Springer - Tasks in Primary Mathematics Teacher Education

Improve mathematics instruction with Tasks in Primary Mathematics Teacher Education, published by Springer. This volume addresses the essential need for advanced research and innovative international practices in the preparation and professional development of mathematics teachers. Developed from discussions at the ICMI study on teacher professional development, this book focuses specifically on primary and elementary teachers. It gathers wisdom from diverse experiences around the world to provide a global perspective on teaching methods. By examining the choice of tasks and associated pedagogies, this text explores how these elements serve as key aspects of teaching and learning mathematics. It provides a deep look at how what students learn is largely defined by the tasks they engage with, making it a necessary resource for educators and researchers looking to enhance teacher training and classroom effectiveness.
