Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally
A Message from the AuthorResearch in mathematics education has consistently found that understanding and skills are best developed when students are allowed to wrestle with new ideas, to create and defend solutions to problems, and to participate in a mathematical community of learners.  This student-centered, problem-based approach to learning is a central theme of this book. Learning how best to help children believe that mathematics makes sense and that they themselves can make sense of mathematics is an exciting endeavor and a lifelong process.  It requires the knowledge gained from research, the wisdom shared by professional colleagues, and the insightful ideas that come from your own daily experiences with students.  I hope that this book will assist you on this fantastic journey.Praise for Elementary and Middle School MathematicsThis is absolutely the best book on the market. No other book comes close.
