E-Books →Mathematical Imagining A Routine for Secondary Classrooms

So begins the journey that Christof Weber takes you on in Mathematical Imagining. Along the way, he makes the case that the ability to imagine, manipulate, and explain mathematical images and situations is fundamental to all mathematics and particularly important to higher level study. Most importantly, drawing on years of experiments in his own classroom, Weber shows that mathematical imagining is a skill that can be taught efficiently and effectively.
Mathematical Imagining describes an original routine that gives students space and time to imagine a mathematical situation and then revise, discuss, and act upon the mental images they create. You can use this creative routine to glimpse into your students' thinking and discover teaching opportunities, while empowering them to create their own mathematics.
Inside you'll find the following:
an introduction to the routine including the rationale behind it, facilitation guidance, and classroom examples
modifications to implement the routine in your classroom, even with varying time constraints
37 exercises broken into four categories: constructions, problem-solving, reasoning, and paradoxes
discussions of the mathematics involved in each exercise, including possible follow-up questions
instructions on how to create your own exercises beyond the book
