6th edition elementary mathematics middle school

Discussions about the role of covariation have been added and there are additional opportunities for students to create and interpret graphs of covarying quantities. Additional guidance addresses common errors in formulating equations. Chapter 10 - An additional activity introduces the need for angles. Revisions clarify the link between the rotation and static view of angles. Additional problems offer opportunities to make and reason about simple protractors by folding paper, to clarify how protractors measure angles.

Additional problems explore how locations in a plane are related to intersections of circles. Chapter 11 - Additional problems and revisions concern making and interpreting rulers, and common errors that occur from misinterpreting how rulers measure length. Chapter 12 - Additional emphasis was placed on counting units as the simplest and most direct way to determine area.

Additional problems and revisions allow the connection between the area formula for rectangles and the equal groups definition of multiplication to be explored more thoroughly. Chapter 13 - There is additional emphasis on counting units as the simplest and most direct way to determine volume. Chapter 14 - The descriptions of the different types of symmetry have been simplified to make them easier to understand.

Material on creating symmetrical designs has been re-inserted. A new interactive figure was developed to illustrate how to view geometric similarity as involving quantities that vary but are in a fixed relationship. Chapter 15 - The discussion on the distinction between statistical questions and other mathematical questions has been elaborated and problems exploring the distinction have been added. There is additional discussion on bias and the role of randomness in avoiding bias.

A new problem gives students the opportunity to classify questions about graphs. A Class Activity has been extended to explore the connection between the fair share view of the mean with the balance point view. Some Class Activities have been revised so they can be used either with electronic simulations or with hands-on materials. Chapter 16 - A new Class Activity helps students make a connection between long run relative frequency and probability.

A new problem has been added to explore probabilities related to infectious disease. Revisions to the section on using fraction arithmetic to calculate probabilities clarify how the calculations are justified based on the meaning of multiplication, addition, and subtraction. Redesigned for ease of navigation Streamlined organization of MyLab Math content is now more visually appealing.

Integrated Mathematics and Pedagogy IMAP videos and video exercises The popular IMAP video exercises show elementary and middle school students working through problems, providing great insight into student thinking. Videos have been increased based on user feedback. All IMAP videos now have at least one assignable exercise , enabling instructors to check that students actually watched the video.

Instructors can assign the interactive figures as part of homework via MyLab Math. Mindset videos and assignable, open-ended exercises foster a growth mindset in students. MyLab Math Early Alerts Now included with Performance Analytics, Early Alerts use predictive analytics to identify struggling studentseven if their assignment scores are not a cause for concern.

Connect with us to learn more. Gibbs Instructor of Mathematics. Her early research was on Arithmetic Geometry, but her current research is in mathematical cognition, education of teachers, and mathematics content for students at all levels, particularly for PreK through the middle grades. She has developed mathematics courses for prospective elementary and middle grades teachers at the University of Georgia and wrote this book for such courses.

She has also been a member on a number of other national panels and committees working to improve mathematics education. Several years ago she taught an average 6th grade mathematics class every day at a local public school in order to better understand school mathematics teaching. Dolciani Award from the Mathematical Association of America.

Sybilla enjoys playing piano, running, singing, dancing, weaving, and traveling with her family. She and her husband, Will Kazez, live in Athens, Georgia. They look forward to visits from their two children who are now away working and in graduate school.

Description For courses in Mathematics for Teachers Develops deep understanding of mathematics that leads to effective teaching Mathematics for Elementary and Middle School Teachers , 6 th edition connects the foundations of K-8 mathematics to the "why" behind procedures and formulas.

About the book: Organization a round o perations instead of different types of numbers provides two key advantages: A more advanced, unified perspective, which emphasizes that a given operation addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division retains its meaning across all the different types of numbers.

Fractions, decimals, and percents -- traditional weak spots -- can be studied repeatedly throughout a course, rather than only at the end. The repeated coverage of fractions, decimals, and percents allows students to gradually become used to reasoning with these numbers, so they aren't overwhelmed when they get to multiplication and division of fractions and decimals.

Emphasis on key concepts and principles guides prospective teachers in giving explanations; teachers will come to organize their knowledge around the key concepts and principles of mathematics so they will be able to help their own students do the same. REVISED - Updated introductions to many sections provide a better rationale for the material and engage the ideas that future teachers may already have about the material.

From the Field also has been expanded with Indexes and Bibliographies. The page references for all Classroom Activity pages are differentiated with the prefix "CA. Correlations are continually updated. The 6 th e dition adds a wealth of new activities; additionally, a new "Materials" list at the beginning of activities details any necessary resources outside of the worksheet itself.

Many resources are available as downloadable pages bit. They are designed to be unobtrusive for use in states which have not adopted the Common Core standards. Visual representations , including number lines, double number lines, strip diagrams also known as tape diagrams , and base-ten drawings are used repeatedly throughout the book and help prospective teachers learn to explain and make sense of mathematical ideas, solution methods, and standard notation. Additional references to recommendations have been included.

Practice problems allow students to apply principles with examples and explanation. Answers to Practice Problems appear immediately after the problem so students can check their understanding before moving on to the Problems.

Problems give students opportunities to explain the mathematics they have learned without seeing the answer. More challenging problems are indicated with a purple asterisk. NEW - Chapter Review Problems provide unique assistance to students by pulling together ideas from the chapter as a whole and preparing students more effectively for chapter tests.
