Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally

Praise for Elementary and Middle School Mathematics

This is absolutely the best book on the market. No other book comes close.

-Sandra L. McCune, Stephen F. Austin University

I particularly like the emphasis on doing math more than one way (invented math) and the emphasis on problem solving. There is a wealth of resources and children's books for students to use in their development of concepts.

-Carol Geller, Radford University

This text is not only a valuable tool in making sense of and encouraging the use of mathematics by preservice teachers, but also for those educators already in the field.

-Marilyn Nash, Indiana University South Bend
