Mathematics","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhy is cross-curricular work so valuable in the mathematics classroom?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy can pupils sometimes draw graphs in mathematics but not in science?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat might mathematics teachers learn from the performing arts?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCross-curricular approaches have much to offer the modern mathematics classroom. They can help teachers to present mathematics as a growing, relevant discipline that is central to much of modern life, and help learners to make sense of what they are doing and why. New contexts, new technology and new qualifications all make this an exciting time to be a cross-curricular teacher of mathematics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut cross-curricular approaches are not always straightforward. Skills do not always transfer easily from one subject area to the other, and a number of important decisions have to be made. How should this type of work be planned, or assessed? How might it fit into the wider curriculum? Are all cross-curricular activities equally useful for learners? Does mathematics have something to share with all of the other curriculum areas?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book tackles these issues head on, combining educational theory and contemporary research with practical ideas and suggestions. From the mathematics of molecular geometry, wind turbines and impact craters to mathematical haikus, Babylonian clay tablets and juggling, each chapter is packed with examples for use in the secondary classroom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey features include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiscussion of key issues and debates\u003cbr\u003eCase studies to show you how others have used cross-curricular approaches\u003cbr\u003eA wide range of examples and practical activities to help you develop your own practice\u003cbr\u003eExample approaches for planning and assessment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart of the \u003cem\u003eCross-Curricular Teaching and Learning in the Secondary School\u003c\/em\u003e series, this book is essential reading for all students on Initial Teacher Training courses and practising teachers looking to holistically introduce cross-curricular themes and practices into their mathematics teaching.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54225659855192,"sku":"9780415572033","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415572033.jpg?v=1769235338","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/cross-curricular-teaching-and-learning-in-the-secondary-school-mathematics","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
