Synopsis
For Mathematics Methods in Elementary School courses.
This K―8 methods text clearly links the teaching theories and techniques it proscribes to the most current NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Based on the premise that mathematics teaching should be child-centered and constructivist, this text explains what children's math thinking might be developmentally and then models typical problems for concept building. Beginning with the problem solving chapter and followed up in subsequent content chapters, this edition provides over 200 activities that can serve future teachers as classroom resources.

From the Back Cover
How can you create a learning environment that supports and encourages children to build understandings, make connections, reason, and solve problems?
This textbook helps prospective teachers learn how to teach mathematics in a way that is child-centered and focused on developing mathematics concepts aligned with the NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Videos that highlight exemplary math teaching, selected from the Annenberg/CPB Teaching Math Series, are free to adopting professors. Key text features identify how the math teachers captured on video weave the teaching of the math process standards―problem solving, representation, communication, reasoning and proof, and connections―into their math lessons.
Features of the third edition include:
- Principles and Standards Links help readers connect the NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics with chapter topics.
- NEW! Additions to chapters 14 and 17 more meaningfully address middle school mathematics concepts.
- Classroom Clips, full-color features integrating the video package, highlight outstanding teachers engaged with children in math classrooms. A NEW video chosen especially for preservice middle school teachers presents an exemplary model for teaching math to adolescents.
- NEW! Technology Links in each chapter look at meaningful website activities for use in the college classroom as well as in elementary and middle school classrooms. Links to each highlighted site can be made directly from our Companion Website at www.prenhall.com/cathcart
- Literature Links throughout chapters connect topics presented in the text to children's books. The Literature Links also include ideas for extension activities readers can use with children to enhance children's understanding of the topic.
