Teachers Engaged in Research
Inquiry into Mathematics Classrooms, Grades 3-5
A volume in the series: Teachers Engaged in Research. Editor(s): Denise S. Mewborn, University of Georgia.
Published 2006
Through the chapters in this volume we learn about the questions that capture the attention of teachers, the methodologies they use to gather data, and the ways in which they make sense of what they find. Some of the research findings could be considered preliminary, others confirmatory, and some may be groundbreaking. In all cases, they provide fodder for further thinking and discussion about critical aspects of mathematics education.
REVIEWS
"Each of the 11 accounts is well-written and gives a detailed description of the teacher’s rationale for choosing the topic for the research. ...This reviewer highly recommends this volume to mathematics teachers, mathematics education researchers, and faculty involved in preservice teacher education." ~ Christopher Johnson, George Mason University
"...an excellent job of discussing pertinent issues related to the teaching and learning of mathematics in the middle grades. ...easy to read, provides the reader with insights on the experiences of teachers committed to supporting their students learning, and serves as a catalyst for others thinking about or working to reform mathematics education." ~ Kadian M. Howell, Education Review
