<p>This K through 8 methods book clearly links the teaching theories and techniques it proscribes to the most current NCTM <i>Principles and Standards for School Mathematics.</i> Skillfully blending theory and practice, these authors focus reader attention on understanding the underpinnings of the mathematics they will be teaching, while at the same time showing them how to create an environment that supports children's learning and encourages children to reason, make connections, and solve problems. Activities, problems for solution, videos, and a succession of valuable “links” throughout the chapters actively involve future teachers in the same type of learning their students will be doing. This book provides a strong emphasis on the middle school that significantly expands the book's applicability. It covers ways to interact with children while doing mathematics and ensures future teachers begin their careers with a firm grounding in expected knowledge and a thorough understanding of evaluation criteria. For professionals in the field of teaching.</p>
