Teaching Mathematics Competently

Competency orientation is the central new element of the educational standards that have been introduced in recent years in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. However, in teaching practice, competency orientation has often not yet been realized due to a lack of concrete ideas for implementation. What exactly is competency-oriented mathematics instruction? What new approaches arise from this for the planning and execution of mathematics lessons? In addition to fundamental considerations, the book contains a wealth of materials that are particularly suitable for self-study or further training. These include tasks for self-experience, video recordings on the accompanying CD-ROM, and lesson plans. All materials provide a variety of prompts to reflect on one's own perception of teaching and personal goals.
