    About this ebook

    The authors are Gerald Rising and Ray Patenaude. The publisher is William R. Parks: wrparks.com
    There are about 12,500 new math teachers who enter school classrooms each year. This is the audience for Letters to a Young Math Teacher. It is designed to help these young men and women who have chosen an important and demanding profession to meet the real world of the school and classroom.
    Author, Gerald Rising stated, “What we have written in Letters To A Young Math Teacher is not a methods text. It is instead designed, separately from such texts, to assist the neophyte teacher as he or she enters the real world of the schools based on our own experiences in urban, rural and suburban schools and my additional decades of work with math teachers.”
    “Contemporary methods texts do not address these problems. Instead they talk about the interpretation of mathematics content and the application of psychological principles to the design of instruction.”
    “Student teaching only partly makes up for this. The organization and discipline of the classroom is that of the sponsoring teacher. And the teaching is mid-year, not at the more difficult time of school opening.”
    Letters To A Young Math Teacher is modeled on E.O. Wilson's bestseller, Letters to a Young Scientist. While its target audience is different, its format is very similar.

      May 18, 2022

      I didn’t love reading at all when I was young. As a teacher, I loved it, and now as a reader, I love it. But I was put off the whole idea of words very early on. Some years ago, I was made to do a key stage 2 (seven to 11 years old) English test. I d
