In their Young Mathematicians at Work series, Catherine Twomey Fosnot and Maarten Dolk described Mathematics in the City, an innovative project where... teachers helped young children construct a deep understanding of number and operations in a math workshop environment. Now they and two colleagues from the project have developed a 21st-century approach that provides pre- and inservice teachers with an interactive, video-based, digital context for inquiry into the teaching and learning of mathematics. Designed for workshop participants and preservice teachers, the Addition and Subtraction Minilessons CD-ROM offers users a multi-media learning environment for professional development on topics ranging from instruction to assessment, and that stimulates action, reflection, and discussion with dynamic video clips, children's work samples, and interviews with students and teachers. In Addition and Subtraction Minilessons clips of real teachers conducting effective minilessons in real classrooms show you how these short, focused sessions can build big mathematical thinking in young learners. Users also study teachers at work: designing rich contexts for problem-solving; drawing connections between mathematical ideas and strategies; and developing a vibrant mathematical community.

Additive combinatorics is the theory of counting additive structures in sets. This theory has seen exciting developments and dramatic changes in... direction in recent years thanks to its connections with areas such as number theory, ergodic theory and graph theory. This graduate-level 2006 text will allow students and researchers easy entry into this fascinating field. Here, the authors bring together in a self-contained and systematic manner the many different tools and ideas that are used in the modern theory, presenting them in an accessible, coherent, and intuitively clear manner, and providing immediate applications to problems in additive combinatorics. The power of these tools is well demonstrated in the presentation of recent advances such as Szemerédi's theorem on arithmetic progressions, the Kakeya conjecture and Erdos distance problems, and the developing field of sum-product estimates. The text is supplemented by a large number of exercises and new results.

Additive Manufacturing Technologies: Rapid Prototyping to Direct Digital Manufacturing deals with various aspects of joining materials to form parts.... Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an automated technique for direct conversion of 3D CAD data into physical objects using a variety of approaches. Manufacturers have been using these technologies in order to reduce development cycle times and get their products to the market quicker, more cost effectively, and with added value due to the incorporation of customizable features. Realizing the potential of AM applications, a large number of processes have been developed allowing the use of various materials ranging from plastics to metals for product development. Authors Ian Gibson, David W. Rosen and Brent Stucker explain these issues, as well as: Providing a comprehensive overview of AM technologies plus descriptions of support technologies like software systems and post-processing approaches Discussing the wide variety of new and emerging applications like micro-scale AM, medical applications, direct write electronics and Direct Digital Manufacturing of end-use components Introducing systematic solutions for process selection and design for AM Additive Manufacturing Technologies: Rapid Prototyping to Direct Digital Manufacturing is the perfect book for researchers, students, practicing engineers, entrepreneurs, and manufacturing industry professionals interested in additive manufacturing.    

Additive Schooling in Subtractive Times documents the unusually successful efforts of one New York City high school to educate Dominican immigrant... youth, at a time when Latino immigrants constitute a growing and vulnerable population in the nation's secondary schools. Based on four and a half years of qualitative research, the book examines the schooling of teens in the Dominican Republic, the social and linguistic challenges the immigrant teens face in Washington Heights, and how Gregorio Luperon High School works with the community to respond to those challenges. The staff at Luperon see their students as emergent bilinguals and adhere to a culturally and linguistically additive approach. After offering a history of the school's formation, the authors detail the ways in which federal No Child Left Behind policies, New York State accountability measures, and New York City's educational reforms under Mayor Bloomberg have complicated the school's efforts. The book then describes the dynamic bilingual pedagogical approach adopted within the school to help students develop academic Spanish and English. Focusing on the lives of twenty immigrant youth, Bartlett and Garcia also show that, although the school achieves high completion rates, the graduating students nevertheless face difficult postsecondary educational and work environments that too often consign them to the ranks of the working poor.

To prevent and resolve common behavior problems in young children, early childhood teachers need a full understanding of what s behind the behaviors and... strategies that really work. This complete professional development package gives pre- and in-service educators the practical help they ve been waiting for. Taking a big picture approach to this critical topic, this book-and-CD set illuminates the diverse influences on challenging behavior including temperament, preferences, home life, and peer relationships and arms teachers with the tools they need to create powerful solutions. Building on up to date research and their experience in early childhood education, the expert authors show teachers how to improve behavior by ensuring a safe classroom environment where all children feel welcome, designing physical spaces that support learning and positive interactions, and using a developmentally appropriate curriculum that also meets individual student needs. Implements daily routines and activities that keep children engaged. Changes negative perceptions of children through knowledge of temperament differences. Responding consistently and constructively to behavior challenges, using verbal and nonverbal communication to strengthen bonds with children, and improve interactions with families and other professionals. Address common behavior concerns during drop off time, free play, naptime, cleanup time, small group activities, whole group learning, transitions, and waiting periods. Going beyond one size fits all strategies, this resource empowers teachers to assess their students specific needs and choose the solutions that will work best. Educators will get more than 60 tools and worksheets filled-in samples in the book and blank printable versions on the CD-ROM that help them analyze their current practices, collect information about the child s behavior and temperament, build stronger relationships with parents, and much more. With this hands on guide to classroom harmony, teachers will provide positive, customized behavior support to young children with and without disabilities and ensure that all students stay safe, engaged, and ready to learn.

This engaging book helps readers move beyond one-dimensional conceptualizations of identity to an understanding of the complex, overlapping cultural... influences that form each of us. Pamela Hays' "ADDRESSING" framework enables therapists to better recognize and understand cultural influences as a multidimensional combination of Age, Developmental and acquired Disabilities, Religion, Ethnicity, Socioeconomic status, Sexual orientation, Indigenous heritage, Native origin, and Gender. Unlike other books on therapy with diverse clients, which tend to focus on working with one particular ethnic group, Addressing Cultural Complexities in Practice presents a framework that can be used with a person of any cultural identity. This second edition has been updated throughout and has new sections on cross-cultural assessment of trauma, on psychotherapy with people living in poverty, and on ethical boundaries and complex relationships in rural and minority communities. A special section describes how to integrate cultural considerations into the evidence-based practice of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Organized according to the flow of clinical work (in contrast to the one chapter-per-group approach), the book's contents are summarized in handy Key Tables at the end of each chapter for ease of use in education and supervision. This stimulating book will be an important resource for counselors, clinicians, and mental health professionals working with clients from a variety of backgrounds.
