Drawing from her extensive experience of using cases in teacher education and in-service courses, Katherine Merseth offers this practical, hands-on guide to improving the teaching of mathematics. This book, the first to focus on the secondary school classroom (grades 7–12), provides a collection of cases that blend important mathematics content with the real complexities of school and classroom life.
Windows on Teaching Math:
- Responds to the ongoing efforts of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) to enact standards-based practice.
- Provides pre-case discussion exercises that help keep the discussion focused on the mathematics in the case.
- Focuses on topics that are often difficult to teach and challenging for students to learn, such as proportional reasoning, probability, and independence.
- Presents actual student responses that exhibit the misunderstandings and ambiguities of thinking, offering a window into the mathematical reasoning of students.
- Confronts often unaddressed influences on teaching, such as relationships with colleagues, disgruntled parents, tracking, diverse student populations, instances of cheating, and much more.
- Helps facilitators to lead effective discussions with a uniquely designed set of teaching notes that correspond to each case―Windows on Teaching Math: Cases of Middle and Secondary Classrooms: Facilitator’s Guide (sold separately).
