Accessible but rigorous, this outstanding text encompasses all of the topics covered by a typical course in elementary abstract algebra. Its easy-to-read treatment offers an intuitive approach, featuring informal discussions followed by thematically arranged exercises. This second edition features additional exercises to improve student familiarity with applications. 1990 edition.

What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.

Results from national and international assessments indicate that school children in the United States are not learning mathematics well enough. Many students cannot correctly apply computational algorithms to solve problems. Their understanding and use of decimals and fractions are especially weak. Indeed, helping all children succeed in mathematics is an imperative national goal. However, for our youth to succeed, we need to change how we're teaching this discipline. Helping Children Learn Mathematics provides comprehensive and reliable information that will guide efforts to improve school mathematics from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The authors explain the five strands of mathematical proficiency and discuss the major changes that need to be made in mathematics instruction, instructional materials, assessments, teacher education, and the broader educational system and answers some of the frequently asked questions when it comes to mathematics instruction. The book concludes by providing recommended actions for parents and caregivers, teachers, administrators, and policy makers, stressing the importance that everyone work together to ensure a mathematically literate society.

*IF YOU BUY THE PAPER VERSION YOU GET THE KINDLE VERSION FOR FREE* ⭐⭐⭐ Algebra 1 Workbook ⭐⭐⭐ This book contains: Basic operations, number and integers, properties, rules and tips Monomials, Binomials and Polynomials operations How to find Least Common Multiple and Greatest Common Factor, Factorization and Prime Numbers Different types of expressions, and related ways of solutions Different types of equations, Inequalities and Functions with the related ways of solutions Many exercises the reader can do for each different argument with related explanations and solutions Algebra is a very noteworthy subfield of mathematics in its versatility alone if nothing else. You will be hard-pressed to find one single area of mathematics that is taught after algebra in which algebra is not practiced in almost every situation. The most general and the most commonly used definition of algebra is the study of mathematical symbols as well as the study of the manipulation of these symbols. Mathematical symbols are one of the most basic elements of mathematics, aside from numbers themselves and operation symbols, so the study of these symbols is one of the most important studies that one can take up as far as mathematics is concerned. To that end, in this book, you will find some of the most important topics regarding algebra. These include but are not limited to the following: understanding integers and basic operations, inequalities and one-step operations; fractions and factors; the main rules of arithmetic; linear equations in the coordinate plane, expressions, equations and functions; real numbers; solving linear equations; visualizing linear functions, linear equations, linear inequalities, systems of linear equations and inequalities; exponents and exponential function; polynomials, quadratic equations, radical expression, radical equations, rational expressions; and finally, intermediate topics in algebra.
