Book Synopsis Oral Storytelling & Teaching Mathematics by : Michael Schiro
Download or read book Oral Storytelling & Teaching Mathematics written by Michael Schiro. This book was released on 2004. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oral Storytelling and Teaching Mathematics contains two case studies of teachers telling epic oral stories to teach math to elementary and middle school students. The book also includes theoretical discussions of essential elements of oral storytelling, multicultural education, how oral storytelling can help children who have difficulty learning mathematics, and mathematical problem solving. This book significantly extends two pedagogical movements that have recently influenced mathematics teaching: the use of physical manipulatives and visual imagery and the use of children's literature. It takes a giant leap in leaving behind the written word for oral language and integrating serious mathematical explorations with fantasy.

Book Synopsis The Truth about Stories by : Thomas King
Download or read book The Truth about Stories written by Thomas King. This book was released on 2003. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2003 Trillium Book Award "Stories are wondrous things," award-winning author and scholar Thomas King declares in his 2003 CBC Massey Lectures. "And they are dangerous." Beginning with a traditional Native oral story, King weaves his way through literature and history, religion and politics, popular culture and social protest, gracefully elucidating North America's relationship with its Native peoples. Native culture has deep ties to storytelling, and yet no other North American culture has been the subject of more erroneous stories. The Indian of fact, as King says, bears little resemblance to the literary Indian, the dying Indian, the construct so powerfully and often destructively projected by White North America. With keen perception and wit, King illustrates that stories are the key to, and only hope for, human understanding. He compels us to listen well.

Book Synopsis Teaching Secondary School Mathematics Through Storytelling by : Chandra Balakrishnan
Download or read book Teaching Secondary School Mathematics Through Storytelling written by Chandra Balakrishnan. This book was released on 2009. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has long been understood that stories can be used to teach elementary and middle school students mathematical ideas. The objective of this research was to examine how stories can be integrated into mathematics instruction at the secondary level. As a cognitive tool, story can play an especially significant role in engaging studentsś imaginations. Nine separate studies were conducted to examine w hat effect different types of stories have on student learning and to provide mathematics instructors with an array of examples of how stories can be used at the high school level.
