About this title

Synopsis

Filled with over 100 inquiry-based activities, Activities for Mathematical Thinking addresses the changing ways in which students learn and teachers teach mathematics. The emphasis is on hands-on learning and an inductive, rather than deductive, approach to mathematics. Organized in 11 sections, activities range from understanding number systems to developing geometric thinking to exploring part-whole relationships. While diverse in content and complexity, all activities emphasize inquiry and process and include recommended grade levels as well as NCTM process and content standards. Worksheets and handouts are provided in the back of the workbook to help support many of the activities.
