Synopsis

This comprehensive teaching resource equips Pre-K through grade 2 educators with specialized pedagogical content knowledge for teaching number and numeration effectively. Authored by Barbara J. Dougherty and Karen S. Karp, this 128-page softcover guide addresses common classroom challenges, from students using imprecise comparative language to difficulties with teen numbers and counting strategies. The book presents research-based strategies and tasks that reveal how young learners reason about numbers, helping teachers identify student understanding and misconceptions. Through practical examples and thoughtful questioning techniques, educators learn to move students forward from counting all to more sophisticated strategies like counting on and counting by tens. This standard edition focuses on big ideas and essential understandings that form the foundation for future mathematical success in both academic and real-world contexts. Published by NCTM in 2019, this English-language resource measures 10 inches by 7 inches and serves as an invaluable tool for mathematics instruction in early childhood education.
