Building on the recommendations of the NCTM's Principles and Standards , this work provides guidance in teaching content and developing processes for students in middle and high school, integrating an emphasis on mathematical modeling with various other teaching methods. After an overview of the contemporary context for teaching mathematics, the bulk of the book deals with the content and processes found in major areas of the curriculum. Concluding material deals with organizing the classroom, assessing students, and other pedagogical issues. Readers are assumed to have a mathematical preparation similar to that required for teacher certification. Dossey is professor emeritus at Illinois State University. Annotation c.
