Practical help for all involved in teaching mathematics in grades 7-13.
Content Area Mathematics for Secondary Teachers:
The Problem Solver
Allen P. Cook, Associate Dean, School of Education, University of Bridgeport and Natalia Romalis, Professor of Mathematics and Chair of the Mathematics Department, University of Bridgeport

Here you get fundamental mathematical content needed for secondary teaching in the areas of general properties of real numbers, group and fields, geometry, trigonometry, functions, vectors, conic sections, statistics, calculus, linear algebra, and discrete mathematics. The authors provide numerous challenging problems, along with relevant content summaries for the mathematics you need to know in order to teach grades seven through 13. The many rich problems provide a review of classical topics that teachers need to know and there's a concise, but rigorous review for state mandated licensing exams. It's ideal for candidates for licensing in secondary/middle school mathematics for reviewing content materials for national exams, secondary school teachers interested in rich content materials or in designing materials for lesson plans and units, teacher educators for their courses, workshop organizers, mathematics teachers, and university instructors.
