Summary

The Field Experience Guide,a supplement to Elementary and Middle School Mathematics, 8th Edition, is for observation, practicum, and student teaching experiences at the elementary and middle school levels. The guidebook contains three parts: Part I provides tasks for preservice teachers to do in the field; Part II provides three types of activities: Expanded Lessons, Mathematics Activities, and Balanced Assessment Tasks. Part III of this guide contains a full set of reproducible Blackline Masters referenced in the 8th edition of Elementary and Middle School Mathematicsas well as additional Blackline Masters for use with the Expanded Lessons in Part II. A convenient Field Experience Guide Connectionssection at the end of each chapter in the 8th Edition will help you better integrate the information from the text with the Field Experience Guideto support with your work in schools.
