NOTE: This edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. Books a la Carte also offer a great value; this format costs significantly less than a new textbook. Before purchasing, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN. For Books a la Carte editions that include MyLabTM or MasteringTM, several versions may exist for each title-including customized versions for individual schools-and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a Course ID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use MyLab or Mastering platforms.

For courses in Mathematics for Teachers or Mathematics for Future Elementary Teachers.

Fosters reasoning skills, deep conceptual understanding, and a positive attitude to aspiring elementary or middle school teachers

Mathematical Reasoning for Elementary Teachers presents the mathematical content needed for teaching within the context of the elementary classroom. The authors endeavor to answer the frequently asked question "Why are we learning this?" by going beyond skill explanations to show how these concepts are implemented in the future classroom, and what types of questions children may ask. The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics are included.

This Media Update for the 7th Edition features:

• Education Insights video program adapted from teacher education videos, produced with assessment questions, worksheets, and an implementation guide
  
• Common Core in Action videos with assessment questions
  
• Common Core Assessment Analysis questions
  
• GeoGebra animations with assessment questions
  
• Assessment questions for lecture videos
  
• MindSet material.

About our authors

Calvin Long received his B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Idaho. Following M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics from the University of Oregon, he worked briefly as an analyst for the National Security Agency and then joined the faculty at Washington State University. His teaching ran the gamut from elementary algebra through graduate courses and included frequently teaching the content courses for prospective elementary school teachers.

His other professional activities include serving on numerous committees of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Mathematical Association of America, and holding various leadership positions in those organizations. Professor Long has also been heavily engaged in directing and instructing in-service workshops and institutes for teachers at all levels, has given more than 100 presentations at national and regional meetings of NCTM and its affiliated groups, and has presented invited lectures on mathematics education abroad.

Professor Long has co-authored 2 books and is the sole author of a text on number theory. In addition, he has authored over 90 articles on mathematics and mathematics education, and served as a frequent reviewer for mathematics journals including The Arithmetic Teacher and The Mathematics Teacher. In 1986 he received the Faculty Excellence Award in Teaching from Washington State University, and in 1991 he received a Certificate for Meritorious Service to the Mathematical Association of America.

Aside from his professional activities, Cal enjoys listening to, singing and directing classical music, reading, fly fishing, camping and backpacking.

Duane DeTemple received his B.S. with majors in Applied Science and Mathematics from Portland State College. Following his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Stanford University, he was a faculty member at Washington State University, where he is now a Professor Emeritus of Mathematics. He has been extensively involved with teacher preparation and professional development at both the elementary and secondary levels. Professor DeTemple has been a frequent consultant to projects sponsored by the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Higher Education Coordinating Board and other boards and agencies.

Dr. DeTemple has co-authored 4 other books and over 100 articles on mathematics or mathematics materials for the classroom. He is a member of the Washington State University President's Teaching Academy, and in 2007 was the recipient of the WSU Sahlin Faculty Excellence Award for Instruction and the Distinguished Teaching Award of the Pacific Northwest Section of the Mathematical Association of America.

In addition to teaching and research mathematics, Duane enjoys reading, listening to and playing music, hiking, biking, canoeing, traveling and playing tennis.

Richard Millman received a B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. from Cornell University in Mathematics. He is a professor of mathematics and was director of the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics and Computing (CEISMC) at the Georgia Institute of Technology, which supports STEM outreach in K-12. He was formerly the Outreach Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky, where he was involved in both preservice and in-service teacher training for mathematics teachers.

Dr. Millman has co-authored 4 books in mathematics, co-edited 3 others, and received 10 peer-reviewed grants. He has published over 50 articles about mathematics or mathematics education and has taught a wide variety of mathematics and mathematics education courses throughout the undergraduate and graduate curriculum, including those for preservice teachers. He received, with a former student, an Excel Prize for Expository Writing for an article in The Mathematics Teacher and was a Member-at-Large of the Council of the American Mathematical Society. He was principal investigator and project director for ALGEBRA CUBED, a grant from the National Science Foundation to improve algebra education in rural Kentucky. He was the principal investigator of a Race to the Top grant from the Georgia Department of Education and another NSF grant, SLIDER, in which students use a curriculum based on engineering design in the context of building robots to learn 8th-grade physical science and math.

Rich enjoys traveling, writing about mathematics, losing golf balls, listening to music, and going to plays and movies. He also loves and is enormously proud of his grandchildren, with whom he enjoys discussing the conceptual basis of mathematics, among other topics.
