DESCRIPTION:
Renee said Good Te. Sometimes awkward wording or unfamiliar vocabulary but the authors did well defining and clarifying things. Very informative and helpful textbook.. Four Stars Amazon Customer decent. LDuran said This book is not very helpful. This book is not very helpful. There are no pictures, only graphs. The whole book is black and white text. The book requires you to figure out your examples, so if you don't understand you have nothing to work off of. It was required for a class, but I don't think I will ever use it again.
A rich collection of exercises of widely varying degrees of difficulty is integrated with the text. Mathematics for Secondary School Teachers discusses topics of central importance in the secondary school mathematics curriculum, including functions, polynomials, trigonometry, exponential and logarithmic functions, number and operation, and measurement.Acknowledging diversity in the mathematical backgrounds of pre-service teachers and in the goals of teacher preparation programs, the authors have written a flexible text, throu
Prospective teachers need mathematics courses that develop a deep understanding of the mathematics they will teach. There is additional thoughtful and deep content in the chapters on the algebraic properties of number systems, which may well give a prospective teacher coming out of an abstract algebra course some important insight into how that material might connect to his or her future career. While courses and textbooks on mathematics for elementary teachers are common across America, few schools offer a course for which this book would be a good fit, and that's probably regrettable. The topics are drawn from high school mathematics, but there's a depth of content that outstrips the Usiskin text. I have used two likely competitors of this book, and the three all take slightly different approaches to the challenge. Mathematics Methods and Modeling for Today's Mathematics Classroom, by Dossey et al., is a COMAP project with a focus, as the title suggests, on mathematical modeli
