ISBN 0-8013-3253-2
by John A. Van de Walle
Approx. 500 pages, softcover, excellent condition and has my name written on inside cover. Includes blackline masters. The BEST math resource I had in my library.
A book that helps teachers, future teachers, and parents make sense of mathematics and become confident in their ability to teach mathematics to children K to 8. Elementary and Middle School Mathematics consists of 16 chapters reflecting the view that all mathematics can be taught through a problem-solving approach that motivates children and builds their confidence as they learn. This book thoroughly discusses the new standards and clearly develops four key aspects of teaching mathematics: the nature of mathematics as a science of pattern and order; an understanding of how children learn mathematics; a problem solving view of teaching mathematics; and specific methods for integrating assessment with instruction. Simple yet effective classroom activities are woven throughout the chapters as well as suggestions for technology and literature.
