Mental Computation and Estimation by Charalampos Lemonidis Pdf

Mental calculations and estimations are basic, everyday skills that are essential for real-life arithmetic operations and number sense. This book presents a much needed overview and analysis of mental computation and estimation, drawing on contemporary research and empirical studies that were conducted on students, teachers and adults to cover all aspects of this complex field. Mental Computation and Estimation analyses the implications that are involved in the research, teaching and learning of mathematics and delivers effective practices that will enhance everyday learning for students. Focusing on a range of international research and studies from the School of Nature and Life Mathematics in Greece, it answers a number of important questions including: What mental calculations and estimations are, why they are important and what other mathematical concepts and cognitive behaviors are they related to? What strategies are used on mental additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions and how are multiplication tables learned? What are the new trends in the teaching of mental calculation and estimation? An invaluable resource for all those involved in the practice and research of mathematics education, Mental Computation and Estimation will also be a useful tool for researchers, policy makers and developers of educational programs.

The Role of Mental Computation and Estimation in Elementary School by Peter McCarthy Pdf

The study sought to investigate how Grade 3 students from two separate schools learned mathematics. The study explores the role of mental computation when students are engaged in sharing their invented strategies. I observed students sharing ideas and teachers implementing mental computation lessons over fifteen sessions. Interviews with students and teachers, copies of students' journal on mental math strategies were used to collect additional data. The findings were organized around descriptive moments; as I described how students were absorbed in mathematical conversation when they were invited to think mathematically and also encouraged to use their own strategies. I drew on the epistemology of constructivism in problem solving, to understand how students develop conceptual understanding of mathematics when given the opportunity to explain their own strategies. Students' cooperation in sharing their inventions was observed in class and group discussions, as well as in pairs with classmates. It was at these levels where the students: (a) eagerly invented numerous strategies for solving addition, subtraction and multiplication problems; (b) made sound arguments in support of their ideas when discussing problem solving strategies; (c) were cooperative in presenting their strategies; (d) learned from each other by listening to one another's explanations; (e) learned from correcting their errors; and (f) used their cognitive backgrounds as useful heuristics in their discussions. The students expressed their satisfaction and enjoyment during their collaborative learning and social interactions. The teachers used questioning strategies, among other teaching principles, to help students to complete their presentations. These included leading questions, probing and follow-ups, checklisting and student-specific questioning strategies. The study informs teachers about how mental mathematics lessons were implemented in the two Grade 3 classrooms to help the students understand mathematics. Teachers should be given courses, workshops and supportive programs on implementing mental computation lessons. This will give teachers the necessary experiences to increase their understanding of how students improve their understanding of mathematics when they are encouraged to share their inventions in class. The study provides a useful template for future studies in all subject areas of mathematics related to mental computation and estimation at all grade levels.

Fostering Children's Mathematical Power by Arthur J. Baroody,Ronald T. Coslick Pdf

Teachers have the responsibility of helping all of their students construct the disposition and knowledge needed to live successfully in a complex and rapidly changing world. To meet the challenges of the 21st century, students will especially need mathematical power: a positive disposition toward mathematics (curiosity and self confidence), facility with the processes of mathematical inquiry (problem solving, reasoning and communicating), and well connected mathematical knowledge (an understanding of mathematical concepts, procedures and formulas). This guide seeks to help teachers achieve the capability to foster children's mathematical power - the ability to excite them about mathematics, help them see that it makes sense, and enable them to harness its might for solving everyday and extraordinary problems. The investigative approach attempts to foster mathematical power by making mathematics instruction process-based, understandable or relevant to the everyday life of students. Past efforts to reform mathematics instruction have focused on only one or two of these aims, whereas the investigative approach accomplishes all three. By teaching content in a purposeful context, an inquiry-based fashion, and a meaningful manner, this approach promotes chilren's mathematical learning in an interesting, thought-provoking and comprehensible way. This teaching guide is designed to help teachers appreciate the need for the investigative approach and to provide practical advice on how to make this approach happen in the classroom. It not only dispenses information, but also serves as a catalyst for exploring, conjecturing about, discussing and contemplating the teaching and learning of mathematics.

Helping Children Learn Mathematics by Robert Reys,Mary Lindquist,Diana V. Lambdin,Nancy L. Smith Pdf

The 11th Edition of Helping Children Learn Mathematics is designed to help those who are or will be teachers of mathematics in elementary schools help children develop understanding and proficiency with mathematics so they can solve problems. This text is built around three main themes; helping children make sense of mathematics, incorporating practical experiences and using research to guide teaching. It also integrates connections and implications from the Common Core Standards: Mathematics (CCSS-M).
