Description:
Natl Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Reston, VA, 2000. Soft Cover. First edition, VG+ lg. format, 402pp, color illustrated text is bright, clean and fresh-in NF cond.
This book has a reasonable basic outlook, which includes such things as emphasis on conceptual understanding, discovery and empathic discussion rather than drill and teacher-authority. But on the whole the book is very poorly written. For one thing, virtually everything it says is completely vacuous, as one can see by inverting the trivial statements that it makes. Consider for example the following passage:
"By learning problem solving in mathematics, students should acquire ways of thinking, habits of persistence and curiosity, and confidence in unfamiliar situations that will serve them well outside the mathematics classroom. In everyday life and in the workplace, being a good problem solver can lead to great advantages."
