This fourth book in the Mathematics Recovery series equips teachers with detailed pedagogical knowledge and resources for teaching number to 7 to 11-year olds. Drawing on extensive programs of research, curriculum development, and teacher development, the book offers a coherent, up-to-date approach emphasizing computational fluency and the progressive development of students mathematical sophistication. The book is organized in key domains of number instruction, including structuring numbers 1 to 20, knowledge of number words and numerals, conceptual place value, mental computation, written computation methods, fractions, and early algebraic reasoning.
I had to read this book over the course of the semester for my curriculum class. It was soooo interesting and educational I loved it. Obviously I wouldn't read this book for fun, but because I was forced to take notes and apply the information in it to my assignments I feel like I got a really in depth understanding.
