Math for God’s Glory

February 20, 2011 Posted by

Math for God’s Glory surveys mathematics in the Bible. Its goal is to provide a doctrinal basis for mathematics. This provides a firm foundation for each branch of mathematics in contrast to the false philosophies of mathematics which promote science, logic, math itself, or the human mind as the basis for mathematics. With these false philosophies so prevalent in schools across America, it is important to know and teach the true foundation. The book is inspired by Henry Morris, who did a similar book for the sciences entitled The Biblical Basis of Modern Science.

bAllyn Washington/bwas born and educated in Connecticut, where he also began teaching at Trinity College, his alma mater. He taught at Boise Junior College (now Boise State University) before joining the newly forming Dutchess Community College, in Poughkeepsie, New York, where he began writingiBasic Technical Mathematics/i.p style=margin: 0px; /pp style=margin: 0px;At the time, technical mathematics did not have a text that gave students the math they needed to successfully achieve their goals in the technical mathematics program. Al decided to write a book that specifically aligned itself with the technical programs these students were taking. He wanted his text to be flexible, allowing instructors to teach in ways that would most benefit their students. Through his vision and determination, Allyn Washington created theiTechnical Mathematics/iseries./pp style=margin: 0px; /phr style=width: 100%; height: 2px;p style=margin: 0px; /pp style=margin: 0px;bMario F.

Quantitative Reasoning And the Environment

February 20, 2011 Posted by

An introductory quantitative math book with an environmental theme. The emphasis of this text is on analyzing real environmental information and problems, using mathematics accessible to students with an intermediate algebra background. Students using this text will develop mathematical (and environmental) literacy as they model natural processes using algebraic, graphical and numerical methods, and analyze data quantitatively to assist in objective decision making. The textbook is comprised of 4 principal sections: (1) basic numeracy; (2) function modeling; (3) difference equation modeling, and; (4) elementary statistics. Furthermore, this textbook combines both a reform and traditional approach. Traditional in that each chapter presents introductory material, worked examples, multiple student problems, and solutions to odd exercises. It is reform in that it investigates material through a synthesis of algebraic, graphical, numerical and verbal approaches.

Content Matters: A Disciplinary Literacy Approach to Improving Student

February 20, 2011 Posted by

An authoritative guide for improving teaching, learning, and literacy in content area classroomsThis book introduces teachers to the Disciplinary Literacy instructional framework developed by the Institute for Learning, University of Pittsburgh. Grounded in the Principles of Learning developed by acclaimed educator Lauren Resnick, the framework is designed to prepare students, grades 6 and up, to master the rigorous academic content learning required for college success. Unlike ‘generic’ teaching models, the framework is specifically tailored for each of the content disciplines. Highly practical, the book shows teachers how to integrate literacy development and thinking practices into their routine content instruction, with separate chapters devoted to math, science, history, and English/language arts. The book also shows how school instructional leaders can support teachers in learning and using this instructional approach.Offers an innovative approach for improving literacy, thinking, and content learning in secondary studentsIncludes detailed instructional guidance plus numerous classroom examples of lessons, dialogs, and teaching routinesFeatures chapters on each of the content areas-math, science, language arts, and social sciencesProvides leadership guidance in implementing the methodForeword written by internationally acclaimed educator and cognitive scientist Lauren ResnickForeword (Lauren B.
