Teaching Mathematics Creatively: Edition 3
Meer oor hierdie e-boek
In the creative classroom, mathematics becomes a tool to build confidence, develop problem solving skills and motivate children. The fresh approaches explored in this book include a range of activities such as storytelling, music and construction, elevating maths learning beyond subject knowledge itself to enable students to see mathematics in a new way.
Key chapters of this book explore:
• Learning maths outdoors - make more noise, make more mess or work on a larger scale
• Everyday maths - making sense of the numbers, patterns, shapes and measures children see around them
• Music and maths – the role of rhythm in learning, and music and pattern in maths
Stimulating, accessible and underpinned by the latest research and theory, this is essential reading for trainee and practising teachers who wish to embed creative approaches to maths teaching in their classroom.
