Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics

Chinese students typically outperform U.S. students on international comparisons of mathematics competency. Paradoxically, Chinese teachers receive far less education than U.S. teachers--11 to 12 years of schooling versus 16 to 18 years of ...

The Psychology of Learning Mathematics

This classic text presents problems of learning and teaching mathematics from both a psychological and mathematical perspective. The Psychology of Learning Mathematics, already translated into six languages (including Chinese and Japanese),...

Problem-Based Tasks in Mathematics Learning: Opportunities and Challenges for Teachers

Mathematics education and teaching should not only include routine tasks; but tasks that need practice and memorization are mathematically more prosperous and more difficult because they promote problem-solving, investigation, and the disco...

The Sociology of Mathematics Education: Mathematical Myths / Pedagogic Texts

Until the 1960s, maths was studied as an academic subject in a desire to have more mathematicians. The current trend, however, has moved away from viewing maths as a purely intellectual endeavour and towards developing a more mathematically...

Creativity: The Essence of Mathematics

For the gifted mathematics student, early mastery of concepts and skills in the mathematics curriculum usually results in getting more of the same work and/or moving through the curriculum at a faster pace. Testing, grades, and pacing overs...

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Organized groups of teachers of mathematics or of individuals preparing to become teachers of mathematics may petition the NCTM Board of Directors to become affiliated with the Council. Affiliated Groups are entitled to send a delegate to t...

Advanced Mathematical Thinking

This chapter presents the principal currents and results in recent cognitive research on advanced mathematical thinking processes. The ambiguity in the phrase advanced mathematical thinking processes is intentional: The word advanced can an...

Mathematics, Statistics, and Teaching

How does statistical thinking differ from mathematical thinking? What is the role of mathematics in statistics? If you purge statistics of its mathematical content, what intellectual substance remains?In what follows, we offer some answers ...

With an Eye on the Mathematical Horizon: Dilemmas of Teaching Elementary School Mathematics

Ideas like "understanding," "authenticity," and "community" are central in current debates about curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Many believe that teaching and learning would be improved if classrooms were organized to engage stude...

Mathematics-for-Teaching: an Ongoing Investigation of the Mathematics that Teachers (Need to) Know

Linking Preservice Teachers' Mathematics Self‐Efficacy and Mathematics Teaching Efficacy to Their Mathematical Performance

This study examined preservice teachers' mathematics self‐efficacy and mathematics teaching efficacy and compared them to their mathematical performance. Participants included 89 early childhood preservice teachers at a Midwestern universit...

The Role of Mathematical Definitions in Mathematics and in Undergraduate Mathematics Courses

Introduction One of the earliest subjects of undergraduate mathematics education research was students' difficulties in writing formal mathematical proofs. Some research focused on the heuristics involved in proof-writing, but early attempt...

The Effects of the Weak Allee Effect and Disease on the Dynamics of a Predator–Prey System: Stability and Bifurcation Properties

In this paper, an eco-epidemiological model with a weak Allee effect and prey disease dynamics is discussed. Mathematical features such as non-negativity, boundedness of solutions, and local stability of the feasible equilibria are discusse...
