Beskrivning

This practical resource guides elementary teachers through ways to ground their mathematics instruction in key human virtues, which enables both educators and students to better connect to the subject matter. As students and their teachers approach math with varying experiences, these common virtues help level the learning field. The chapters are organized around different human virtues – such as beauty, truth, creativity, justice, and love – each providing practical pedagogical examples, teaching strategies to make math come alive, and evidence-based research. Chapters also examine how you can evaluate and modify your existing curriculum and provide reflective prompts to drive conversations with teachers and administrators. Ideal for in-service elementary teachers and as a supplement for pre-service elementary methods instruction, this book empowers you to help your students find deeper meaning in math.

Recensioner i media

“You will find Dr. Thomas has many practical suggestions, as well as useful pedagogical reflections that will sharpen your own thinking. I also deeply appreciate the ways that he contextualizes his teaching practice to his local community. His examples will likely spur your own creativity. But most importantly, in his many personal stories and reflections, his humanity shines through. In that, he models what math teaching can and should be.”From the Foreword by Francis Su, Professor of Mathematics at Harvey Mudd College, USA
