Part one covers the foundations and perspectives of teaching mathematics. The fundamental core of effective teaching of mathematics combines an understanding of how students learn, how to promote that learning by teaching through problem-solving, and how to plan for and assess that learning daily. Part two covers teaching student-centred mathematics. These chapters apply the core ideas of Part I to the content taught in K-8 mathematics. Clear discussions are provided for how to teach the topic, what a learning progression for that topic might be, and what worthwhile tasks look like.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This text illustrates how children learn mathematics, and then shows pre-service teachers the most effective methods of teaching PreK-8 math through hands-on, problem-based activities.
