Teaching Mathematics: A Pedagogical Approach - Hugh Harvey - Bog

Mathematics is an academic subject that involves the study of measurements, numbers and space. The study of mathematics helps in the development of logical reasoning, critical thinking, abstract or spatial thinking, and problem-solving ability. Math pedagogy refers to the ways in which mathematics is taught and learnt. The role of mathematics in education is often explicitly and implicitly reduced to the delivery of the subject matter. This knowledge then has to be selected and made relevant for students using methods imported from psychology, sociology, and educational research. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of mathematics education. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied strategies and pedagogies used for mathematics education. The book will prove to be immensely beneficial for teachers and students of mathematics.
