Activity Manual for Mathematical Reasoning for Elementary Teachers - Dan Dolan

. .

Résumé :
This resource provides hands-on, manipulative-based activities keyed to the text that involve future elementary school teachers discovering concepts, solving problems, and exploring mathematical ideas. These activities can be adapted for use with elementary students at a later time. Colorful, perforated paper manipulatives are provided in a convenient pouch at the back of the manual....

Biographie:
Calvin Long received his B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Idaho. Following M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics from the University of Oregon, he worked briefly as an analyst for the National Security Agency and then joined the faculty at Washington State University. His teaching ran the gamut from elementary algebra through graduate courses and included frequently teaching the content courses for prospective elementary school teachers. His other professional activities include serving on numerous committees of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Mathematical Association of America, and holding various leadership positions in those organizations. Professor Long has also been heavily engaged in directing and instructing in-service workshops and institutes for teachers at all levels, has given more than 100 presentations at national and regional meetings of NCTM and its affiliated groups, and has presented invited lectures on mathematics education abroad. Professor Long has co-authored two books and is the sole author of a text in number theory. In addition, he has authored over 90 articles on mathematics and mathematics education, and also served as a frequent reviewer for mathematics journals, including The Arithmetic Teacher and The Mathematics Teacher. In 1986, he received the Faculty Excellence Award in Teaching from Washington State University and, in 1991, he received a Certificate for Meritorious Service to the Mathematical Association of America. Aside from his professional activities, Cal enjoys listening to, singing, and directing classical music, reading, fly fishing, camping, and backpacking. Duane DeTemple received his B.S. with majors in Applied Science and Mathematics from Portland State College. Following his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Stanford University, he was a faculty member at Washington State University, where he is now a Professor Emeritus of Mathematics. He has been extensively involved with teacher preparation and professional development at both the elementary and secondary levels. Professor DeTemple has been a frequent consultant to projects sponsored by the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Higher Education Coordinating Board, and other boards and agencies. Dr. DeTemple has co-authored four other books and over 100 articles on mathematics or mathematics materials for the classroom. He is a member of the Washington State University President's Teaching Academy, and in 2007 was the recipient of the WSU Sahlin Faculty Excellence Award for Instruction and the Distinguished Teaching Award of the Pacific Northwest Section of the Mathematical Association of America. In addition to teaching and research mathematics, Duane enjoys reading, listening to, and playing music, hiking, biking, canoeing, traveling, and playing tennis. Richard Millman received a B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. from Cornell University in Mathematics. He is a professor of mathematics and was director of the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) at the Georgia Institute of Technology, which supports STEM outreach in K-12. He was formerly the Outreach Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky, where he was involved in both preservice and in-service teacher training for mathematics teachers. Dr. Millman has co-authored four books in mathematics, co-edited three others, and received ten peer-reviewed grants. He has published over 50 articles about mathematics or mathematics education and has taught a wide variety of mathematics and mathematics education courses throughout the undergraduate and graduate curriculum, including those for preservice teachers. He ...
