About this title

From the Back Cover:

Help all Pre-K-8 learners make sense of math

Written by leaders in the field, Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally helps teacher candidates develop a real understanding of the mathematics they will teach and the most effective methods of teaching Pre-K-8 math topics. This text reflects the Common Core State Standards and NCTM’s Principles to Actions, as well as current research. Emphasis is placed on teaching math conceptually, in a problem-based, developmentally appropriate manner that supports the learning needs of all students. Pause and Reflect prompts and Activities engage pre-service teachers as they bolster their own knowledge of the math. Classroom videos and examples of real student work allow teacher candidates to visualize good mathematics instruction and assessment. An important reference to consult throughout a teaching career, this book helps teachers and their students experience the excitement that happens when math makes sense.

 

Invigorate learning with the Enhanced Pearson eText
This access code card provides access to the new Enhanced Pearson eText, a rich, interactive learning environment designed to improve student mastery of content with the following multimedia features:

• Embedded videos of mathematics teaching, learning, and assessing illustrate authentic, effective, teaching and assessment practices. Videos expand the topics presented in the text, and can be viewed independently or as a full class.
• Embedded Self-Checks with feedback to give readers a chance to test their knowledge of each section and chapter. The Self-Checks also increase student interactivity as they read.
• Activity Sheets and Blackline Masters are just a click away, making it even easier for instructors and students to use the Activities in the book. These classroom-ready handouts can be used in a methods class or school settings.

• Expanded Lessons focus on concepts central to elementary and middle school mathematics and include NCTM and CCSSO grade-level recommendations, adaptation suggestions for English language learners (ELLs) and students with special needs, and formative assessment suggestions. Every chapter in Section II has at least one Expanded Lesson linked to an Activity.

About the Author:

John A. Van de Walle was a professor emeritus at Virginia Commonwealth University. He was a leader in mathematics education who regularly offered professional development workshops for K–8 teachers in the United States and Canada focused on mathematics instruction that engaged students in mathematical reasoning and problem solving. He visited many classrooms and worked with teachers to implement student-centered math lessons. He co-authored the Scott Foresman-Addison Wesley Mathematics K–6 series and contributed to the original Pearson School mathematics program enVisionMATH. Additionally, John was very active in the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), writing book chapters and journal articles, serving on the board of directors, chairing the educational materials committee, and speaking at national and regional meetings.
