- Elementary Mathematics for
Teachers, (with
Thomas H. Parker) Sefton Ash Publishers,
2004.
This textbook is our effort to construct a mathematics course
for elementary teachers that incorporates Liping Ma's insights
about effective teacher knowledge. It is a mathematics book
designed to set prospective teachers on the road to developing
what Ma termed a ``Profound Understanding of Fundamental
Mathematics.'' We hope that it will appeal to mathematicians
and educators. In fact, mathematicians and math educators are
currently working together on successful courses which use our
textbook.
The course is meant to be taught in mathematics departments,
and is designed to be used in conjunction with the "Primary
Mathematics" elementary school texts from Singapore.
- Elementary Geometry for
Teachers, (with
Thomas H. Parker) Preliminary Edition August 2006
anticipated.
This second semester undergraduate course tells the story of
geometry in K-12 school. Like EMT, it uses the Singapore
textbooks Grades 4--8, which are equivalent to a very
good U.S. 10th grade geometry textbook.
- Introduction to Geometric
Topology, in preparation.
This textbook is a second year graduate course that can be
used before (or concurrently 2nd semester) with a topics
course in Seiberg-Witten theory or the like.
