Winning the Math Homework Challenge
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-4758-2971-6 (ISBN)
This book focuses more on the “why” behind math relationships, explained in plain English and through images that show mathematical relationships. The ability to recognize connections among math topics significantly reduces the confusion and frustration that can accompany math homework. By including more images and fewer formulas, readers — especially the visual-spatial learners — are better equipped to understand how math concepts connect to each other. Finding and understanding these connections will allow parents to find their own “math mojo” and to pass on that legacy to their child.
Catheryne Draper has been learning from her students for over half a century of teaching, supervising the math program in a school district, advising math education at the state level, coaching math in schools, and presenting math workshops for teachers. She is the creator of The Algebra Game, a hands-on multi-level algebra program that allows students to work together in cooperative groups or individually to identify the algebra relationships and patterns within the each topic and to connect concepts across the topics.
