problem-solving approach to mathematics for elementary school teachers
xviii, 1034, 84, 2, 10 pages : color illustrations ; 29 cm.
Perhaps the largest change for the fourteenth edition is the new feature "Illustrative Mathematics K-8 Student Tasks," which replaces the previous School Book Pages feature. Illustrative Mathematics is a series of open education resources (OER) available online and free to access by anyone. It covers all grades K-12, but we will focus on K-8 content for this book. The content from Illustrative Mathematics is immersive and engaging when implemented in the classroom. In this text, we have extracted elements from the series that focus on activities and student tasks. Students of this text have the opportunity to see what content that elementary and middle school students can actually see in their classrooms. Each section that contains this new feature will also have a block of exercises within the Mathematical Connections portions of the exercise sets that ask students questions around this content. The Activity Manual is all new for this edition. Written by the authors themselves, new classroom-tested activities demonstrate ways to engage students through active learning. Illustrative Mathematics (IM) K-8 Student Tasks replace the School Book Pages from the previous edition. This new content from open educational resources (OER) material is included to show how various topics are introduced to the K-8 pupil. Icons within the text link the narrative to the appropriate IM K-8 Student Task. Students are asked to complete many of the activities on the student pages so they can see what is expected in elementary school.
