Elementary Mathematics Is Anything but Elementary: Content and Methods From A Developmental Perspective
This text has everything that every good mathematics methods course needs to help develop good practitioners of Mathematics in Elementary School."This book is distinctive because of its deliberative integration of mathematics content and pedagogy. … Because I wish for elementary teachers to have strong mathematical content knowledge as well as wide repertories of mathematics teaching methods, I would consider adopting the proposed text."This textbook gives clearer examples of the inquiry technique and not only discusses Behaviorism, Direct Instruction and Constructivism, but compares them. The author does a great job of modeling ways to question and engage students in activities.
