Adams is an educational consultant in Canada; Hamm teaches science
and math education at San Francisco State U. They offer teachers a wide
range of creative ways to build on the social nature of learning to
engage both reluctant and eager learners in science and mathematics
lessons, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels. The
text includes discussion about helping all students learn science and
math; student inquiry in science and math; a general overview of
collaborative learning; differentiated instruction; collaborative
inquiry and active involvement in science lessons; mathematical
reasoning and collaborative problem solving; project-based learning
projects, thematic units, and collaboration; and using technology to
meet the different needs and learning styles of students. Sample
activities are incorporated throughout the text. No subject index.
