{"product_id":"9781783268665","title":"Math Makes Sense!: A Constructivist Approach to the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe methods for teaching mathematics usually follow the structure of mathematics. The problem with this is that the structure of mathematics took centuries of elaboration to develop and is not the same as how one originally experiences mathematics. Based on research of how mathematics is actually learned, this book presents an innovative approach for teaching mathematics that will engage pupils and can have lifelong benefits for how they take on board more advanced mathematical topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMath Makes Sense!\u003c\/i\u003e makes use of the realistic mathematics education (RME) philosophy, which bridges the gap between informal mathematics learning (such as in day-to-day life) and more formal teaching in school. Many real-life situations as examples for learning are included, as well as different mathematical and logic puzzles that will stimulate learning and foster understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ideas presented are not confined to one national curriculum and so can be helpful worldwide to teachers\/ instructors (both in practice and those still in training), private tutors, homeschooling parents, and educational researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFostering the Learning of Mathematics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction of Concepts and Mathematical Interpretations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumbering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddition and Subtraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiplication and Division\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFractions, Decimals, and Percentages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExploring Space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProbability and Statistics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatterns, Relations, and Functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Joy of Puzzles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnology: A Tool for Analysis and Interpretation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssessment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcluding Remarks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Teachers, trainee teachers, researchers interested in mathematics education, homeschool parents, and parents with children in primary\/ elementary school. \u003cbr\u003eMathematics Learning;Teaching With Understanding;Realistic Mathematics;Elementary School Math\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis book is grounded on solid mathematics learning research, as well as on the authors' own observations in the classroom, and so combines theoretical knowledge with practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten in an accessible manner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGives educators ideas which they can easily implement in the classroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Imperial College Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180846268656,"sku":"9781783268665","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783268665_p0.jpg?v=1763724608","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783268665","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
