About this title

Synopsis:

Book by Reys, Robert E., Suydam, Marilyn N., Lindquist, Mary Montgomery

From the Back Cover:

Strategies, techniques, and activities for the changing mathematics curriculum

Change is everywhere in elementary school mathematics––from new technology to changes driven by the federal No Child Left Behind act of 2001 and the landmark Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (2000). As a teacher of elementary school mathematics, you will experience these changes first–hand and have an opportunity to help lead the way.

Written by four experts in the field, Helping Children Learn Mathematics, 8th Edition is an up–to–date, balanced, and practical guide to current recommendations and practices for elementary school mathematics education. You’ll learn how to help children make sense of mathematics, use research to guide your teaching, and incorporate the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics in your classroom. 

Features of the 8th Edition:

• Includes a stronger emphasis on helping diverse learners learn mathematics.
• Snapshot of a Lesson chapter–openers present part of an actual mathematics lesson. Video clips support many of the snapshots.
• Excerpts from the Standards and Expectations from the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics are highlighted throughout this book, and Appendix A reproduces the Standards and Expectations in their entirety.
• In the Classroom Activities illustrate the kinds of activities you can use with children in relation to the topics of each chapter.
• Cultural Connections sections highlight differences in the mathematical experiences and mathematical performance of students from different countries.
• Mathlinks point the way to the Web as a source for additional knowledge for the teacher and mathematical activities to use with children.
• Appendix B provides paper models for hands–on materials needed for many activity–based math lessons in elementary classrooms.
