Praise from Reviewers

“Of all the textbooks I review on teaching both middle and secondary math methods, [Dan Brahier’s] is the best. I like his examples, the way he follows NCTM standards, and how he [keeps] up to date with trends in mathematics education.” —Ann M. Rule, St. Louis University

In this extensively revised third edition of Teaching Secondary and Middle School Mathematics, scholar and classroom teacher Daniel Brahier presents concise, current, and meaningful descriptions of what it takes to be an effective teacher of mathematics. With up-to-date research, classroom-tested teaching ideas, and a vibrant writing style, this book provides essential information on curriculum, teaching, and assessment issues related to middle/secondary mathematics. Every chapter includes a contextualizing introduction, scenarios and dialogues for student reflection, recommended resources for further study, and closing activities and discussion questions to cement chapter concepts.
