Beyond Formulas in Mathematics and Teaching

Résumé du livre

Based on the author's experience as a researcher and teacher of lower-track students, Beyond Formulas in Mathematics and Teaching illuminates the complex dynamics of the algebra classroom. From within this setting, Daniel Chazan thoughtfully explores topics that concern all dedicated educators -- how to really know one's students, how to find engaging material, and how to inspire meaningful classroom conversations. With an eye to ways of restructuring roles and relationships, this volume is essential reading for educators seeking to enhance their teaching practices and understanding of students who may be estranged from school.
