MATHEMATICS, PEDAGOGY, AND SECONDARY TEACHER EDUCATION: REWEAVING THE FRAYED BRAID
(Each of the volumes in this collection sheds new light on...)
Each of the volumes in this collection sheds new light on what it means to integrate content and pedagogy in a teacher education context. The collection includes: "Thinking About Being a Mathematics Teacher", challenging teachers to reflect on their goals and experiences related to mathematics education; "Developing a Topic Across the Curriculum: Functions", examining the ways in which mathematical content and teaching pedagogy are intertwined and inseparable; "Designing Teaching: The Pythagorean Theorem", exploring what might be called a teacher's "design kit" in relation to the Pythagorean Theorem and how the kit can be expanded to other mathematical topics; "Analyzing Subject Matter: Fundamental Ideas of Combinatorics", suggesting that combinatorial problems offer students a realistic opportunity to develop mathematics; "Modeling with Functions", focusing on how models based on functional relationships can provide powerful mathematical experiences for students; and "Posing Mathematically", helping teachers see the importance of problem design to student exploration.

Mathematics, Pedagogy, and Secondary Teacher Education
( Mathematics, Pedagogy, and Secondary Teacher Education ...)
Mathematics, Pedagogy, and Secondary Teacher Education sheds new light on what it means to integrate pedagogy in a teacher-education context. Whether new to the field or seasoned professionals, all secondary teachers are encouraged to view instructional issues in relation to their own experiences in learning mathematics. Ideal for preservice and inservice programs, the books in this collection provide a foundation for developing a deep understanding of topics fundamental to learning school mathematics; help teachers develop expertise in the processes emphasized in the NCTM Standards: and offer activities that capture the rich interplay of inductive and deductive thinking in mathematics. The collection includes: • Thinking About Being a Mathematics Teacher • Developing a Topic Across the Curriculum: Functions • Designing Teaching: The Pythagorean Theorem • Analyzing Subject Matter: Fundamental Ideas of Combinatorics • Modeling with Functions • Posing Mathematically

Reconstructing School Mathematics: Problems with Problems and the Real World
(This book offers a critique of two major themes of the mo...)
This book offers a critique of two major themes of the modern reform movement in mathematics education: problem solving and the applications of mathematics to the «real world». In examining the educational fallacy inherent in the impulse to move unflinchingly from «problem» to «problem solving», Stephen I. Brown demonstrates the potential of mathematical reflection to reveal aspects of self and society that have been suppressed in curriculum. He then argues that in seeking connections between mathematics and the «real world», we have tended to reduce their relationship to one of modeling. Furthermore, in constructing what is «real» in an overly concrete way, we have lost sight of the wonder of what is «real» in both mathematics and the world. Brown explores alternative text formats, including that of the novel and the Talmud, as vehicles to rejuvenate the educational potential of problems and of real world connections.
