Designed for pre-service or in-service teachers, Teaching Secondary and Middle School Mathematics offers succinct, current, and meaningful descriptions of what it takes to be an effective teacher of mathematics. This practical resource offers an effective balance of theory and practice, including a wealth of examples and descriptions of classroom situations.
The units of the book include the nature of mathematics, the curriculum, lesson and unit planning (including a chapter on how technology influences planning), assessment, and the teaching profession. Appendices include reprints of selected NCTM Standards, sample State-level outcomes, case studies, a descriptive list of recommended Internet websites on mathematics education, and over 40 sample lessons and activities from various areas of mathematics.
The 10-chapter format was designed with the professor in-mind. Most colleges and universities are on 10-week quarters or 15-week semesters, so it is practical to assign roughly one chapter per week. Each chapter contains specific outcomes for the reader, a glossary of relevant terms, several discussion questions and an extensive bibliography that contains references and suggested readings.

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). With experience as a teacher, administrator, guidance counselor, and curriculum coordinator, his teaching and writing draws from every angle.
