Improving Mathematics Instruction for All Students through Research-Based Approaches.
Research has long been recognized as a key component to building effective mathematics education for all grades. This 2014 issue of Annual Perspectives in Mathematics Education (APME) focuses on the core of NCTM’s mission since its inception: supporting teachers to improve instruction through research-based approaches. The 24 chapters, written by leading mathematics educators and researchers, are grouped into five topic areas: Change; Problem Solving; Reasoning, Explaining, and Discourse; Seeing Structure and Generalizing; and Assessment for Teaching and Learning.
These five sections feature a wide range of subjects and approaches that include -
- how to create a classroom culture that encourages students to be persistent
- strategies for building on students’ explanations in ways that invite them into discussions
- methods for improving proficiency with the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practices
- ways to develop student mathematicians through formative assessment cycles
- a framework for turning mathematical errors into springboards for learning.
About Annual Perspectives in Mathematics Education (APME)
NCTM’s new flagship series is designed to provide a range of perspectives focused each year on a timely topic in mathematics education. APME will take on important subjects and issues, offering a wide range of authors (including classroom teachers, university researchers, and occasionally educators outside of mathematics education), targeting a diverse audience that reflects NCTM’s membership, and featuring chapters that span the pre-K–16 spectrum.
