This fully updated third edition looks at the fundamentals of mathematics teaching, how to plan lessons and assess learning, and how to promote an inclusive approach in the classroom. Key new features include: Updated content reflecting: the 2014 National Curriculum in England, the Teachers′ Standards and revised requirements for GCSE and A level mathematics Updated ′Evidence from research′ features, highlighting developments in the field An expanded section on mathematical misconceptions New coverage on teaching for mastery.

High throughput instruments and analysis techniques are required in order to make good use of the genomic sequences that have recently become available for many species, including humans. These instruments and methods must work with tens of thousands of genes simultaneously, and must be able to identify the small subsets of those genes that are implicated in the observed phenotypes, or, for instance, in responses to therapies. Microarrays represent one such high throughput method, which continue to find increasingly broad application. This project has improved microarray technology in several important areas. First, we developed the hyperspectral scanner, which has discovered and diagnosed numerous flaws in techniques broadly employed by microarray researchers. Second, we used a series of statistically designed experiments to identify and correct errors in our microarray data to dramatically improve the accuracy, precision, and repeatability of the microarray gene expression data. Third, our research developed new informatics techniques to identify genes with significantly different expression levels. Finally, natural language processing techniques were applied to improve our ability to make use of online literature annotating the important genes. In combination, this research has improved the reliability and precision of laboratory methods and instruments, while also enabling substantially faster analysis and discovery.

This report summarizes the development of new biocompatible self-assembly procedures enabling the immobilization of genetically engineered cells in a compact, self-sustaining, remotely addressable sensor platform. We used evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) to immobilize cells within periodic silica nanostructures, characterized by unimodal pore sizes and pore connectivity, that can be patterned using ink-jet printing or photo patterning. We constructed cell lines for the expression of fluorescent proteins and induced reporter protein expression in immobilized cells. We investigated the role of the abiotic/biotic interface during cell-mediated self-assembly of synthetic materials.

Quais os principais desafios dos professores ao ensinar matemática para adolescentes? Melhorar o desempenho em sala de aula, contribuir para desenvolver o raciocínio dos alunos e motivá-los a participar ativamente das atividades são alguns dos mais difíceis. Neste livro, Paul Chambers e Robert Timlin mostram como preparar planos de aula, como fazer um bom uso de recursos e como avaliar o progresso dos alunos efetivamente. Com um foco prático, os autores propõem atividades para professores iniciantes e experientes e trazem, a cada capítulo, orientações sobre como se tornar um profissional reflexivo, abordando desde o ensino da matemática até o desenvolvimento de uma formação profissional continuada.
