Overview

This thorough and practical guide to teaching mathematics for grades K–6 is a perfect combination of a math methods text and resource book for pre-service and in-service elementary school teachers. The text's organization uses the Common Core State Standards as its overarching framework. Over 275 lesson activities reinforce the standards and include many examples of cooperative learning strategies, take-home activities, and activities using technology such as apps. Content chapters first "develop" a math topic, and then "extend" the same topic, providing foundational material that can be used throughout the elementary grades. Other useful features highlight misconceptions often held about math operations and concepts, ways to be inclusive of various cultural backgrounds, and key technology resources. The text is available with MindTap, a customizable online learning experience that guides students to learn concepts and skills critical to becoming a great teacher.

What's New

{{collapseContainerClosed['whats-new'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}

A revised structure aligns with the framework of the Common Core State Standards, which serve as organizing themes for the first seven chapters and provide structure for the content chapters (Chapters 9–19).
Major sections in each chapter are now organized around specific learning objectives that students will attain by mastering the chapter content. The numbered objectives are listed at the beginning of each chapter and aligned with major sections and the chapter summary.
Over 275 classroom-ready lesson activities are now linked to Common Core Content Standards and Mathematical Practices. New activities are included to illustrate how to use apps to support math understanding. All activities can be saved for later use with MindTap® Education.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}

Over 275 classroom-ready lesson activities -- including cooperative learning strategies, take-home activities, and activities using technology such as apps -- are linked to Common Core Content Standards and Mathematical Practices.
"Misconception" features throughout the content chapters highlight common misunderstandings children have about specific math operations and concepts. These features also help pre-teachers clarify and correct their own misconceptions.
The chapter organization reinforces the structure of the Common Core. Within each content chapter, math topics are first "developed" and then "extended," beginning with foundational material that can be used throughout the elementary grades.
Each content chapter includes "CLD Alerts," providing tips to help classroom teachers support culturally and linguistically diverse students.
