Description
Teaching Math is for middle and high school math teachers, parents, administrators, and math educators. It is NOT a textbook.
Teaching Math is more like my Manifesto (i.e. a written statement declaring publicly the intentions, motives, or views of its issuer) regarding the current situation in math education in the United States today.
I have no doubt it will be controversial and unacceptable to many in the math education establishment, particularly textbook publishers. And, you will need to understand some high school math to understand the book.
Teaching Math contends that, and explains why, the current standard high school mathematics curriculum is not working for many students. In a nutshell, because it is too compartmentalized, is not interactive and self-paced enough, and inadequately utilizes the 21st Century power tools of math.
Teaching Math reveals and explains a revolutionary new high school curriculum that will work for virtually all students, both slow and fast learners, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry, Calculus and more.
Teaching Math explains how the Effective Math Education Triad provides the basis for any successful high school math curriculum.
Teaching Math explains how a basic foundational presentation of Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry can be achieved in about forty to sixty hours of student time in about a semester either utilizing a good tutor or an online program I have developed which is delivered over the Internet. A Syllabus to achieve this is given.
At this point the student will know enough practical math to enter many technical trades and have a good foundation to proceed in their math education if they choose to pursue a STEM career.
Why teaching math in a tiered manner is much more desirable for most students is thoroughly discussed, with examples give in special videos from the “Interludesâ€.
Four major Power Tools of Math are recommended with explanations of how, why, and when to use them. This is critical for many reasons in 21st century math.
Four important mathematics Resources are recommended for both teachers and students. Some are for the standard curriculum and some for the new recommended curriculum.
A major “gaping hole†in the standard high school math curriculum, the inadequate treatment of the Complex Number System, is discussed and explained.
Teaching Math explains how modern technologies make it possible to significantly reduce the total costs of high school math education, while dramatically improving its quality. Quality up, Costs down.
Six Interludes give examples of topics that should be of interest to any high school math teacher, from Archimedes Tombstone, the Generalized Pythagorean Theorem, to topics from complex numbers.
Anyone, parent, teacher or administrator, who is interested in the math education of a high school student, should gain new insights and perspectives that will help them in their decision making regarding the student’s math education from Teaching Math.
A home school parent/teacher would probably benefit more from another book I have written which is a companion to Teaching Math: It is available in Kindle format: How to Give Your Child a Great Math Education
A parent with a student in a public or private school who is struggling with math would probably benefit more from another companion Kindle book I have written, titled: Math? Help!
An adult who wishes to learn practical math to improve their career and job opportunities will also benefit more from this last book.
