Riassunto

Katherine Merseth offers this practical, hands-on guide to improving the teaching of mathematics. This book, the first to focus on the secondary school classroom (grades 7-12), provides a collection of cases that blend important mathematics content with the real complexities of school and classroom life.
Windows on Teaching Math: responds to the ongoing efforts of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) to enact standards-based practice; provides pre-case discussion exercises that help keep the discussion focused on the mathematics in the case; focuses on topics that are often difficult to teach and challenging for students to learn, such as proportional reasoning, probability, and independence; presents actual student responses that exhibit the misunderstandings and ambiguities of thinking, offering a window into the mathematical reasoning of students; and confronts often unaddressed influences on teaching, such as relationships with colleagues, disgruntled parents, tracking, diverse student populations, instances of cheating, and much more.
