Teaching mathematics content courses to this group of\u003cbr\u003e students presents unique challenges. While some PSTs enter their teacher preparation with weak mathematical skills\u003cbr\u003e and knowledge, many also hold negative attitudes, anxiety, and misguided beliefs about mathematics. This book is\u003cbr\u003e designed to support instructors who teach these students in mathematics content for elementary teachers courses.\u003cbr\u003e Elementary teachers need a richly developed understanding of the mathematics they are teaching in order to teach it\u003cbr\u003e effectively. Providing them with the needed preparation is difficult, but can be eased with a solid understanding of the\u003cbr\u003e mathematical concerns and limitations PSTs bring to the learning of mathematics and a familiarity with the standards\u003cbr\u003e and curricula topics PSTs will be expected to teach. Chapter One makes the argument that elementary mathematics is\u003cbr\u003e not trivial. This is followed by an analysis of four central issues related to the mathematical preparation of elementary\u003cbr\u003e teachers, specifically: (1) selecting\/creating\/modifying and implementing\u003cbr\u003e mathematical tasks (2) noticing\/understanding children's ways of thinking as a\u003cbr\u003e foundation for learning mathematics, (3) developing mathematical habits of mind\u003cbr\u003e in PSTs, and (4) understanding the role affect plays in the mathematical learning of\u003cbr\u003e PSTs. The final chapter presents three international examples of programs that\u003cbr\u003e currently consider these factors in the implementation of their courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 146\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 29, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47478614950066,"sku":"9781681235738","price":170.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/03e11131298745a45d1d703594623a1f.webp?v=1779223529","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-mathematics-education-of-elementary-teachers-issues-and-strategies-for-content-courseshc-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
