The first is an examination of what is meant by 21st century competencies and how they can be developed within the context of the mathematics curriculum. The second is an in-depth discussion of evidence-based practices aimed at fostering specific competencies like metacognition and reflective thinking, critical thinking and communication skills. The last and third theme is about teaching approaches that are likely to feature increasingly in the 21st century classroom, for example flipped learning or the use of comics and storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21st Century Competencies in Mathematics Classrooms \u003ci\u003e(Pee Choon TOH\u0026amp;Berinderjeet KAUR)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathematics Education, Virtues and 21st Century Competencies \u003ci\u003e(Stephen THORNTON)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnriching Secondary Mathematics Education with 21st Century Competencies \u003ci\u003e(WONG Khoon Yoong)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathematics in 21st Century Life \u003ci\u003e(Barry KISSANE)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathematics Subject Mastery — A Must for Developing 21st Century Skills \u003ci\u003e(Berinderjeet KAUR, WONG Lai Fong\u0026amp;Divya BHARDWAJ)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeaching in the 21st Century Mathematics Classroom: Metacognitive Questioning \u003ci\u003e(Cynthia SETO)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListening and Responding to Children's Reflective Thinking: Two Case Studies on the Use of the National Assessment in Japan \u003ci\u003e(Keiko HINO)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing Open-Ended Tasks to Foster 21st Century Learners at the Primary Level \u003ci\u003e(YEO Kai Kow Joseph)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProductive Talk in the Primary Mathematics Classroom \u003ci\u003e(KOAY Phong Lee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJustification in Singapore Secondary Mathematics \u003ci\u003e(CHUA Boon Liang)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamples in the Teaching of Mathematics: Teachers' Perceptions \u003ci\u003e(Lay Keow NG\u0026amp;Jaguthsing DINDYAL)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the Efficacy of Flipped Classroom: Motivation and Cognitive Load \u003ci\u003e(Weng Kin HO\u0026amp;Puay San CHAN)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse of Comics and Storytelling in Teaching Mathematics \u003ci\u003e(TOH Tin Lam, CHENG Lu Pien, JIANG Heng\u0026amp;LIM Kam Ming)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame Theory: An Alternative Mathematical Experience \u003ci\u003e(Ein-Ya GURA)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Graduate students, researchers, practitioners and teachers in mathematics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirstly it has a focused theme: Developing 21st Century Competencies in the Mathematics Classroom, which is of prime concern to mathematics educators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecondly it is written by university scholars who work closely with classroom mathematics teachers thereby drawing on their research knowledge and classroom experiences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLastly, the book is a rich resource of tried and tested practical know-how approaches that promote mathematics learning, for mathematics educators in Singapore schools and elsewhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139925688560,"sku":"9789813143630","price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789813143630_p0.jpg?v=1763691034","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789813143630","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
