Using Games and Simulations for Teaching and Assessment comprises a multidisciplinary investigation into the issues that arise when using games for educational purposes. Both theoretical and empirical
Physicist-turned manager Ross offers simulations that teachers of mathematics and physics can use to teach mathematical foundations at the high school or early college level. He includes numbers, func
The teaching and learning of mathematics in K-12 classrooms is changing. New curricula and methods engage learners in working on real problems. An essential feature of this work involves teacher and students in 'talking mathematics'. How can students learn to do this kind of talking? What can they learn from doing it? This book addresses these questions by looking at the processes of formulating problems, interpreting contexts in which problems arise, and arguing about the reasonableness of proposed solutions. The studies in this volume seek to retain the complexity of classroom practice rather than looking at it through a particular academic lens.
Transitioning between two worlds, students in the middle grades (4-9) are no longer elementary students but are not quite ready for the challenges of secondary school. The state departments of educati
