Description: vi, 66 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 24 cm Summary: Members of the Teaching Committee of the Mathematical Association created this book to demonstrate that the skills of spoken language are as important in mathematics as they are in other areas of the curriculum. They prove that learning mathematics is not just a case of mastering concepts and applying rules, but of using (and helping to develop) the same abilities children employ in language. The questions dealt with in this book include:What part does discussion play in the development of mathematical thinking?What are the benefits of children's talking and listening to one another?How can math teaching become more language-based?What is the teacher's role in language-based math?What changes in classroom management and organization are needed for this new style of working?Clearly presented and illustrated in four-color, Math Talk is a very accessible book that deals with a topic of vital current interest among teachers who are taking a hard look at the ways math should be taught and the way children best acquire mathematical literacy. -- amazon.com Subjects: Mathematics -- Study and teaching (Primary) Other Author: Mathematical Association.
