An Excellent Book.

Well researched and documented. Bibliography and references are very helpful. A great book for novices and experienced teachers alike.

How to teach math to community college students

This book has been a tremendous help to me to identify some of the problem areas on my teaching. Mistakes I have made in the past with ideas about why I made them and how to avoid them. I am new to teaching math but not to teaching in general and the thoughts laid out in this book can be applied to most any field of teaching.I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone teaching in a community college. You have the widest and most difficult range of students in the education business, but they are all there to learn. Do whatever you can to make your efforts effective!I would love to see much of this material presented in a workshop for adjunct faculty.

A fantastic book for the beginning mathematics teacher

The author's focus is on college teaching, but is also readily applicalbe to high school or other secondary teaching. Chapters include fundamentals such as how to lecture and other pedagogical ideas, to extremely practical items such as writing and grading tests and tutoring. Many ideas are presented for immediate adapting/absorbing into your own teaching framework. Being a high school calculus teacher, I was entertained by the glimpse this book provides of a college or university teaching situation. This book is readily available from the American Mathematical Society at ams.org.
