Overview

Mathematics for Elementary and Middle School Teachers, 6th Edition fosters a deep understanding of mathematics that will help you become a more effective math teacher, and connects the foundations of K-8 mathematics to the "why" behind procedures and formulas. Known for her many contributions to mathematics education, Sybilla Beckmann helps future teachers explain why the standard procedures and formulas of elementary and middle school mathematics are valid, why nonstandard methods can also be valid, and more. Chapters are designed to help you understand how mathematical ideas develop across grade levels. The text also addresses the K-8 CCSS for Mathematical Content from a teacher's perspective.
