Summary
This K-8, math methods text stresses learner centered meaningful understanding of math concepts before rushing to symbol manipulation. The authors limit historical and theoretical discussions to present clear and succinct practical ideas, strategies, and activities for teaching. Pedagogical links include applied references to the NCTM standards, video presentations of practicing classroom teachers, and an interactive companion website. The text is a manageable length; concise but thorough, presenting key ideas through sample problems and the activity models. NCTM 2000 sampler automatically shrinkwrapped to text beginning in July 2000.
