Synopsis

Enhance your classroom experience with this Student Activities Manual. This manual is designed to accompany Mathematics for Elementary Teachers: A Contemporary Approach, 7^th Edition. It will enhance student learning as well as begin to model effective classroom practices. Since many instructors are working with students to create a personalized journal, this edition of the manual is three-hole punched for easy customization.

When students truly understand the mathematical concepts, it’s magic. Students who use Mathematics for Elementary Teachers: A Contemporary Approach are motivated to learn mathematics. They become more confident and are better able to appreciate the beauty and excitement of the mathematical world.

That's why the new Seventh Edition of Musser, Burger, and Peterson's best-selling textbook focuses on one primary goal: helping students develop a true understanding of central concepts using solid mathematical content in an accessible and appealing format. The components in this complete learning program--from the textbook, to the eManipulative activities, to the online problem-solving tools and the resource-rich website--work in harmony to help achieve this goal.

About this title

From the Publisher

This leading text covers all the essential mathematics students need for teaching at the elementary and middle school levels. Among its key strengths are its richness in problem- solving strategies, integrity and flow of mathematics, relevance of topics and extensive pedagogy and problem sets. Unlike similar texts that follow a typical "math majors progression," this text follows the progression of elementary school math curricula considered more suitable for elementary teachers. Another noteworthy feature is the text's emphasis on the NCTM standards; not only does it incorporate the standards in problem sets and discussion, it teaches students the relevance of the standards and how they reflect current research in mathematics.
