Concept Mapping in Mathematics: Research into Practice is the first comprehensive book on concept mapping in mathematics. It provides the reader with an understanding of how the meta-cognitive tool, namely, hierarchical concept maps,and the process of concept mapping can be used innovatively and strategicallyto improve planning, teaching, learning, and assessment at different educational levels. This collection of research articles examines the usefulness of concept maps in the educational setting, with applications and examples ranging from primary grade classrooms through secondary mathematics to pre-service teacher education, undergraduate mathematics and post-graduate mathematics education. A second meta-cognitive tool, called vee diagrams, is also critically examined by two authors, particularly its value in improving mathematical problemsolving. Offers first look at concept mapping in mathematics education Includes foremost authors in the field of concept mapping Provides research based applications for a variety of educational levels, ranging from primary to graduate level Presents a pedagogical application of concept mapping informed by research INDICE: From the contents Foreword.- Introduction.- The Development and Evolution of the Concept Mapping Tool Leading to a New Model for Education.- Analysing the ‘Measurement’ Strand Using Concept Maps and Vee Diagrams.- Concept Mapping as a Means To Develop and Assess Conceptual Understanding in Primary Mathematics Teacher Education.- Using Concept Maps and Vee Diagrams To Pedagogically Analyse the ‘Fractions’ Strand in Primary Mathematics.- Concept Maps as Learning and Assessment Tools in Primary Classrooms.- Teaching Mathematical Proportionalities In Secondary Mathematics Education, Using Concept Mapping.- Concept Mapping as a Means To Develop and Assess Conceptual Understanding in Secondary Mathematics Teacher Education.- Concept Mapping a Teaching Sequence andLesson Plan for ‘Derivatives’ Curricular Implications of Concept Mapping in Secondary Mathematics.- Using Concept Maps and Gowin’s Vee to Understand Mathematical Models of Physical Phenomena.
