Teaching Children Mathematics Mathematical
Power is a book that shows how to bring the goals of the NCTM Standards to life
in a classroom on a day-to day basis. Although it is the story of one classroom,
the implications go far beyond this classroom. As the teachers here struggle to
examine their practices, teachers will connect with them and gain a clearer
picture of what it means to teach mathematics for understanding. These teachers
turn theory into actual classroom practice while addressing the complexities of:
selecting new mathematics content planning for instruction establishing a
collaborative learning environment helping children learn to make choices and
take responsibility for their learning meeting the academic and social needs of
all children keeping records of children's work assessing for understanding.
Ruth Parker brings to this book an in-depth understanding of the goals of
mathematics reform efforts, a belief in children as caring and powerful sense
makers, and a long history of working to make schools more relevant and
meaningful places for children and teachers.

Paperback Teacher Ideas Press
From School Library Journal This invaluable book links national math
standards with picture books and folktales published primarily within the last
five years. Topics covered include numbers and operations, algebra, geometry,
measurement, data analysis and probability, problem solving, and reasoning and
proof. There are generally three to four lessons per unit, each focusing on a
different book. Rosemary Wells's Bunny Money inspires small group role-playing
after which youngsters describe their own shopping sprees, creating money
problems along the way. After reading Janet Stevens's Tops and Bottoms, students
learn that fractions, too, have tops (numerators) and bottoms (denominators).
Each lesson includes a time frame, list of materials, required transparencies,
and step-by-step instructions. Additional activities encourage primary-grade
children to apply their newfound knowledge and share their discoveries. There
are also recommendations for assessing student learning and extending the lesson
to other areas of the curriculum such as language arts or social studies. The
ideas are creative and incorporate manipulatives, art, research, and writing.
There are also adaptations for auditory, motor, visual, and second-language
special needs. Libraries will want to stock up on the cited titles so that
teachers can make the most of this useful resource. Barbara Auerbach, New York

projects, performances, and problem-solving challenges. The direct instruction
and discovery strategies are supported by assessment recommendations, extension
activities, and software and literary resource lists. Activity adaptations take
into consideration learning differences and disabilities.

Book Description What makes mathematics so confusing to students? To succeed
in the study of arithmetic, geometry, or algebra, students must learn what is
effectively a second language of mathematical terms and symbols. In Literacy
Strategies for Improving Mathematics Instruction, Joan M. Kenney and her
coauthors describe common ways in which students misinterpret the language of
mathematics, and show teachers what they can do to ensure that their students
become fluent in that language. The authors synthesize the research on what it
takes to decode mathematical text, explain how teachers can use guided discourse
and graphic representation to help students develop mathematical literacy
skills, offer guidance on using action research to enhance mathematics
instruction, and discuss the importance of student-centered learning and
concept-building skills in the classroom. Real-life vignettes of student
struggles illuminate the profound effect of literacy problems on student
achievement in mathematics. This book will help teachers better understand their
studentsâ?? difficulties with mathematics and take the steps necessary to
alleviate them. Abundantly researched and filled with helpful strategies and
resources, it is an invaluable resource for mathematics teachers at all levels.

States Author: Ma, Liping ISBN: 0-8058-2909-1 LCCN: 99017342 Dewey: 372.7/0973 21 Number: |
Paperback Lawrence Erlbaum
Review Ma's book is a significant contribution to mathematics education
because it begins to tackle the important and complex question of what is
mathematical knowledge for elementary teaching. In doing so, she helps us to
understand elementary mathematics as a complex and demanding subject that is to
be taken seriously. -Contemporary Psychology Elementary school teachers need as
deep an understanding of the mathematics they teach as high school teachers need
of what they teach. Both need a deep knowledge of the mathematics which comes in
later grades, at least three or four, for this knowledge should influence how
topics are taught. -Mathematicians and Educational Reform Must reading for those
who call for more mathematics and those who champion reform pedagogy in teacher
education. -CHOICE ...Ma has done a masterful job of showing how the conceptual
approach of Chinese elementary school teachers succeeds where the procedural
approach of their American counterparts flounders....I highly recommend this
brief volume to elementary school teachers who wish to improve their teaching of
mathematics. I also recommend it to all university teacher educators who want
their students to develop that 'profound understanding of fundamental
mathematics' that allows Chinese students to outscore their American
counterparts in international assessments. -Mathematics Teaching in the Middle
Schools The contributions of this book are multifaceted....This book is an
excellent resource and will interest anyone involved in teaching preservice
teachers, as well as researchers concerned with teachers' knowledge of content
and methods. -Teaching Children Mathematics Even beyond education, the book
supports the need for, and indeed the educational benefits of, changing
professional teaching conditions for U.S. teachers....it provides some food for
thought for everyone involved in improving mathematics education. And it
supports the necessity, highlighted in NCTM's Standards documents, that even at
the elementary school level, students can, and should, learn challenging
mathematics. -NCTM News Bulletin For all who are concerned with mathematics
education...Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics is an important book.
For those who are skeptical that mathematics education research can say much of
value, it can serve as a counterexample. For those interested in improving
precollege mathematics education in the U.S., it provides important clues to the
nature of the problem. An added bonus is that, despite the somewhat forbidding
educationese of its title, the book is quite readable....I recommend this book!
-Notices of the AMS Ma's work has been well received on both sides of the
so-called math wars....Supporters of the National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics (NCTM) reform agenda are pleased by her stress on real understanding
as opposed to mere computational competence. -American Scientist. ...a book that
is becoming a stealth hit for math junkies on both sides of the 'math wars,' and
a must read for anyone interested in solving the problems of public schools.
-The Christian Science Monitor Electronic Edition The book is earning praise
both from some of those who support changes proposed in the NCTM Standards and
from some of those who oppose them, and it is sparking discussion. It is also
helping to unify some disparate forces in mathematics education on at least a
few ideas for continuing positive changes....[the book] provides some food for
thought for everyone involved in improving mathematics education. -NCTM News
Bulletin Mathematical performance of children in countries in the west like the
USA and the UK is a constant source of concern when comparisons are made with
achievements in countries in the Far East and Eastern Europe. Liping Ma's book
provides valuable insights into possible explanations for this disparity--and
these have obvious implications for the training of mathematics teachers in any
country. -British Journal of Educational Technology Both sides in the math wars

Today's Catholic Teacher, January, 1999 Engaging mathematics activities
interweave literature, writing, art, and fun to bring key math concepts and
skills to life. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of
this title. Book Description In an artful interweaving of mathematics and
literature, this series of lively mathematics activities jumps off from one of
the well-known "Frog and Toad" stories, "The Lost Button." The story leads to
free exploration of buttons, then sorting and classifying and a "Guess the Sort"
game. Students design their own buttons and use a graphing grid to organize
data. Students also "guesstimate" the number of small plastic frogs in a jar and
the number of lima beans in a handful to develop the valuable life skill of
estimating. A "Frog Pond" board game helps students develop strategic-thinking
skills. The "Hop to the Pond Game" is an experiment in probability and
statistics. In the newly revised guide, all grade levels play the fair version
of "Hop to the Pond" with six frogs. Then grades 13 play the unfair version with
12 frogs. Emphasis throughout is on student cooperation. The California Math
Council has named Frog Math as a recommended replacement unit. --This text

Review ...the text is an excellent resource for current and future teachers,
as well as parents interested in an NCTM standards-based teaching approach.
-Science, Books, and Films The strength of the book is its thoroughness in
addressing the curriculum, instruction, and assessment challenges of
high-quality K-8 mathematics programs. I would recommend the book as a
worthwhile addition to a resource library or as a textbook in a two-semester
methods sequence in mathematics. -Teaching Children Mathematics Both the
mathematical and pedagogical content in the book are of high quality, attempting
to develop background knowledge about a topic as well as a deeper experiential
and applied understanding of the topic. -Horizon Research Product Description
Description This text is the product of a seven year effort to develop an
elementary mathematics methods text that fully implements the NCTM standards for
mathematics teaching and learning. These standards do not recommend a band-aid
approach to reform, that is, supplementing existing practices with some new
techniques to better accomplish the same old goals. Instead the standards
propose radical surgery, profound changes in what and how mathematics is taught
and assessed. That is the purpose of this text, to show how to make mathematics
instruction consistent with all three of the central NCTM tenets: 1. Making
mathematics relevant to the everyday lives of students. 2. Making mathematics a
problem-based or reasoning-based activity. 3. Making mathematics a meaningful
(understandable) learning activity. Features Investigative Approach--The author
imbeds these three tenets in what he labels the investigative approach to
mathematics instruction. It involves a unique format in which students interact
with the text material through a series of reader inquiries that explore key
ideas about mathematics, children's mathematical learning, and mathematical
teaching. These inquiries constitute the core of the book. Personalized Teaching
Guide--To encourage personalized learning, the pages of this book have been
perforated and 3-hole punched so that its contents can be reorganized and/or
mixed with materials from other sources to form a Personalized Teaching Guide.
In short, this book should be viewed as a starting point in the long road to
professional development in mathematics instruction.

Mathematics Product Description I hope this book receives a wide
readership, as it can be an effective tool in encouraging the practice of
alternative assessment in grades K-6 and reflection on the entire process of
assessment. - Teaching Children Mathematics Jean Moon and Linda Schulman offer
practitioners a new approach to assessment-one that is comprehensive, practical,
and interactive. Recognizing the process-oriented nature of alternative
assessment, they contend that the more we "do" alternative assessment, the more
we learn about it. Their book encourages and enhances that "doing" process.
Finding the Connections emphasizes the conceptual links among assessment,
instruction, and curriculum, focusing on classroom practices in grades K-6. It
provides a model for integrating assessment with instruction; ideas for
communicating with parents, students, and administrators; and guided
opportunities to practice and reflect upon the assessment process. By sharing
their experiences, the authors also help readers develop their own assessment
methods. Classroom teachers, mathematics educators, mathematics specialists,
curriculum developers, administrators, and other practitioners interested in the
general field of assessment will find this book essential reading.

Excerpts from Scientific American, December, 1989. FAMILY MATH is what it
claims, a guide for parents and children to work together not on passive tasks
of rote learning but in active game play, solving problems, experimenting and
even discovering. The tools are many but familiar: cups and playing cards and
beans, paper and pencil and scissors, for some a watch with a second hand, and a
$5 calculator. What to do is neatly shown in the 100 or more math activities
that are laid out in this cheerfully illustrated, informal book. High aims
include the growth of confidence no less than skill and a glimpse at how careers
open in this world with math. This is a curriculum for informal math education,
so badly needed. Book Description How can parents help their children with math
at home? With over 300 pages of lively activities, the classic FAMILY MATH book
represents one of the greatest strides taken to involve parents in the
mathematics education of their children. Using easy instructions and simple
objects such as beans, blocks, pennies, buttons, and string, parents and kids
solve problems together. FAMILY MATH is a rich resource of math curriculum
including number and estimation, logical thinking, probability and statistics,
geometry, measurement, and calculators. The stimulating games, puzzles, and
projects entice kids in playful ways to master math concepts. Because this book
reinforces the basic school curriculum, it is also a must for teachers. The book
has a step-by-step description of how to organize a FAMILY MATH class in your
community. For families with children five to twelve years old. Grades K-8. 318

for Reasoning And Problem Solving Author: Ben-Hur, Meir ISBN: 1-4166-0359-X LCCN: 2006006945 Dewey: 507.1 22 Number: |
Paperback Association for Supervision & Curriculum Deve
Book Description Have you ever wondered why students too often have only a
rudimentary understanding of mathematics, why even rich and exciting hands-on
learning does not always result in "real" learning of new concepts? The answer
lies in whether students have actually learned mathematical concepts, rather
than merely memorizing facts and formulas. Concept-Rich Mathematics Instruction
is based on the constructivist view that concepts are not simply facts to be
memorized and later recalled, but rather knowledge that learners develop through
an active process of adapting to new experiences. The teacher's role is critical
in this process. When teachers prompt students to reflect on their experiences
and report and answer questions verbally, students must re-examine and even
revise their concepts of reality. Meir Ben-Hur offers expert guidance on all
aspects of Concept-Rich Mathematics Instruction, including *Identifying the core
concepts of the mathematics curriculum. *Planning instructional sequences that
build upon concepts that students already understand. *Designing learning
experiences that provoke thoughtful discussions about new concepts and prepare
students to apply these concepts on their own. *Identifying student errors,
particularly those caused by preconceptions, as important sources of information
and as key instructional tools. *Conducting classroom dialogues that are rich in
alternative representations. *Using a variety of formative assessment methods to
reveal the state of students' learning. *Incorporating problem-solving
activities that provoke cognitive dissonance and enhance students' cognitive
competence. Concept-Rich Mathematics Instruction is grounded in the belief that
all students can learn to think mathematically and solve challenging problems.
If you're looking for a powerful way to improve students' performance in
mathematics and move closer to fulfilling the NCTM standards, look no further:
this approach provides the building blocks for constructing a first-class
mathematics program.
Comprehending Math: Adapting Reading Strategies to Teach
Mathematics, K-6 Author: Hyde, Arthur Keene, Ellin Oliver ISBN: 0-325-00949-X LCCN: 2006014780 Dewey: 372.7 22 Number: |
Paperback Heinemann
Product Description For those who devour Comprehending Math as I did, their
teaching will be clearer, bolder, more connected. And for the ultimate
beneficiaries, they will have a chance to understand just how integrally our
world is connected. Ellin Oliver Keene, author of Mosaic of Thought No matter
the content area, students need to develop clear ways of thinking about and
understanding what they learn. But this kind of conceptual thinking seems more
difficult in math than in language arts and social studies. Fortunately we now
know how to help kids understand more about mathematics than ever before, and in
Comprehending Math you'll find out that much of math's conceptual difficulty can
be alleviated by adapting what we have learned from research on language and
cognition. In Comprehending Math Arthur Hyde (coauthor of the popular Best
Practice) shows you how to adapt some of your favorite and most effective
reading comprehension strategies to help your students with important
mathematical concepts. Emphasizing problem solving, Hyde and his colleagues
demonstrate how to build into your practice math-based variations of: K - W - L
visualizing asking questions inferring predicting making connections determining
importance synthesizing He then presents a practical way to "braid" together
reading comprehension, math problemsolving, and thinking to improve math
teaching and learning. Elaborating on this braided model of approach to problem
solving, he shows how it can support planning as well as instruction.
Comprehending Math is based on current cognitive research and features more than
three dozen examples that range from traditional story problems to open-ended or
extended-response problems and mathematical tasks. It gives you step-by-step
ideas for instruction and smart, specific advice on planning strategy-based
teaching. Help students do math and get it at the same time. Read Comprehending
Math, use its adaptations of familiar language arts strategies, and discover how
deeply students can understand math concepts and how well they can use that
knowledge to solve problems. About the Author Arthur Hyde is a professor of
mathematics education at NationalLouis University. While a high school
mathematics teacher in Philadelphia, he obtained doctorate in curriculum and
instruction from the University of Pennsylvania. He has conducted extensive
professional development programs in Chicago and surrounding school districts.

Assessment Author: Guillaume, Andrea M. ISBN: 0-205-40264-X LCCN: 2004058710 Dewey: 372.7 22 Number: |
Paperback Allyn & Bacon
From the Back Cover Assess students' performance, attitudes, and abilities
across the range of elementary mathematical skills with this informal assessment
tool! Designed to spark conversations between teachers and students, Guillaume's
Classroom Mathematics Inventory for Grades K-6: An Informal Assessment, 1/e
(CMI) is an effective means of evaluating students' conceptual understanding,
computational proficiency, and problem-solving abilities. It may also be used to
assess mathematical attitudes and dispositions. For preservice and inservice
teachers alike! The CMI is fully standards-based, helping teachers measure
student performance aligned with NCTM standards, as well as standards set by a
number of states. The CMI helps preservice teachers forge the link between
assessment and instruction as they determine students' current progress and use
results to plan instruction. It also provides research results in mathematics
achievement to help classroom teachers understand how other students in the
nation fare related to the content presented in each chapter. Features: The CMI
"Toolkit" includes manipulatives, allowing teachers to assess and support
student understanding in ways that are not purely linguistic. The K-6 content
span of the CMI assessment will allow teachers to assess an individual child's
performance, whether it is below grade-level expectations or exceeds them. The
CMI discusses the quality of assessment that drives instructional planning,
providing teachers with strategies to improve the reliability of their
assessments. Interpretation of assessment is a challenge for teachers who are
faced with many assessment results. The CMI gives advice on planning instruction
based on results. About the author: Andrea Guillaume is Professor of Elementary
& Bilingual Education at California State University, Fullerton. She has
written several texts on classroom teaching and mentoring and is vitally
interested in issues related to active teaching and learning.. Praise for
Classroom Mathematics Inventory for Grades K-6: "This book is a valuable
resource for teachers to use when assessing mathematics attitudes, disposition,
reasoning processes, conceptual understanding, and computational proficiency."
-Regina M. Mistretta, St. John's University "This textbook is an enjoyable read
for a teacher and something that is do-able in a classroom-this text is a needed
math assessment text." -Dr. Belinda Anderson, Freed-Hardeman University "This is
great stuff, congrats to the author...when can I use this? I want it now!" -Dr.
