This popular text promotes a learner-centered approach to teaching elementary and middle school mathematics. It provides valuable research-based instructional strategies, resources, and activities to help teachers evaluate how children think mathematically and how to link that knowledge to developmentally appropriate teaching practice. With its strong focus on Common Core Standards and analyzing children's work to meet the individual needs of students, the book helps ensure that all students and teachers can be successful with math.

Features new to the Sixth Edition include:

• NEW! Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are integrated throughout the book to help students learn the relevance of the standards for each chapter topic.
• NEW! New examples of children's work help students examine actual children's in relation to the chapter topics.
• UPDATED Internet links presented throughout the book help students connect with high quality online teaching resources for each chapter topic. (Ch. 11)
• NEW! The new e-book format offers easy access for students, and the ability to readily access, in one click, additional resources, such as videos and children's work samples.
• EXPANDED videos of children and classrooms helps students apply and connect what they're learning about teaching with real children and real classrooms. (Ch.7)
• EXPANDED "In Practice" features link samples of children's work with plans for effective instruction.
• UPDATED research on mathematics teaching and learning appears throughout.

Using Common Core State Standards and authentic videos and examples of students' work, this resource illustrates and encourages a learner-centered approach to instruction.
