This best-selling text helps students make sense of mathematics and become confident in their ability to teach mathematics to children K to 8. It thoroughly discusses the new NCTM Standards and clearly develops four key aspects of teaching mathematics-the nature of mathematics as a science of pattern and order; an understanding of how children learn mathematics; a problem solving view of teaching mathematics; and specific methods for integrating assessment with instruction. The 16 content chapters reflect the view that all mathematics can be taught through a problem-solving approach that motivates students and builds their confidence as they learn. Elementary and Middle School Mathematics includes an astonishing wealth of activities, as well as the pedagogical features developed in previous editions.
