As of today all PDF versions of books published by the National Academies Press will be downloadable to anyone free of charge. This includes a current catalog of more than 4,000 books plus future reports produced by the Press. The mission of the National Academies Press (NAP) -- publisher for the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council -- is to disseminate the institutions' content as widely as possible while maintaining financial sustainability.To download the PDFs, you will have to register for a free account. Some of the books have a video or podcast associated with them, so don't forget to look closely at the product pages for additional content.
The following is a list of books that I thought would be of interest to math teachers and educators:
- Incentives and Test-Based Accountability in Education (2011 pre-publication)
- The Teacher Development Continuum in the United States and China: Summary of a Workshop (2010)
Here's a video to go along with the book
- Learning and Understanding: Improving Advanced Study of Mathematics and Science in U.S. High Schools (2002)
- Helping Children Learn Mathematics (2002)
- Measuring Up: Prototypes for Mathematics Assessment (1993)
- On the Shoulders of Giants: New Approaches to Numeracy (1990)
- How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition (2000)
- How People Learn:Bridging Research and Practice (1999)
- Getting Value Out of Value-Added: Report of a Workshop (2010)
- Mathematics Learning in Early Childhood: Paths Toward Excellence and Equity (2009)
