Performance-Based Curriculum for Mathematics: From Knowing to Showing - Paperback

by Helen L. Burz (Author), Kit Marshall (Author)

Take your students far beyond the traditions of accumulating knowledge and basic skills--teach them to account for their education by demonstrating measurable learning performance in meaningful ways.

Based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NTCM) standards, this framework for a math curriculum will help you develop a performance-based program for your mathematics classes. The authors provide

• Performance benchmarks to assess progress at Grades 3,5,8, and 12
• Guides for customizing math instruction toward meaningful application and demonstration of knowledge
• Templates and reproducible masters to customize so your students can "show what they know"
• Technology connections to apply measurable learning techniques to computer-aided classrooms

Burz and Marshall include real-world applications, multiple-problem-solving strategies--including ways to help students learn how to show what they know--and other curriculum requirements for your restructured classroom.

Burz and Marshall have clarified the NCTM standards and they′ve made it easy for you to translate them into workable performance-based curricula. This unique model for mathematics will help take your teaching--and your students′ learning--all the way From Knowing to Showing.
