Developing Mathematical Reasoning Avoiding the Trap of Algorithms By Pamela Weber Harris Book Study
This book is a valuable resource for educators looking to reach more students by building a strong foundation of mathematical thinking in their students. By addressing common misconceptions about math and providing practical strategies for teaching real math, this book shows that everyone can use the mathematical relationships they already know to reason about new relationships.
In other words, everyone can math. Everyone is capable of understanding and doing real math.
Developing Mathematical Reasoning Avoiding the Trap of Algorithms:
Highlights the important mathematical relationships, strategies, and models for students to develop
Offers personal stories, reflection sections, and extensive practical exercises for easy implementation
Includes real math-a lot of it-to provide teachers with examples they can put to use in their classrooms immediately
NOTE: Participants need to obtain a copy of the book prior to the first session.
