Mathematics teachers at work : connecting curriculum materials and classroom instruction
Call Number: ebook
Mathematics Teachers at Work is the first collection to compile and synthesize research on teachers' use of mathematics curriculum materials and the impact of curriculum materials on teaching. In response to this rapidly growing field of research, the book places a particular emphasis on - but is not restricted to - those curriculum materials developed in response to NCTM's Standards.
Each chapter offers a valuable understanding of teachers' behaviors, practices, and learning in relation to mathematics curriculum materials. Commentaries from both a researcher and a practitioner follow each of the book's four parts, highlighting insights, questions, and challenges that speak to the significance of the chapters for research and practice. Taken together, the chapters in this important new volume not only report empirical research findings, but also offer frameworks and perspectives on the teacher-curriculum relationship that can guide future research.
