Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In our efforts to reform mathematics education, we've learned a tremendous amount about young students' strategies and the ways they construct knowledge, without fully understanding how to support such development over time. The Dutch do. So, funded by the National Science Foundation and ExxonMobil, Mathematics in the City was begun, a collaborative inservice project that pooled the best thinking from both countries. In Young Mathematicians at Work, Catherine Fosnot and Maarten Dolk reveal what they learned after several years of intensive study in numerous urban classrooms. In this third volume in a series of three, Fosnot and Dolk focus on how children in grades 5-8 construct their knowledge of fractions, decimals, and percents. Their book: - describes and illustrates what it means to do and learn mathematics. - contrasts word problems with true problematic situations which support and enhance investigation and inquiry. - provides strategies to help teachers turn their classrooms into math workshops. - explores the cultural and historical development of fractions, decimals, and their equivalents and the ways in which children develop similar ideas and strategies. - defines and gives examples of modeling, noting the importance of context. - discusses calculation using number sense and the role of algorithms in computation instruction. - describes how to strengthen performance and portfolio assessment. - focuses on teachers as learners by encouraging them to see themselves as mathematicians. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Archaeologists have excavated in the continent for 200 years. The pace of this research has quickened over the last half-century. In this book some of the noted specialists pursue a regional approach and some examine particular periods of the continent's prehistory. Others chart the changing interrelationships between African archaeology and other disciplines. Particular features are the contributions by J.D. Clark, Thurstan Shaw and Peter Shinnie, archaeologists who have been in the forefront of the subject for almost fifty years.".

Ready to Learn offers teachers and support staff a wonderful program to help with various everyday classroom behavioral, social and learning issues. It describes how to run the story telling metaphorical projects that students are sure to become involved with- kids likes stories and adventures and to feel capable and successful. This seems to be what this program is all about. I found that while reading this it seemed to me that the authors have put together something that many of us do everyday but we may lack a theme or link to tie things all together. The book provides a format and gives lots of descriptions of how this has played out in the classroom along with trouble shooting to help when one might have things come up or get stuck. Chapter 2 titled: Following a Class Through an Interplay Unit was just great. I could see the entire program conducted from the beginning to the end. The chapter describes how the teacher is able to addresses all sorts of classroom issues (disorganization, distracted students, uncooperative behaviors) through an adventure where the individual students and the classroom as a whole move through a knighthood tale. The students listen to a story, role play the story and then accomplish tasks each week to work toward being `knighted'. Challenges occured along the way- but eventually were worked out to where the students were able to support each other and feel successful. The classroom at the end of the unit was quite different from the one described at the beginning. The end of the unit culminates with a knighting ceremony. While reading the chapter- I felt as if I was a fly on the wall in the classroom- change the names and they were students I knew. It was truly magical to read! I would encourage any teacher or support staff to check this book out. I look forward to sharing it with teachers and support staff I work with in various special education programs.
