"This alternative textbook on teaching mathematics asks teachers and prospective teachers to reflect on their relationships with mathematics and how these relationships influence their teaching and the experiences of their students. Applicable to all levels of schooling, the book covers basic topics such as planning and assessment, classroom management, and organization of classroom experiences. It also introduces novel approaches, such as psychoanalytic perspectives and post-modern conceptions of curriculum. Traditional methods-of-teaching issues are recast, provoking new ideas for making mathematics education meaningful to both teachers and their students. Coauthored by a university professor and several practicing elementary, middle, and high school mathematics teachers, this text is a collaboration across all educational levels, making it ideal for teacher discussion groups K-16." "Embracing Mathematics is intended as a methods text for undergraduate- and master's level mathematics education courses and more specialized graduate courses on mathematics education, and as a resource for teacher discussion groups."--BOOK JACKET.
