Ways to Think About Mathematics
Activities and Investigations for Grade 6-12 Teachers
Steve Benson, Susan Addington, Nina Arshavsky, Al Cuoco, E. Paul Goldenberg, Eric Karnowski
This book has been written from the premise that engaging in mathematical investigations is an important part of becoming a better mathematics teacher. The authors believe that “the most effective professional development in mathematics for teachers is immersion in the mathematics itself, and the most engaging and ultimately useful mathematics is the very mathematics that teachers use or teach every day”.
The result is a book which is designed to facilitate meaningful engagement and deep exploration of mathematics by teachers, using problems which are taken directly from the secondary school classroom (many of which are therefore useful or modifiable for student use).
