Synopsis

Part of a new generation of textbooks for in-service and pre-service teachers at the junior-senior level, this text teaches in three main ways: it extends students' breadth of knowledge beyond, but related to, the topics covered in elementary and middle-grade curriculums; it increases prospective teachers' depth of mathematical understanding by providing problems rich in exploration and mathematical communication; and it models the most current ways of teaching mathematics.

• Many Section Openers begin with a motivating lesson that introduces a new topic in an understandable, real-world context.
• Exercise Sets at the end of every section provide more traditional practice and are labeled either Proof Exercises or Writing Exercises.
• Exploratory Exercises at the end of every section lead students to investigate topics outside the framework presented in the section. The final exercise in each section is a writing exercise.
