Description: Teaching Mathematics in grades 6-12 by Randall E. Groth is a core methods text that introduces students to the vibrant and intriguing world of mathematics education. The author shows preservice mathematics teachers the value of being a "researcher"--constantly experimenting with methods for developing students' mathematical thinking--and connecting this research to practices that enhance students' understanding of the types of mathematical knowledge students bring to school and how students' thinking may develop in response to different teaching strategies.
