Acquisition of Complex Arithmetic Skills and Higher-Order Mathematics Concepts


Book Description

Acquisition of Complex Arithmetic Skills and Higher-Order Mathematics Concepts focuses on typical and atypical learning of complex arithmetic skills and higher-order math concepts. As part of the series Mathematical Cognition and Learning, this volume covers recent advances in the understanding of children's developing competencies with whole-number arithmetic, fractions, and rational numbers. Each chapter covers these topics from multiple perspectives, including genetic disorders, cognition, instruction, and neural networks. - Covers innovative measures and recent methodological advances in mathematical thinking and learning - Contains contributions that improve instruction and education in these domains - Informs policy aimed at increasing the level of mathematical proficiency in the general public







Discovering Higher Mathematics


Book Description

Funded by a National Science Foundation grant, Discovering Higher Mathematics emphasizes four main themes that are essential components of higher mathematics: experimentation, conjecture, proof, and generalization. The text is intended for use in bridge or transition courses designed to prepare students for the abstraction of higher mathematics. Students in these courses have normally completed the calculus sequence and are planning to take advanced mathematics courses such as algebra, analysis and topology. The transition course is taken to prepare students for these courses by introducing them to the processes of conjecture and proof concepts which are typically not emphasized in calculus, but are critical components of advanced courses. * Constructed around four key themes: Experimentation, Conjecture, Proof, and Generalization * Guidelines for effective mathematical thinking, covering a variety of interrelated topics * Numerous problems and exercises designed to reinforce the key themes




Ray's New Primary Arithmetic


Book Description

In 19th century America, Joseph Ray was the McGuffey of arithmetic. His textbooks, used throughout the United States, laid the mathematical foundations for the generations of inventors, engineers and businessmen who would make the nation a world power.







Transition to Higher Mathematics


Book Description

This book is written for students who have taken calculus and want to learn what "real mathematics" is.
