In our efforts to reform mathematics education, we've learned a tremendous amount about young students' strategies and the ways they construct knowledge, without fully understanding how to support such development over time. The Dutch do. So, funded by the National Science Foundation and ExxonMobil, Mathematics in the City was begun, a collaborative inservice project that pooled the best thinking from both countries. In Young Mathematicians at Work, Catherine Fosnot and Maarten Dolk reveal what they learned after several years of intensive study in numerous urban classrooms.
In this third volume in a series of three, Fosnot and Dolk focus on how children in grades 5-8 construct their knowledge of fractions, decimals, and percents. Their book:
describes and illustrates what it means to do and learn mathematics.
contrasts word problems with true problematic situations which support and enhance investigation and inquiry.
provides strategies to help teachers turn their classrooms into math workshops.
explores the cultural and historical development of fractions, decimals, and their equivalents and the ways in which children develop similar ideas and strategies.
defines and gives examples of modeling, noting the importance of context.
discusses calculation using number sense and the role of algorithms in computation instruction.
describes how to strengthen performance and portfolio assessment.
focuses on teachers as learners by encouraging them to see themselves as mathematicians.

This combined text and workbook covers the theories and principles of Dewey Decimal Classification and then offers readers immediate practice in putting the information to use. Plentiful, clear explanations, examples and practice exercises illustrate every aspect of Dewey Decimal Classification and help students master creating DDC numbers. The book also includes a new chapter on WebDewey; a glossary that defines technical terms in simple language; and an index. It is an easy to use study tool for all library students and library staff who need to be familiar with at least the basics.
¿Unlike other materials available for learning the DDC, this book combines workbook with instructional text. As such, the student can refer to it beyond the course. It can profitably supplement other texts in cataloging and classification, and also serve as a review of the developments¿ of the DDC.¿
Library Collections, Acquisitions and Technical Services review of the previous edition ¿It provides an easy and friendly approach to the learning of the DDC without assuming any prior knowledge on the part of its users. This being a complete guide and the DDC being used internationally, this workbook will be useful in any library/library school anywhere in the world. It is a welcome addition to the practical manuals on the DDC.¿

Since her professional education in the Universities of Sydney and New South Wales, Mary has worked in libraries in Australia, Papua New Guinea and Britain in many capacities. She is a director of DocMatrix Pty Limited in Canberra, Australia, which publishes workbooks to help librarians and assistants develop the practical skills they need in the workplace. These books have been modified for libraries in Southeast Asia, South America and North America. Mary has also developed interactive multimedia programs for librarians, and organizes in-service training for library assistants. She has taught Dewey Decimal Classification to library paraprofessionals and professionals, including staff of the National Library of Australia, and in doing so has refined her explanations and examples.

NUMBER POWER 2: FRACTIONS, DECIMALS, AND PERCENTS Straightforward calculating and problem solving with fractions, decimals, and percents.
About this product: Ever since its evolution in 1876, Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) has been the world's most widely used library classification system. It is expected from all professionals, paraprofessionals, and library students to at least have a working knowledge of cataloguing basics, particularly the DDC, owing to its extensive application in almost all the Indian libraries. In this respect, the present book is the most appropriate as it skilfully acquaints the readers with this system, which is the simplest scheme of coordinating the titles on the same subject and on related subjects by using a combination of letters and numbers and thereby facilitating location of books on the shelves of library. The present book is highly recommended for professionals and paraprofessionals seeking professional development, students wanting to supplement their courses with practical applications and library schools offering distance learning courses in cataloguing. Students and teachers of Library Science will particularly find this book useful.
About this product: These practical, classroom-tested lessons develop students' understanding of decimals and percents and help them ease the transition to middle school math. Through a series of engaging explorations, students learn to relate decimals to fractions; represent, read, and interpret decimal numerals; compare decimal numerals; and relate percents to fractions and decimals.
