Teaching Mathematics in Grades 6 - 12
Developing Research-Based Instructional Practices

First Edition

A journey into the vibrant and intriguing world of mathematics education



June 2013 | 512 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
Teaching Mathematics in Grades 6 - 12 by Randall E. Groth explores how research in mathematics education can inform teaching practice in grades 6-12. The author shows preservice mathematics teachers the value of being a “researcher—constantly experimenting with methods for developing students’ mathematical thinking—and connecting this research to practices that enhance students’ understanding of the material. Ultimately, pre-service teachers will gain a deeper understanding of the types of mathematical knowledge students bring to school, and how students’ thinking may develop in response to different teaching strategies.

Instructor Teaching Site
The instructor site will include an author-provided test bank, links to web resources listed in the text, and tutorials and grading rubrics for the Lesson Plans featured in chapters 7-11 (Part II) of the text.

Groth's text includes a full coverage of critical topics. It makes excellent connections to research that are accessible to undergraduates. It also illustrates appropriate uses of technology in secondary mathematics teaching. Great book!
