Informationen zum Autor Randall E. Groth is an Associate Professor at Salisbury University. He brings to the book the experience of a former secondary school mathematics teacher, a current supervisor of student teachers, and a university perspective as secondary-level mathematics educator. As a former secondary teacher, Groth taught all levels of mathematics from remedial pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry to advanced placement calculus. As a supervisor of student teachers, he has seen firsthand the difficulties prospective teachers have as they enter the profession. As a university faculty member, he has taught mathematics education courses for prospective teachers for the past ten years. Groth has also published over 30 articles in peer-reviewed venues for mathematics education and received a distinguished faculty award as recognition of his strengths in teaching, scholarship, and service. Klappentext Teaching Mathematics in Grades 6 - 12 by Randall E. Groth explores how research in mathematics education can inform teaching practice in grades 6-12. The author shows preservice mathematics teachers the value of being a "researcher-constantly experimenting with methods for developing students' mathematical thinking-and connecting this research to practices that enhance students' understanding of the material. Ultimately, pre-service teachers will gain a deeper understanding of the types of mathematical knowledge students bring to school, and how students' thinking may develop in response to different teaching strategies.
