Problems in the Teaching of Secondary Mathematics an Address Delivered Before the New England Association of Teachers of Mathematics (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This focused address argues for teaching mathematics with clarity, purpose, and joy, not merely as a set of rules. In Problems in the Teaching of Secondary Mathematics, the speaker maps a practical path for algebra, geometry, and related topics in U.S. classrooms.
The discussion moves from the aims of mathematics education to concrete questions about when and how to introduce ideas like functions, and how to align school work with real learning needs. It touches on early grades, the role of technical schools, and the value of comparing American practice with international experience, all in a steady push toward wiser, more effective teaching.
- Insight into moving from routine arithmetic to integrated algebra and geometry
- Arguments for introducing the concept of functions early in schooling
- Thoughtful consideration of mathematics in technical and industrial curricula
- A framework for evaluating and improving math education with careful study
Ideal for teachers, administrators, and students of education seeking a thoughtful, historical view of math instruction.
