This book was provided by Joanne Matekanski (sp?) during a mathematics workshop circa 1996. Our district had an emphasis on higher-level mathematics at the time. This was my introduction, I believe, to Marilyn Burns. I very much enjoyed this book. It presented mathematics and what students are expected to know at the fourth grade level. As a then beginning teacher, this was invaluable to me.
