Using national and state standards to guide your math program is just a start. You still have to decide how to apply the standards in your curriculum, determine when students should learn different content, and decide which programs and textbooks will help you make math come alive in the classroom. That's where this new ASCD resource comes in. Priorities in Practice: The Essentials of Mathematics Grades 7-12 explores how educators--from classroom teachers to central office administrators--are tackling these major challenges in math education: * Emphasizing algebraic thinking, problem solving, and communication * Relying on research to guide the implementation of new teaching practices * Connecting math activities to larger purposes and everyday experiences * Differentiating instruction based on students' learning styles, interests, and readiness levels * Helping teachers use classroom assessment to guide instruction * Improving math teaching practices through teacher professional development and analysis of student work. Whether you're working with an established math curriculum or rethinking your whole approach, here's an opportunity to see where your program stands in the context of current trends. This is the second volume in a new series from ASCD that explores tested methods of teaching and administrating curriculum in the major content areas.

A Graded Course for ks 3 & 4 leading to GCSE - KS 4 B BOOKS - designed for pupils working towards Level 6 at KS3, and intermediate tiers at GCSE. ST(P) Mathematics offers very useful support to teachers and pupils through the PoS for Key Stages 3 and 4. Sufficient text is given for pupils to use as a reminder of the main results and methods. Whenever possible, the recommended technique is to give the pupils a starting point from which they can find out mathematical properties for themselves. Each book offers an ample supply of exercises to consolidate work covered by investigation, project, class discussion, class teaching etc. A separate Teacher's Notes and Answers book is published.

The Cambridge Lower Secondary Complete Mathematics 7 Student Book ensures students fully cover and excel in the curriculum, as well as embedding the learning they need to progress smoothly towards IGCSE® Mathematics. This resource provides a rigorous approach for teaching and studying Cambridge Lower Secondary Maths to ensure students learn everything that is required at that level. However, stretching materials and exercises also prepare students for a smooth transition to IGCSE Mathematics by supporting the development of required skills. It is written by the expert author of our previous, best-selling edition and maintains the strengths of the original book, but with updates and improvements to better meet students' and teachers' needs. The Student Book is supported by a Homework Book that provides opportunities for independent practice inside and outside the classroom, and a Teacher Handbook, which offers full teaching support.

This guide features 180 pages of hands-on, standards-driven study material on how to understand and retain seventh grade math. Full explanations with step-by-step instructions are provided. Worksheets for each standard are provided along with two, full-length, 100-problem, comprehensive final exams. (Education)

Reform-based mathematics has become a popular topic in the education field as this teaching emphasizes classroom discourse and instructional goals related to student engagement and an understanding of mathematical reasoning, concepts, and procedures using instructional practices that build on students’ informal knowledge of mathematics. It also connects mathematics with other disciplines and the real world and provides opportunities for students to contribute and invent their own methods during problem-solving. Further study on the best practices, benefits, and challenges of implementing this teaching into education is required. Global Perspectives and Practices for Reform-Based Mathematics Teaching explores international perspectives on diverse reform-based practices in teaching and learning mathematics, describes challenges and issues for teachers and teacher educators, promotes reflection and academic discussion at various levels and in various educational systems, and raises questions for the field of mathematics education. Covering a range of topics such as teacher preparation programs and integrated learning spaces, this reference work is ideal for academicians, practitioners, researchers, instructors, educators, and students.
