Description

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 and 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, understand the developmental levels of how children learn, concentrate on what children need to become active participants in the learning environment, and be engaged in ongoing investigations of new mathematical concepts and teaching strategies.
