The Zeroing in on Number and Operations series, which aligns with the Common Core State Standards and the NCTM Standards and Focal Points, features easy-to-use tools for teaching key concepts in number and operations and for addressing common misconceptions. Sharing the insights they’ve gained from decades of mathematics teaching and research, Linda Dacey and Anne Collins help you focus on what students really need to know and understand at each grade level. Each book in the series, which is organized by grade level, provides thirty research-based, classroom-tested modules that zero in on the key mathematical strategies and concepts essential for that grade level, while highlighting the importance of teacher language in the development of those skills.
The spiral-bound flipchart format makes it easy to access the important sections in each module, including:
• summaries that identify the mathematical focus and its associated challenges and misconceptions;
• instructional strategies and activities that develop conceptual understanding and computation skills;
• activities and ideas for adjusting activities to meet individual needs―an indispensable resource for implementing Response to Intervention strategies;
• reproducibles for instructional use; and
• resources for further reading.

"Teachers of young children will find a wealth of meaningful activities in these books that support a standards-based approach to developing mathematical understanding." - Teaching Children Mathematics
Linda Dacey, professor of mathematics and education at Lesley University, began her career teaching at the elementary level and early in her career, received an NSF grant to develop a model program for preparing middle school teachers. She works with pre-service and in-service teachers, helping them to develop both their content knowledge and their practice. Her commitment to the quality of mathematics education was noted when she was inducted into the Massachusetts Mathematics Educators Hall of Fame. She is a reviewer for NCTM's Teaching Children Mathematics, was guest editor for the recent issue of the New England Mathematics Journal's issue on equity, and a prolific writer of books and resource materials for both teachers and writers. Her research focuses on problem solving, number sense, and strategies for differentiation.
