Lesson Study
Lesson study is a popular professional development approach in Japan whereby teachers collaborate to study content, instruction, and how students solve problems and reach for understanding in order to improve elementary mathematics instruction and learning in the classroom. This book is the first comprehensive look at the system and process of lesson study in Japan. It describes in detail the process of how teachers conducted lesson study--how they collaborated in order to develop a lesson, what they talked about during the process, and what they looked at in order to understand deeply how students were learning. Readers see the planning of a mathematics lesson, as well as how much content knowledge the teachers have. They observe students' problem solving strategies and learn how Japanese teachers prepare themselves to identify those strategies and facilitate the students' discussion. Written for mathematics teachers, educational researchers, school administrators interested in teachers' professional development, and professional developers, this landmark volume provides an in-depth understanding of lesson study that can lead to positive changes in teachers' professional development and in teaching and learning in the United States.

Teaching the common core math standards with hands-on activities, grades 3-5
Helping teachers prepare elementary students to master the common core math standards With the common core math curriculum being adopted by forty-three states, it is imperative that students learn to master those key math standards. Teaching the Common Core Math Standards with Hands-On Activities, Grades 3-5 is the only book currently available that provides activities directly correlated to the new core curriculum for math. This text assists teachers with instructing the material and allows students to practice the concepts through use of the grade-appropriate activities included. Students learn in different ways, and Teaching the Common Core Math Standards with Hands-On Activities, Grades 3-5 acknowledges that fact through the inclusion of suggestions for variations and extensions of each concept to be used for students with different abilities and learning styles. The activities and lessons are as diverse as the students in your classroom. Inside Teaching with Common Core Math Standards With Hands-On Activities Grades 3-5, you will find: ● Clear instructions to help you cover the skills and concepts for the new math core curriculum ● Engaging activities that enforce each core math standard for your students ● Various suggestions for ways to instruct the concepts to reach the diverse learning styles of your students ● Complete coverage of mathematical calculations, mathematical reasoning, and problem-solving strategies appropriate for grades 3-5

Integrating STEM teaching and learning into the K-2 classroom
Here's proof that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) isn't just for the big kids! This book's 10 chapters are a mini-course on blending authentic, phenomena-driven, integrated STEM teaching and learning into busy K-2 classrooms. Based in both research and real-world experience, \"Integrating STEM Teaching and Learning Into the K-2 Classroom\" provides professional learning experiences that help you make connections between STEM topics and the everyday activities you're already doing with your students. The book answers the following questions: (1) How is K-2 STEM education different from what you're already doing, and how can you do it without squeezing more into your already-full schedule?; (2) What are the key elements in an integrated STEM classroom, and how do they work together?; and (3) How do you use STEM in concert with your core reading block? To show you how it all works in real life, the book provides descriptions of four completed projects from actual classrooms--projects with names like \"Baby Bear's Chair\" and \"A Pond Habitat.\" An easy-to-follow template shows you the process for developing your own STEM experiences. The final chapter describes how one district created a culture of STEM teaching and learning when education partners committed to working together toward a common goal. Researchers agree that STEM education is important in early childhood. \"Integrating STEM Teaching and Learning\" gives you the background and strategies to engage your young students in STEM without overloading your day--or overwhelming yourself.

Enhancing primary mathematics teaching
\"This book is the third in an important trilogy of edited collections on the teaching and learning of primary mathematics. To each book the editor, Ian Thompson, has attracted a team of expert contributors, and himself set the characteristically high standard of writing and clarity... When, in 10 or 20 years' time, people want to know about the state of English primary mathematics at the turn of the 21st century, they will turn to this volume. You would do well to read it now.\" Mathematics in Schools \"This is the third book in the popular series edited by Ian Thompson that brings together an impressive array of contributing authors. Current issues are discussed in an informed but concise way that makes research accessible to the wider community of mathematics educators.\" Julia Anghileri, University of Cambridge This book explores the effect that the National Numeracy Strategy and its successor, the Primary Strategy, have had on the way in which mathematics is taught in primary schools. Prominent contributors examine the Strategies' recommendations from the perspective of their own research areas or interests, and discuss the issues involved, including: Ideas for extending current practice Suggestions of important aspects of mathematics teaching that are being given little or no emphasis Alternative approaches that could be integrated into current practice Aspects of current practice that need to take account of recent research findings or emerging issues. Each chapter discusses implications for teaching and learning primary mathematics. The book will be particularly useful for trainees, practising teachers, mathematics coordinators and numeracy consultants.
