Reviews

Fundamentals of Calculus for Teachers provides valuable insights for introducing key calculus concepts to students before they experience formulas. This fosters their conceptual knowledge, helping them make connections and encouraging a productive disposition toward mathematics. The book also focuses on current technologies such as Desmos and GeoGebra--free and readily accessible to all teachers and students--which aid in reinforcing key calculus concepts."Shannon Driskell, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics EducationDepartment of MathematicsUniversity of Dayton
"Fundamentals of Calculus for Teachers should be the required textbook for all preservice middle level mathematics teachers in the U.S. Dr. Dustin Jones' approach explicitly aligns the key concepts from calculus with their related topics in the middle school curriculum, allowing preservice teachers to readily see the salient connections. What makes this textbook particularly unique is the way that various modes of technology are weaved throughout the course in the form of inquiry-based tasks to support the conceptual understanding of calculus. I taught two semesters of a calculus for teachers course using the draft of this textbook, and I highly recommend it!"Jackie Murawska, Ed.D. STEM Instructional CoachSkokie/Morton Grove School District 69
"Fundamentals of Calculus for Teachers by Dustin Jones fills a much-needed gap in middle school mathematics teachers' content knowledge. It provides a deep conceptual development of fundamental calculus ideas and ties them to aspects of the middle school mathematics curriculum. More importantly, the textbooks uses mathematical technology such as Desmos and GeoGebra to aid students in their conceptual development. I have used draft versions of this book for the past four years and have been very happy with it."Dr. Mark KlespisSam Houston State University
