Teaching with Tasks for Effective Mathematics Learning

Beschreibung

Using classroom mathematics tasks to support student learning is the topic of this timely volume. Employing research-based data, the authors focus on teacher practice as well as teacher and student learning and knowledge creation to demonstrate the use of mathematics tasks which promote effective student understanding. Unique in the field, the book provides a thorough, comprehensive guide to the nature of tasks for researchers, teacher educators, curriculum designers, administrators and teachers. Chapters on the effective implementation of mathematics tasks in the classroom, distinct pedagogical concepts related to teaching with mathematics tasks, and sample lessons that clearly demonstrate successful uses for mathematics tasks in the classroom are included.  The book is designed to provide a mix of cutting-edge data on task use with concrete examples of successful tasks and implementation tactics.  All of the lesson plans and illustrative examples provided have been extensively evaluated and tested in actual learning situations and feature specific suggestions for combating student difficulties and promoting solution pathways. This is a book that is essential for anyone hoping to understand both the importance of mathematics tasks for enhancing student learning and ways in which mathematics tasks can be applied in the classroom to achieve learning goals and objectives.     
This book is about how teachers can use classroom mathematics tasks to support student learning, and presents data on the ways in which teachers used those tasks in a particular research project. It is the product of research findings focusing on teacher practice, teacher learning and knowledge, and student learning. It demonstrates how teachers can use mathematics tasks to promote effective student learning.
Provides a guide to the effective classroom use of tasks through elaborating appropriate pedagogies Illustrates effective use of tasks by providing examples of lessons that have been trialled, observed and analysed Uniquely presents student responses to tasks and lessons mathematical pedagogy?

From the reviews:

“In this book, Sullivan, Clarke and Clarke make an important contribution to the growing literature on mathematics tasks as they outline the findings from their three-year project Task Types in Mathematics Learning … . This book underlines the value of research-designed and collaboratively-developed mathematics tasks. … this book will be very widely read, and that the tasks found here, and others like them, will be able to benefit many more students of mathematics.” (Colin Foster, Research in Mathematics Education, Vol. 15 (3), 2013)
