Mathematical Connections: A Companion for Teachers
This book is about some of the topics that form the foundations for high school mathematics. It focuses on a closely-knit collection of ideas that are at the intersection of algebra, arithmetic, combinatorics, geometry, and calculus. Most of the ideas are classical: methods for fitting polynomial functions to data, for summing powers of integers, for visualizing the iterates of a function defined on the complex plane, or for obtaining identities among entries in Pascal's triangle.
Poetry for Students is designed specifically to meet the curricular needs of high school and undergraduate college students studying poetry. A quick but information-rich reference source, each volume of Poetry for Students provides analysis of approximately 20 poems that teachers and librarians have identified as the most frequently studied in literature courses.
Sounds Interesting: Resource Material for Teachers
by Alan Maley and Alan Duff
Students are invited to provide a personal interpretation of the sequence of events suggested by a series of sounds.
Sounds Interesting offers an unusual and effective approach to oral work: sounds rather than words or pictures are used as a stimulus for free oral expression. The recording is composed of short sequences of sound, each of which suggests the unfolding of a story or incident. The sequences are open to many different interpretations, and there are no 'correct' solutions.
