Review: "Understanding mathematics is different from understanding how to teach mathematics, and this book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in mathematics in grades 3 to 5. It not only provides clear descriptions of the main ideas in intermediate mathematics, but also how those main ideas progress from Kindergarten through the end of fifth grade. -- Matthew Reames "Mathematics Educator, Curry School of Education,"
