John Mason

Algebra har alltid representert et vannskille for elever som lærer matematikk. Denne boka vil gjøre deg i stand til å tenke på deg selv som en som lærer algebra på en ny måte. Du vil bli bedre på å undervise algebra, overvinne vanskeligheter, og bygge på ferdigheter som alle elever har. Boka er basert på prinsipper for undervisning som har blitt utviklet av teamet ved «The Open University.s Centre for Mathematics Education» som har 20 års erfaring med innovative fremgangsmåter for under.visning og læring av algebra. Boka er skrevet for lærere som arbeider med elever i alderen 7.16 år, og inneholder mengder av opp.gaver som kan omarbeides til bruk i din egen under.visning. Oppgavene diskuterer prinsipper som lærere har funnet nyttige når de har forberedt og gjennomført undervisning. Boka er en ressurs matematikklærere «må ha», enten de underviser på barne.skolen eller ungdoms.skolen. Alle som ønsker å skape forståelse for og entusiasme omkring algebra, basert på forskning og god praksis, vil like boka.

"It's never your typical day at the office when Michael Jackson attends a meeting in person, headphones on his ears and a Walkman in his hands. Little did I know then that he was listening to the first demos for what would become Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad..." Most lawyers aren't like John Mason. Then again, most lawyers don't do what he does. For decades, John Mason has been a confidante, meditator, gladiator and last line of defense for some of the most visible (and talented) artists in the world; from Brian Wilson and Roy Orbison, to Reba McEntire and the Jackson Five, to Quincy Jones, Shakira, and his dear friend of over forty years, Olivia Newton-John. In Crazy Lucky, he tells their stories from his perspective, and shows us what it means to truly have someone's back. A butcher's son with humble origins, John Mason was a talented guitar player in his own right before choosing to become lawyer. Since then, he has guided his clients through devastating business bumps and craters, multi-million dollar lawsuits, divorces, child custody issues, and stalkers, while also helping to navigate breakdowns, illness, physical and mental abuse, and a wide variety of legal issues with not just hundreds of millions of dollars, but careers, on the line. Many (if not most) entertainment lawyers work through managers and agents to help celebrities achieve specific goals. Mason, on the other hand, serves as a lynchpin to his clients' inner circle, a steady presence in what is often a privileged, but harrowing lifestyle. Crazy Lucky is a career retrospective packed with never before heard stories. A rollicking journey for anyone interested in entertainment history, Crazy Lucky shows what it takes to represent the interests of some of the biggest names in the world, in critical, career-defining moments.
