Teaching Secondary and Middle School Mathematics
Teaching secondary and middle school mathematics has never been more exciting
than it is today. The Common Core State Standards, released in 2010, as well as
Principles and Standards for School Mathematics by the National Council of
Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) in 2000 both promoted a comprehensive
mathematics curriculum for all students, rooted in signifi cant research on how
students learn mathematics and the role of technology in the teaching and learning
process. In 2007, NCTM released the second edition of its teaching standards
document, now entitled Mathematics Teaching Today. Meanwhile, the ongoing
Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study has resulted in the most
comprehensive international comparisons of mathematics education that have
ever been conducted.
In the midst of all of the reform efforts that have been put in motion, it is
important that teacher candidates and inservice teachers investigate the nature of
the mathematics curriculum and refl ect on research-based “best practices” as they
defi ne and sharpen their own personal styles. The format of the fourth edition of
Teaching Secondary and Middle School Mathematics is designed to provide the
reader with the total picture of the multifaceted art of teaching.
