A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO USING LEARNING STYLES IN MATH INSTRUCTION by Ruby Bostick Midkiff,Rebecca Davis Thomasson Pdf

Although much attention has been given to the use of learning styles in the general curriculum and in teaching students to read., the use of learning styles-based instruction in the mathematics classroom has received limited attention. Therefore, the purpose of this book is to address the improvement of mathematics instruction through the use of learning styles-based instruction. Its goals are to give the reader an understanding of learning styles-based instruction in mathematics, of effective use of manipulatives in teaching various concepts at all grade levels, of ways to develop spatial reasoning skills in students, of different activities which accommodate a variety of learning styles, and of authentic assessment in mathematics. The book presents the use of learning styles-based instruction as a powerful strategy which teachers can and should use with the result that teaching will be more effective, less remediation will be necessary, and the overall mathematics curriculum will be enhanced.

Appendices include a descriptive list of recommended Internet Web sites on mathematics education and two case studies for further discussion. New To This Edition! A new chapter (Chapter 7) examines four major content areas of the secondary and middle school curriculum--algebra, geometry, data analysis and probability, and discrete mathematics--and the teaching methodology and NCTM Standards specific to each area. A new chapter (Chapter 10) devoted to the topic of equity discusses special needs students, gender equity, and ethnic/cultural differences. "How Would You React?" scenarios have been added in each chapter which allow students (and professors) to explore various teaching and learning issues and ideas for making decisions in a debate setting. "Spotlight on Technology" and examples highlighting major chapter concepts involving the use of technology have been interspersed throughout and encourage students to think about the appropriate use of technology in teaching mathematics. Daniel Brahier is Associate Professor of Mathematics Education at Bowling Green State University in Ohio and a current eighth grade teacher. He is also the author of Assessment in Middle and High School Mathematics: A Teacher's Guide (Eye On Education, 2001).
