Summary

This combination activity manual and resource handbook provides a two-part learning system for prospective K-6 teachers. It uses activities to help develop a deep and lasting understanding of the mathematical concepts, procedures, and skills that are essential for teaching mathematics to elementary school children. Chapter topics include getting started in learning mathematics via problem solving; numeration; operations on natural numbers, whole numbers and integers; number theory; data and chance; fraction models and operations; real numbers: rationals and irrationals; patterns and functions; geometry; and measurement. For teachers of mathematics at the elementary school level.
