Foundations for Teaching Arithmetic
Kyla Marsten, Kaye Stacey (eds)
This CD-ROM covers some core areas in primary and middle school mathematics in an intelligent, no-nonsense manner. It explains the important mathematical principles underlying the subject, demonstrates how these can be explained to students and shows both expert performance and intermediate stages. Topics covered are: Whole Numbers; Fractions; Decimals; Measurement; Percent, Ratio and Rates; Negative Numbers. The discussion of each topic includes detailed sections on: meanings and models; key ideas; and teaching connections. There are easy to follow text and diagrams, and worked examples that run as ‘movies’. Although the CD-ROM was originally prepared at the University of Melbourne as a resource for students preparing to be primary teachers, it has a wide variety of uses for practising teachers: as background or refresher information, when planning and programming, or for professional learning activities.
