Facilitating mathematical investigations with teachers will help improve their teaching! National and state standards suggest that mathematical investigation, problem solving, and exploratory learning should play a central role in mathematics lessons. It is therefore necessary for teachers to experience mathematical explorations as learners themselves. This Facilitator Guide and accompanying CD-ROM provides resources for planning and implementing courses and workshops using Ways to Think About Mathematics by containing: Commentary on the activities Pedagogical suggestions (materials sequencing, promoting active participation, adapting to the needs of particular teachers) Additional reading and problems tied to the content of the main text Sample solutions for all problems and discussion questions
