Solidly grounded in up-to-date research, theory, and technology, Teaching Secondary Mathematics is a practical, student-friendly, and popular text for secondary mathematics methods courses. It provides clear and useful approaches for mathematics teachers and shows how concepts typically found in a secondary mathematics curriculum can be taught in a positive and encouraging way. The thoroughly revised fifth edition combines this pragmatic approach with truly innovative and integrated technology content throughout. Synthesized content between the book and a comprehensive Instructor and Student Resource website offers expanded discussion of chapter topics, additional examples, and technological tips, such as using and assessing artificial intelligence.
Each chapter features tried-and-tested pedagogical techniques, problem-solving challenges, discussion points, activities, mathematical challenges, and student-life-based applications that will encourage students to think and do.
New to the fifth edition:
- A fully revised chapter on technological advancements in the teaching of mathematics, including the use of artificial intelligence
- A new chapter on equity, shame, and anxiety in the mathematics classroom
- Connections to both the updated National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Focal Points and Standards
- Problem-solving challenges and sticky questions featured in each chapter to encourage students to think through everyday issues and possible solutions
- A fresh interior design to better highlight pedagogical elements and key features
- A completely updated Instructor and Student Resource site with chapter-by-chapter video lessons, teacher tools, problem solving Q&As, exercises, and helpful links and resources.
