In this all-too-common scenario, young learners often miss the chance to develop skills—specifically, reasoning skills—that can serve them for a lifetime. The elegant pages of\u003cem\u003e Teaching Mathematical Reasoning in Secondary School Classrooms\u003c\/em\u003e propose a more positive solution by presenting a reasoning- and discussion-based approach to teaching mathematics, emphasizing the connections between ideas, or \u003cem\u003ewhy \u003c\/em\u003emath works. The teachers whose work forms the basis of the book create a powerful record of methods, interactions, and decisions (including dealing with challenges and impasses) involving this elusive topic. And because this approach shifts the locus of authority from the instructor to mathematics itself, students gain a system of knowledge that they can apply not only to discrete tasks relating to numbers, but also to the larger world of people and the humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sampling of the topics covered:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhole-class discussion methods for teaching mathematics reasoning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearning mathematical reasoning through tasks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeaching mathematics using the five strands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassroom strategies for promoting mathematical reasoning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximizing student contributions in the classroom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOvercoming student resistance to mathematical conversations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTeaching Mathematical Reasoning in Secondary School Classrooms\u003c\/em\u003e makes a wealth of cutting-edge strategies available to mathematics teachers and teacher educators.
