Math makes sense a constructivist approach to the teaching and learning of mathematics / [electronic resource] : Ana Helvia Quintero; Héctor Rosario. - London : Imperial College Press, 2016. - 1 online resource.
Fostering the learning of mathematics Construction of concepts and mathematical interpretations Numbering Addition and subtraction Multiplication and division Fractions, decimals, and percentages Measurement Exploring space Probability and statistics Patterns, relations, and functions The joy of puzzles Technology : a tool for analysis and interpretation Assessment Concluding remarks.
"The methods for teaching mathematics usually follow the structure of mathematics. The problem with this is that the structure of mathematics took centuries of elaboration to develop and is not the same as how one originally experiences mathematics. Based on research of how mathematics is actually learned, this book presents an innovative approach for teaching mathematics that will engage pupils and can have lifelong benefits for how they take on board more advanced mathematical topics." -- page (4) of cover.
