Description
|
This book distills an array of best-practice strategies and lesson-planning tools for teaching mathematics along with hands-on student activities all in one easy-to-use resource. Geared to helping students develop conceptual understanding as well as practical skills in math, the book devotes major attention to the use of standards, performance criteria, and assessment for guiding both instruction and lesson planning. It includes an extensive section on creating math problems for incorporation into lessons and assessments. Focusing on four areas: 1) patterns, 2) measurement, 3) computation using money, and 4) fractions, the book shows teachers how to design effective, standards-based lessons, from setting the learning goals and creating the math problems, to crafting hands-on activities. The book also includes detailed advice on the use of questions for guiding students through thinking and reasoning processes. Hands-on lessons, broken down by topic and grade level, comprise over half the book. Two types of lessons are featured: short teacher-centered lessons and longer student-centered lessons, in which students perform in-depth concept building tasks.
