Elementary Social Studies: Constructing a Powerful Approach to Teaching and Learning
by Bruce A. VanSledright S.G. Grant Anne-Lise HalvorsenThe fully updated fifth edition of Elementary Social Studies provides a rich and ambitious framework to help social studies teachers achieve powerful teaching and learning results. Organized around four commonplaces of education—learners and learning, subject matter, teachers and teaching, and classroom environment—and deeply rooted in inquiry-based teaching and learning, this book deeply probes the basic elements of quality instruction—planning, implementation, and assessment—always with the goal of creating and supporting students who are motivated, engaged, and thoughtful.Book features and updates to the fifth edition include: • New guidance on tackling controversial issues in the social studies classroom. • Fully revised chapter on creating a genuine learning community, which now addresses socio-emotional learning and family involvement in the classroom. • New perspectives on the importance of teaching for social justice. • Increased attention to the C3 Framework for state social studies standards. • Chapters on using the Inquiry Design Model (IDM) to understand inquiry-based teaching and learning and to develop IDM inquiries. • Real-classroom narratives that introduce chapters and provide in-depth access to teaching and learning contexts. • Practical curriculum and resource suggestions for the social studies classroom. • End-of-chapter summaries and annotated teaching resources.By blending the theoretical and the practical, this book is essential reading for pre-service and in-service social studies teachers.

Elementary Turkish (Dover Language Guides)
by Lewis ThomasTurkish is the primary language of some thirty million people. Anyone concerned with current social, political, and cultural developments in Turkey knows that a practical understanding of the basic patterns of modern Turkish is an invaluable skill that until now has been difficult to attain without extensive training.This superb grammar and exercise text, used successfully for years in Princeton University, enables English-speaking students — in and out of the classroom — to gain a quick and thorough understanding of modern Turkish. In a carefully arranged sequence of 23 lessons, Lewis V. Thomas, late Professor of Oriental Studies at Princeton, presents thorough coverage that allows the student to begin to use the basic patterns of modern Turkish without time-consuming and expensive private instruction.The method of instruction was devised after an extensive analysis of results in Princeton classrooms, and relies on exercises at the end of each lesson to test the student's grasp of the material. Beginning with the alphabet and numbers, Professor Thomas offers clear, concise coverage of articles, adjectives and nouns, common infinitives, personal pronouns, and elementary verbs. As the student's comprehension of basic elements develops, further lessons deal with more complicated subjects such as the possessive construction, past general verbs, postpositions, the partitive, progressive verb forms, and abbreviating verb forms. A complete Turkish-English glossary translates new vocabulary occurring in the exercises.Norman Itzkowitz, Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University, has skillfully made the necessary revisions and additions to complete Professor Thomas' work. For anyone who needs to communicate in this important and influential language, Professor Thomas' proven course, now in an inexpensive paperback edition, is the most effective method available.
Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally
by John A. Van de Walle Karen S. Karp Jennifer M. Bay Williams"It is fun to figure out the puzzle of how children go about making sense of mathematics and then how to help teachers help kids. " John A. Van de Walle, Late of Virginia Commonwealth University This is the philosophy behindElementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally. John A. Van de Walle wrote this book to help students understand mathematics and become confident in their ability to teach the subject to children in kindergarten through eighth grade. Although he could not have foreseen the changes in mathematics teaching over the last three decades, he was at the forefront of the movement towards a constructivist view of teaching, or teaching developmentally. Constructivism says that children construct their own knowledge. They are not blank slates waiting to absorb whatever the teacher tells them. Teachers must understand both mathematics itself and how students learn mathematics in order to teach it effectively. Learning through problem solving is another major theme of this book. Students solve problems not just to apply mathematics, but also to learn new mathematics. Effective problems will take into account where students are, the problematic or engaging aspect of the problem must be due to the mathematics that the students are to learn and not be diluted by non-mathematical activities such as cutting or pasting, and the problem must require justifications and explanations for answers and methods. Learning then becomes an outcome of the problem solving process. The book also addresses in more detail than any other book on the market the effect that the trends of standards-based education, increased pressure to test, and increased teacher accountability have had on teaching mathematics. He addresses the 2000 NCTM Standards in depth, in Chapter 1 on Teaching Mathematics in the Era of the NCTM Standards, through the NCTM icon that appears in the margins throughout the text, and in two appendices in the back of the book. Chapter 5 on Building Assessment into Instruction has also been heavily revised to focus on increased testing pressure, creating more explicit links between objectives and assessment, and including assessments for students with special needs. Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentallyis a book for doing math today-for both students who want to become teachers, and the students they will eventually teach. New To This Edition: NEW! Revises Chapter 5 on assessment--Discusses increased testing pressure and accountability, adds more information on equitable assessments, creates more explicit links between objectives and assessment, and includes assessments for students with special needs. NEW! Updates theLiterature Connectionsfeature to remove all out of print children's literature and include more non-fiction, poetry, and other types of readings. NEW! Weaves theFocal Pointsthroughout the chapters as well as links them with theBig Ideasfeature-Focal Pointshave also been added to the Appendix. NEW! Includes expanded coverage of working with diverse learners. NEW! Gives greater emphasis on dealing with math anxiety.

Elemente der Codierungstheorie: Besser sehen, besser hören, besser informieren (Mathematik Primarstufe und Sekundarstufe I + II)
by Gert Kadunz Hermann KautschitschIm täglichen Leben sind wir zunehmend von Codes umgeben, die mathematisch konstruiert werden. Sie sind teils leicht erkennbar (Strichcode, ISBN, IBAN, QR) und teils eher verborgen (GPS, WLAN, CD, DVD). In diesem Buch werden solche Codes vorgestellt. Es wird dargelegt, wie sie aufgebaut sind, wie sie funktionieren und welche Mathematik zu ihrer Entwicklung und Anwendung notwendig ist. Die Lesenden lernen, eigenhändig Codes zu erstellen, Fehler zu erkennen und zu korrigieren:EAN, ISBN und deren Barcodedarstellung sowie die internationale Bankkontonummer IBAN werden erarbeitet.Kleine QR-Codes werden mit den vorgestellten Methoden (Paritätsprüfung, Linearcode, Polynomcode, zyklischer Code und Reed-Solomon Code) anschaulich realisiert.An der Herstellung einer Mini-CD mit einem CIRC-Code über einem kleinen Körper werden wesentliche Konstruktionsprinzipien von neuen Codes aus bestehenden Codes, wie z.B. Kürzen, Erweitern, Spreizen (Interleaving) und gekreuztes Spreizen (Cross-Interleaving) veranschaulicht.Das Verstehen von Mathematik wird durch diese selbstständige Erstellung und Verwendung didaktisch maßgeschneiderter Codes wesentlich gefördert.Ein besonderer Fokus des Buchs liegt auf elementaren Methoden des Rechnens mit ganzen Zahlen und Polynomen. Für diese benötigt man nur den Satz von der Division mit Rest als zentrale Aussage – daher können große Abschnitte bereits mit Lernenden der Sekundarstufe II erarbeitet und die Grundlagen wesentlicher Teile der Codierungstheorie von den Lernenden mathematisch korrekt erfasst werden. Für Ausführungen, zu deren Verständnis Kenntnisse notwendig sind, die über die Mathematik der Sekundarstufe II hinausgehen, liegt ein ausführlicher Anhang vor (Vektorräume, Matrizen, Rechnen in endlichen Körpern).
