About this product

Product Information

"It is fun to figure out the puzzle of how children go about making sense of mathematics and then how to help teachers help kids."  John A. Van de Walle, Late of Virginia Commonwealth University   This is the philosophy behind Elementary and Middle School Mathematics:  Teaching Developmentally.   John A. Van de Walle wrote this book to help students understand mathematics and become confident in their ability to teach the subject to children in kindergarten through eighth grade.  Although he could not have foreseen the changes in mathematics teaching over the last three decades, he was at the forefront of the movement towards a constructivist view of teaching, or teaching developmentally.  Constructivism says that children construct their own knowledge.  They are not blank slates waiting to absorb whatever the teacher tells them.  Teachers must understand both mathematics itself and how students learn mathematics in order to teach it effectively.    Learning through problem solving is another major theme of this book.  Students solve problems not just to apply mathematics, but also to learn new mathematics.  Effective problems will take into account where students are, the problematic or engaging aspect of the problem must be due to the mathematics that the students are to learn and not be diluted by non-mathematical activities such as cutting or pasting, and the problem must require justifications and explanations for answers and methods.  Learning then becomes an outcome of the problem solving process.    The book also addresses in more detail than any other book on the market the effect that the trends of standards-based education, increased pressure to test, and increased teacher accountability have had on teaching mathematics.  He addresses the 2000 NCTM Standards in depth, in Chapter 1 on Teaching Mathematics in the Era of the NCTM Standards, through the NCTM icon that appears in the margins throughout the text, and in two appendices in the back of the book.  Chapter 5 on Building Assessment into Instruction has also been heavily revised to focus on increased testing pressure, creating more explicit links between objectives and assessment, and including assessments for students with special needs.    Elementary and Middle School Mathematics:  Teaching Developmentally is a book for doing math today-for both students who want to become teachers, and the students they will eventually teach.    New To This Edition:   NEW!  Revises Chapter 5 on assessment-- Discusses increased testing pressure and accountability, adds more information on equitable assessments, creates more explicit links between objectives and assessment, and includes assessments for students with special needs.   NEW!  Updates the Literature Connections feature to remove all out of print children's literature and include more non-fiction, poetry, and other types of readings.   NEW!   Weaves the Focal Points throughout the chapters as well as links them with the Big Ideas feature - Focal Points have also been added to the Appendix.    NEW!   Includes expanded coverage of working with diverse learners.     NEW!  Gives greater emphasis on dealing with math anxiety.

    Gives practical, easy to follow examples to assist in teaching math to students.

    I had read parts of this book for a course and found the information so useful that I decided to get a copy of the entire book for my library. The book talks about how to teach early math concepts (and some advanced skills) so that students can develop into sophisticated math thinkers. It gives practical examples to use to assist students building a crucial math foundation. I believe this book is a "must have" for anyone that has a desire to teach math skills to students in grades K-8.

  • Elementary and Middle School Mathematics

    I love this book. This book uses the problem solving approach to teach mathematics. This is one of the books that I would recommend keeping to use in the classroom. There is also a supplementary workbook (ISBN: 0205583164) that includes black line copies of all the resources in the text book that you can make copies of to use in your classroom. I would purchase BOTH books if you are serious about helping your students learn mathematics!!!

  • Math Textbook

    I like this book because it breaks down teaching math to elementary and middle school students. I am about to enter my senior year of college for teaching elementary and middle school, and I am excited about using this book for instructing students. I believe this will be a great resource for me to use for multiple ways of teaching math skills and will be happy to have it in my library!

  • Accurate Title

    AMAZING Book. You will forever use it in your mathematics classroom. Using it in my college course, and I can already see how helpful it will be.

  • Great transaction, speedy delivery

    This is a great resource for teachers and student teachers who need refreshing or insight into how effectively teach elementary and middle school mathematics. I would buy my textbooks used any day! Recycle, reduce, reuse!
