This text is an unbound, binder-ready edition.Helping Children Learn Mathematics, Tenth Edition reflects the ever changing world of learning and teaching elementary school mathematics. Change is everywhere. Teachers of mathematics in elementary school not only experience change but, more important, also have an opportunity to help lead the way. This edition of Helping Children Learn Mathematics is built around three main themes; helping children make sense of mathematics, incorporating practical experiences and research to guide teaching, and emphasizing major ideas from the 2010 Common Core State Standards: Mathematics.
I'm reading chapter two right now and its description of behaviourism is just completely wrong. It also keeps giving examples of "wrong" ways to do things without actually justifying those judgements or providing examples of the "right" ways to do them instead. Like "rote learning has no place in school mathematics" - well how do you learn to count, add or multiply without rote learning? Serious question; I don't have the first clue, and this book seemingly has no interest in enlightening me.
