Concept-based mathematics
Description
Book Introduction
"Concept-Based Mathematics," a book that integrates a concept-based curriculum into math classes, has been translated and published!
A new learning concept that breaks away from the traditional curriculum that emphasizes only knowledge and skills and explores concepts and ideas!
This book expands and develops the work of Lynn Erickson and Lois Lanning into the mathematics domain in a concept-based curriculum.
Although primarily focused on secondary mathematics classrooms, the strategies presented by the author transfer across elementary, middle, and high school classrooms.
Even teachers of other subjects can refer to this book for its many strategies, making it a valuable resource for sharing.
Special sections include sample lessons, sample student assignments, vignettes from international educators, and discussion questions that can be used during book readings with colleagues or in teacher training settings.
Traditional curricula focus on rules and procedures rather than understanding the conceptual relationships in mathematics.
Concept-based curricula, on the other hand, feature a three-dimensional design model that links factual content, skills, and processes into subject concepts, generalizations, and principles.
In his book, Worsall presents several design strategies that can help you design lessons that elicit deep and sophisticated thinking.
This book allows teachers to focus their teaching on deeper conceptual understanding and prepare students for future success.
Develop a concept-based approach to curriculum and instruction through practical examples of concept-based lessons, unit meshes, unit plans, and various assessment tools.
This text provides a set of sample lesson modules and free online resources (including templates) with activity sheets that promote deeper conceptual understanding of specific math topics.
Additional elementary, middle, and high school math class examples can be explored on the online platforms listed in the text.
