  • 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.
