Concept-Based Mathematics Av Jennifer Wathall

<p><strong><em>Give math students the connections between what they learn and how they do math—and suddenly math makes sense</em></strong><br/><br/> If your secondary-school students are fearful of or frustrated by math, it’s time for a new approach. When you teach concepts rather than rote processes, you show students math’s essential elegance, as well as its practicality—and help them discover their own natural mathematical abilities.<br/><br/> This book is a road map to retooling how you teach math in a deep, clear, and meaningful way —through a conceptual lens—helping students achieve higher-order thinking skills. Jennifer Wathall shows you how to plan units, engage students, assess understanding, incorporate technology, and even guides you through an ideal concept-based classroom. </p><ul><li>Practical tools include: </li><li>Examples from arithmetic to calculus </li><li>Inquiry tasks, unit planners, templates, and activities </li>
