Guiding children's learning of mathematics

This thorough and practical guide to teaching kindergarten through sixth grade level mathematics is a perfect combination of a math methods text and resource book for the pre-service and in-service elementary school teacher. The text's organization uses the NCTM standards as its overarching framework; a rich variety of chapter activities reinforces the standards, and includes many examples of cooperative learning strategies. Content chapters first "develop" a math topic, and then "extend" the same topic, thus providing foundational material for primary grades and even more appropriate material for upper elementary and intermediate grades. Other useful features highlight misconceptions often held about math operations and concepts, ways to be inclusive of various cultural backgrounds, findings from key research in mathematics, and key technology resources.
