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 through which instructors can emphasize any of the following: Basics: exploration of key pre-college topics from intuitive and rigorous points of view; Connections: exploration of relationships among topics  using tools from college-level mathematics; Extensions: exploration of college-level mathematical topics that have a compelling relationship to pre-college mathematics. Mathematics for Secondary School Teachers provides a balance of discovery learning and direct instruction. Activities and exercises address the range of learning objectives appropriate for future teachers. Beyond the obvious goals of conceptual understanding and computational fluency  readers are invited to devise mathematical explanations and arguments  create examples and visual representations  remediate typical student errors and misconceptions  and analyze student work. Introductory discussion questions encourage prospective teachers to take stock of their knowledge of pre-college topics. A rich collection of exercises of widely varying degrees of difficulty is integrated with the text. Activities and exercises are easily adapted to the settings of individual assignments  group projects  and classroom discussions. Mathematics for Secondary School Teachers is primarily intended as the text for a bridge or capstone course for pre-service secondary school mathematics teachers. It can also be used in alternative licensure programs  as a supplement to a mathematics methods course  as the text for a graduate course for in-service teachers  and as a resource and reference for in-service faculty development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666097528885,"sku":"ByrdShop_0883857731","price":116.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780883857731.jpg?v=1782419349","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mathematics-for-secondary-school-teachers-maa-textbooks-9780883857731","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
