For courses in undergraduate Elementary and Middle School Mathematics Education

With an emphasis on inquiry and process, Teaching Mathematics in Elementary and Middle School embraces active mathematics instruction and the development of mathematical thinking through problem solving.  The text challenges future teachers to prepare their K-8 students for a world that requires a higher level of mathematical literacy and enables them to compete in a global society. Teachers will develop their own mathematical abilities allowing them to help students discover a rich combination of thinking processes and problem-solving strategies, raising the learning expectations for all.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"...I feel that this text is indeed excellent. It does a very comprehensive job of blending theory and practice, and continually links its discussions to the classroom. It is indeed one of the better (if not the best) text that I have seen for this particular set of students. As a contrast to many texts on the market, it has some unique strengths in its conversational style and interactive approach, as well as its use of manipulatives and `real-world' activities. It also deals with topics in a very practical and interesting manner." Dr. Neal Grandgenett University of Nebraska at Omaha "This text combines multiple classroom examples with excellent explanations of development of student understanding of mathematics concepts." Dr. Walter Ryan Indiana University SouthEast "This text gives very specific learning struggles that are not addressed in general math texts. The examples paint real children with real struggles that are diagnosed with very clear and easy to understand how to resolve these struggles. I found the Tables at the end of each chapter very helpful in showing how to assist students in their struggles with specific concepts." Dr. Yolanda De La Cruz Arizona State University "I like a text book which integrates the theoretical and practical. The author truly does this with his/her numerous examples and lesson profiles. The lesson discussions truly added to the flavor of the text and enabled the author to make strong process points and support them with everyday examples of teaching to those processes. This section of the text is very strong and unique." Dr. John Hinton Hofstra University "The author's assertions are backed by sound research and presented in very reader-friendly formats. The classroom scenarios capture wonderful images of real classroom situations. The opportunities for reflection will help make the text and the course much richer for students." Dr. William O. Lacefield, III Mercer University
