Recenzii
One of the book's strengths lies in its organizational structure. Teachers can easily navigate to relevant topics because each misconception section is organized and presented in the same way. . . .The author offers a wide range of potential solutions to correct each misconception. . . .The book offers a wealth of information that would be good for K-grade 12 teachers to have at their disposal.
This book would be best used in undergraduate or master's level teacher education courses that specifically address learning mathematics. . . .The descriptions of what teachers can do are useful and straightforward, and they discuss various ways for students to understand the concept of an algorithm. The research notes are useful summaries of research that has been conducted concerning each misconception; this research can be used as a platform for further investigation.
What a great idea for a book! What I really mean is, what a great idea for reaching teachers and helping them understand and teach mathematics better!...Being able to focus on one misconception at a time will allow teachers to think about and understand concepts more than they usually do.
This book is a useful resource for the classroom math teacher as it provides many examples of student errors, and also provides some practical ways to help remedy such errors.
