Teaching Secondary School Mathematics
Research and Practice for the 21st Century
Merrilyne Goos, Gloria Stillman & Colleen Vale
Excellent mathematics teachers make a major difference to the learning outcomes of the students they teach – but what are the professional skills and knowledge that really matter?
This up-to-date and research-based book by three highly regarded Australian educators includes sections focussing on: mathematics pedagogy, curriculum and assessment, including the role of technology; a review of mathematical content addressed at secondary level; equity and diversity in mathematics education; and the professional engagement of mathematics teachers beyond the classroom.
Teachers will particularly appreciate the provision of valuable teaching ideas throughout, and the authors’ emphasis on the importance of working with mathematical reasoning and problem solving, real world applications, and mathematical communication skills.
Recognised as a winner in the Australian Publishers Association's 2008 Australian Awards for Excellence in Educational Publishing, with comments from the judges that
"The fundamental pedagogy is brilliant, and research and content is current. The research base is excellent for upskilling teachers.”
