Engage your students with rich content in proven mathematical tasks! Promote real understanding of important mathematical concepts Design and enact rich instructional experiences that encourage thinking and reasoning Lessons follow key areas of mathematics featured in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) Mathematically rich and engaging tasks offer excellent opportunities for students to learn what mathematics is and how one does it. Such tasks, however, can often be the most difficult to implement effectively during instruction. Research shows that tasks that promote thinking, reasoning, and problem solving often decline during execution due to a variety of classroom factors. The result is students apply previously learned rules and procedures without learning the connection to meaning and understanding and opportunities for thinking and reasoning are lost. This book, a collection of carefully selected articles from past issues of NCTM journals, includes activities for teachers to use with their students to promote the understanding of the mathematical content. Articles are arranged into content strands and ordered within a strand to promote the development of important areas of mathematics. These key areas are all highlighted in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) as important for students progress in mathematics. Each section of the book highlights articles on a key area of mathematics featured in the CCSSM: rational numbers proportional reasoning numbers number theory patterns and functions linear equations measurement geometry probability and statistics Each article in a section includes mathematical exploration on the focus topic to use with students. Mathematical tasks that provide rich content and engage students allow them to not only understand what they have learned but remember and apply it as well. A valuable resource to any mathematics teacher, this rich collection of mathematical tasks will enliven students engagement in mathematical thinking and reasoning and help them succeed in the classroom.

Why study Economics for BusinessGood economic decision making is fundamental to the success of business Economic decisions lie at the heart of business. Economics is all about the choices between alternatives and how to weigh up their costs and benefits. Studying this book will help you understand such choices and how to make them successfully when you take up a job or perhaps run your own business. Businesses need to make choices of what and how much to produce, what techniques to use, who to employ, what investment to make, where to locate, what markets to develop and how best to compete with rivals. Economics helps them make the right decisions. But making the right decisions depends on the economic environment in which businesses operate. For example, government policy affects business: whether through taxation, subsidies, training and education, regulation or trade policies. The economic environment is also affected by trade relations and the actions of international bodies such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Issues such as Brexit, trade deals and migration crucially affect businesses. The book shows you how. You will be studying all these issues and more in this book. It will give you the skills to advise businesses and other organisations on how best to achieve their objectives. The advice of economists is crucial to good decision making. But to give good advice requires understanding issues and assessing evidence. Studying economics helps to give you this understanding and makes you a better problem solver.
