Becoming a Successful Teacher of Mathematics

Becoming a Successful Teacher of Maths is a practical guide for newly qualified teachers of secondary mathematics. It develops the essential core knowledge, skills and understanding demanded by the new DfEE requirements for courses of initial teacher training. It is based on research findings relating to the organisation and management of maths classrooms, teaching approaches, assessment and the common misconceptions which often hinder pupils' progress in key areas of the National Curriculum. Theoretical principles are exemplified through case-study material. Suggestions for school-based activities are made. While being a practical 'how to' guide for beginning teachers, it also offers critical insights for more experienced teachers reflecting on their practice.

ALFONSINA STORNI was an important poet and writer in Latin America during the 20th century. Born in Switzerland and raised in Argentina, she was a major force in the Modernist and feminist movements there. Sonia Harrison Jones was awarded a Canada Council grant to research Storni's publications in Buenos Aires, where she combed through libraries and archives, and also interviewed most of the writers, poets, and critics who had known her. Dr Jones presents her life and works in a lively, pleasing style, and provides thoughtful, valuable new insights into Storni's turbulent life and expressive poems, plays, and short novels.  WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:   "It is remarkable that this book, written in 1979, was still a best seller on Amazon in 2003." -Claudia Edith Mendez, PhD thesis, University of Maryland   "Sonia Jones is one of the pioneering scholars in bringing attention to the importance of Storni's contribution to the feminist movement." -Celia Garzón-Arrabal, "The Theater of Alfonsina Storni: Feminism and Innovation" ProQuest, 2008 (PhD thesis, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)  This is one of four books on the reading list for Latin American Women's Poetry at Cambridge, Dept of Spanish and Portuguese, Faculty of Modern & Medieval Languages.

This is a collection of articles from Sonia Jones's humor column called "Life Ever Laughing," orinally published in "The Banner" magazine.  The topics range from warbling church mice to operatic moose calls, and from chaos on the farm to wild roosters running amok in the Dutch countryside.    But life also has its darker side.  There are some poignant stories about a grieving linguistics professor, a plucky Russian expatriate in Paris, and a dog that sniffs out his owner's cancer.  There is also a longer piece at the end of the book about the author's own struggle to save her baby's life.    What critics say about other books by the same author:    "[She] has a born teacher's eye for the well-chosen example... Indeed, the best things in ["It All Began With Daisy"] are its author's good humor and genuine charity of spirit."  -- Robert Coleman, New York Times    "A colorful parade of well-drawn characters and comic-tragic events.   -- Jennifer Henderson, Financial Post

It is always a pleasure and a very great honor for an author to be invited to write a regular column for a respected publication with a wide and loyal readership.  Such is The Banner, the denominational magazine of the Christian Reformed Church.  When erstwhile editor-in-chief John Suk told me he was looking for some material that was both humorous and poignant, I jumped at the opportunity.  I hoped to provide my readers with stories that would make them chuckle over their morning coffee and also give them something to think about as they went about their daily business.  Eight years have gone by now since the column's inception, so it seemed to me that it was high time to gather the stories together between two covers.   So here it is - a collection of topics ranging from warbling church mice to operatic moose calls, and from chaos on the farm to wild roosters running amok in the Dutch countryside.    But life has its darker side, too.  You will come across poignant stories such as the one about a grieving linguistics professor, or a dog who sniffs out his owner's cancer.  There is also a longer piece at the end of the book about my own daughter's brush with death.    It is my hope that you will take comfort in the knowledge that the tears will eventually be wiped away, and life at last will truly be ever-laughing.  I have changed the names of some of the characters to protect the privacy of the individuals who populate these true stories - with the notable exception of Obadiah Kelly, who is already so famous that it's useless to try to hide his identity.  I'll bet you didn't know that his name is on your lips almost every day.  Read on!  There is much to learn.
