Description

THE book for elementary education mathematics content courses! Designed to help prospective teachers of elementary school mathematics learn content beyond the rote level, this text stimulates readers to think beyond just getting the problem right and fosters their development into thoughtful, reflective, self-motivated, life-long learners. It stresses the what and why of elementary school mathematics content. Hints are provided about how to teach the content but this is mostly left to courses and texts that are dedicated to that purpose.The text is organized around the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics' Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. The Standards dictate the basic sections of the text. Within each section, appropriate specific topics are developed, intertwined with technology, problem solving, assessment, equity issues, planning, teaching skills, use of manipulatives, sequencing, and much more. In addition, major focal points of the Standards are emphasized throughout: effective teachers of mathematics should be able to motivate all students to learn, should understand the developmental levels of how children learn, should concentrate on what children need to become active participants in the learning environment, and should be engaged in ongoing investigations of new mathematical concepts and teaching strategies.Mathematics Content for Elementary Teachers is based on several fundamental premises:The focus of mathematics education should be on the process, not the answer.Elementary teachers should know the mathematics content they are teaching, know more than the content they are teaching, and teach from the overflow of knowledge.It is important for teachers to be flexible in allowing students to use different procedures--teaching from the "overflow of knowledge" implies knowing how to do a given operation more than one way and being willing to e

Reviews

"Strengths of the book include its presentation of information, which relieves mathematics anxiety. The activities are meaningful, relevant and make important connections. The book is reader-friendly and invites interaction with the material....also addresses what prospective teachers need to know and be able to teach with confidence....recommended for prospective elementary teachers."
-Teaching Children Mathematics

"...a straightforward, up-to-date look at the major topics of elementary school mathematics....Right on! The average prospective elementary teacher will find this text very usable."
-Charles E. Lamb
Texas A & M University

"This is a well-written, well-organized and cohesive text with an important theme: prospective elementary teachers must not only be able to competently perform the mathematics they will teach, but must genuinely understand the underlying concepts.....As a first edition text, this one is indeed impressive....It fills an important niche."
-Michael Reynolds
Valencia Community College

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
