This book shows how creative math can really work. Exploring the ways in which math skills can be learned through cross-curicular activities based on visual arts and music, the book presents math as a meaningful and exciting subject which holds no fear for children. The authors recognize that while math-phobia prevails, attitudes and approaches to teaching the subject need to be reviewed, and issues such as gender stereotyping need to be tackled at an early stage. These classroom-based stories include detailed examples of integrative mathematic projects.

This volume belongs in the library of everyone who teaches or studies composition theory.... This collection...,drawn from three decades of musings and reflections, demands the attention of anyone seriously interested in teaching writing.
With Writing without Teachers (OUP 1975) and Writing with Power (OUP 1995) Peter Elbow revolutionized the teaching of writing. His process method--and its now commonplace "free writing" techniques--liberated generations of students and teachers from the emphasis on formal principles of grammar that had dominated composition pedagogy.
This new collection of essays brings together the best of Elbow's writing since the publication of Embracing Contraries in 1987. The volume includes sections on voice, the experience of writing, teaching, and evaluation. Implicit throughout is Elbow's commitment to humanizing the profession, and his continued emphasis on the importance of binary thinking and nonadversarial argument. The result is a compendium of a master teacher's thought on the relation between good pedagogy and good writing; it is sure to be of interest to all professional teachers of writing, and will be a valuable book for use in composition courses at all levels.
