Assessing Teacher, Classroom, and School Effects: A Special Issue of the Peabody Journal of Education

Assessing Teacher, Classroom, and School Effects: A Special Issue of the Peabody Journal of EducationIn this article, we argue that too much previous research has tended to assess the effects of student, classroom, and school variables in isolation from other variables and has often used statistical techniques that ignored the nested nature of the 3 classes of factors. We then argue that a more educationally oriented framework should be used to assess the effects of various student, classroom/teacher, and school variables on student learning, particularly student learning gains, and we identify several variables within each class of factors that research so far has identified.

Key to Algebra, Book 2: Variables, Terms and ExpressionsKey to Algebra, Book 2: Variables, Terms and Expressions

Key to Algebra was developed with the belief that anyone can learn basic algebra if the subject is presented in a friendly, non-threatening manner and someone is available to help when needed. Some teachers use Key to Algebra as the basic text for individualized algebra course, while others use it as a supplement to their regular hardbound text.
Key to Algebra shouldn’t replace group exploration of concepts, cooperative problem or class discussions.

A First Course in Probability: SOLUTIONS MANUAL (7th Edition)A First Course in Probability: SOLUTIONS MANUAL (7th Edition)

This introduction presents the mathematical theory of probability for readers in the fields of engineering and the sciences who possess knowledge of elementary calculus. Presents new examples and exercises throughout. Offers a new section that presents an elegant way of computing the moments of random variables defined as the number of events that occur. Gives applications to binomial, hypergeometric, and negative hypergeometric random variables, as well as random variables resulting from coupon collecting and match models.

Do the Math: Secrets, Lies, and Algebra

Tess loves math because it's the one subject she can trust—there's always just one right answer, and it never changes. But then she starts algebra and is introduced to those pesky and mysterious variables, which seem to be everywhere in eighth grade. When even your friends and parents can be variables, how in the world do you find out the right answers to the really important questions, like what to do about a boy you like or whom to tell when someone's done something really bad?

Will Tess's life ever stop changing long enough for her to figure it all out?

Lessons for Algebraic Thinking: Grades 3-5Lessons for Algebraic Thinking: Grades 3-5

The lessons in this book build the foundation that prepares students for studying algebra in middle and high school. Incorporating manipulative materials, children's books, and problem-solving investigations, lessons actively engage students in creating, recognizing, describing, and extending patterns, and representing patterns with words, tables, variables, and graphs. Lessons also introduce students to solving equations and plotting points.
