‘The book is very easy to follow, with practical, research-based strategies for the teacher to use. It also provides insight to better remediate students who are struggling.’
-Allen Stevens, Math/Science Teacher Mooresville Middle School, NC
‘The ′Precautions and Pitfalls′ section is such a welcome feature! This is a powerful book for beginning teachers or seasoned teachers who want to improve their practice to ensure student learning.’
-Rhonda Naylor, Math Teacher/Coordinator Campus Middle School, Englewood, CO
‘The research and vignettes that follow each strategy clearly support why the strategy is important and how it can be effective.’
-Trish Guinee, Mathematics Coordinator Peoria Public Schools, IL
Facilitate learning in Pre K-5 mathematics and maximize student achievement with research-based teaching strategies!
This easy-to-navigate guide offers research-based teaching strategies for introducing prekindergarten and elementary school students to the content and skills recommended by the NCTM principles and standards for mathematics. Using the popular format of the What Successful Teachers Do books, the authors present 47 dynamic learning activities, each including:
- A concise statement of the teaching strategy
- Research-based validations for the strategy
- How the strategy aligns with NCTM standards
- Grade-specific classroom applications and vignettes
- Precautions and possible pitfalls
- Primary sources for further reading
This insightful resource allows teachers to increase students′ confidence in math-and their enthusiasm-with practical and engaging activities, while responding effectively to NCTM standards.
