DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlthough much attention has been given to the use of learning styles in the general curriculum and in teaching students to read., the use of learning styles-based instruction in the mathematics classroom has received limited attention. Therefore, the purpose of this book is to address the improvement of mathematics instruction through the use of learning styles-based instruction. Its goals are to give the reader an understanding of learning styles-based instruction in mathematics, of effective use of manipulatives in teaching various concepts at all grade levels, of ways to develop spatial reasoning skills in students, of different activities which accommodate a variety of learning styles, and of authentic assessment in mathematics. The book presents the use of learning styles-based instruction as a powerful strategy which teachers can and should use with the result that teaching will be more effective, less remediation will be necessary, and the overall mathematics curriculum will be enhanced.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGifted students have the potential to learn material earlier and faster, to handle more complexity and abstraction, and to solve complex problems better. This potential, however, needs stimulating experiences from home and school or it will not unfold. These books are designed to help teachers provide the stimulating curricula that will nurture this potential in school. The units presented in this series are based on research into how these students actually think differently from their peers and how they use their learning styles and potential not merely to develop intellectual expertise, but to move beyond expertise to the production of new ideas. The Math book includes units that ask students to develop a financial portfolio that includes high- and low-risk stocks, options and margins, AAA and junk bonds, mutual funds, and money markets; use math, science, engineering, technology, and art to design and build a miniature golf course; develop games based on probability; and run a real-life small business. Grades 6-8

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book was published exclusively with the goal of preparing students to be future elementary school teachers. This four-color book is exactly the same as Wheeler and Wheeler's Modern Mathematics, Ninth Edition with the following additions: The preface was written directly with the goal of educating elementary school teachers, NCTM Standards are included in the book's end papers, and Reproductions of actual pages from four-color elementary school textbooks have been added.Guided by a team of reviewers and suggestions from more than 130 professors, the authors have produced an important revision. At the beginning of each section, goals and objectives have been replaced by statements from the NCTM Standards. Within each section the authors present the content, examples, problem sets, and laboratory exercises that fulfill the philosophy and the direction suggested by the Standards. In this edition, Ruric Wheeler is joined by his son, Ed, as co-author.An activities manual for prospective elementary school teachers has been completely rewritten by a team of authors with many years of experience teaching elementary and middle school students. In addition to a rich variety of activities it includes ''Talk to Teachers,'' a section that discusses the significance of each activity in the growth and preparation of the young student.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKInspiring popular video games like Tetris while contributing to the study of combinatorial geometry and tiling theory, polyominoes have continued to spark interest ever since their inventor, Solomon Golomb, introduced them to puzzle enthusiasts several decades ago. In this fully revised and expanded edition of his landmark book, the author takes a new generation of readers on a mathematical journey into the world of the deceptively simple polyomino. Golomb incorporates important, recent developments, and poses problems, inviting the reader to play with and develop an understanding of the extraordinary properties of polyominoes.
