Written by a national consultant in mathematics instruction and assessment, this book puts expertise in teachers' hands with friendly text and clear examples of how to teach in ways that will lay a foundation of mathematics success for students. The author supplies background information for teaching in each key area of mathematics, including how each concept looks at upper and lower grades. This resource also offers educators supplementary lessons to strengthen their skills in the critical areas of mathematics instruction, no matter what primary resources they are using for instruction.

Industry Reviews

"Putting together a book for teachers that contains 'tried and tested' lessons created by award-winning educators is very important and useful. The activities can be used to help students understand the reason for the algorithms. Students should not just learn 'how,' but also 'why.'" -- Carrie Chiappetta, Math Teacher
"This is a much needed resource book for both inservice and preservice teachers." -- Helen Melvin, Second-Grade Teacher
"The activities presented provide a foundation that allows an elementary school teacher to make sense out of the mathematics being taught. The book will appeal to teachers because the lessons begin at a very basic level but methodically progress to a higher level of mathematical thinking." -- Joyce Dodd, Sixth-Grade Math Teacher
"The author has successfully created a resource book for teachers that accomplishes the goal of 'more discovery and more connections between topics' for mathematics classrooms, which will result in more student engagement. This book will be a valuable resource to new teachers looking for appropriate lessons tied to curriculum standards, veteran teachers looking for new ideas for content-specific activities, and college instructors of preservice and inservice teachers." -- MAA Reviews, February 2008
