Description:

Future elementary and middle schoolnbsp;teachers need a clear, coherent presentation of the mathematical concepts, procedures, and processes they will be called upon to teach. This text uniquely balanceswhatthey will teach (concepts and content) withhowto teach (processes and communication). As a result, students usingMathematics for Elementary School Teachersleave the course knowing more than basic math skills; they developnbsp;a deep understanding of concepts that enables them to effectively teach others. This Fourth Edition features an increased focus on the big ideas of mathematics, as well as the individual skills upon which those ideas are built.
