Richard Millman – författare

For courses in Mathematics for Teachers or Mathematics for Future Elementary Teachers.

Fosters reasoning skills, deep conceptual understanding, and a positive attitude to aspiring elementary or middle school teachers

Mathematical Reasoning for Elementary Teachers presents the mathematical content needed for teaching within the context of the elementary classroom. The authors endeavor to answer the frequently asked question “Why are we learning this?” by going beyond skill explanations to show how these concepts are implemented in the future classroom, and what types of questions children may ask. The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics are included.

Tasks in Primary Mathematics Teacher Education is intended to advance relevant research and innovative international practices in the preparation and professional development of mathematics teachers. Emerging from discussion at the ICMI study on teacher professional development, this volume, focused on primary and elementary teachers, culls a richness that can only be found by gathering wisdom from varied experiences around the world.

The choice of tasks, and the associated pedagogies, is a key aspect of teaching and learning mathematics. Arguing that what students learn is largely defined by the tasks they are given, several major themes are presented. One such major strand, the form, function and focus of tasks, is discussed throughout several chapters, offering analysis, discussion of implementation, and exemplars of a broader category of illustrative techniques for developing critical understanding.

Mathematical Reasoning for Elementary Teachers presents the mathematical content needed for teaching within the context of the elementary classroom, giving future teachers the motivation they need while also showing them the bigger picture of when they will use and teach the concepts. The program also endeavours to answer the frequently-asked “Why are we learning this?” by going beyond skill explanations and showing the ways that these concepts are implemented in the future classroom and what types of questions children may ask. Now updated to include the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, the text imparts mathematical reasoning skills, a deep conceptual understanding, and a positive attitude to those who aspire to be elementary or middle school teachers.
