Items related to Mathematics Education for a Changing World
How should mathematics be taught to students? Schools of thought on the question are many, but definite answers are few. Stephen Willoughby's Mathematics Education for a Changing World presents commonsense applications for teaching math in the most effective way possible in an increasingly complex world.
According to the author, advocates of the back-to-basics movement and proponents of New Math are both shortchanging students by emphasizing one crucial aspect of math at the expense of another, when they need not be mutually exclusive. Memorization and drills are important, but so are problem-specific games and illustrations; the abstractness of math makes it universally applicable, but concrete examples are necessary to prove its relevance in the real world. This book combines practical reasoning, classroom examples and philosophical guidance to provide a thoughtful dialectic on K-12 mathematics.
