This text is a thorough and practical guide to teaching pre-school through sixth grade level mathematics for the pre-service and in-service elementary school teacher. Kennedy, Tipps, and new co-author Art Johnson have perfected a combination math methods/resource book that is consistent with the 2000 National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards.
This is a useful textbook for those who teach mathematics. The textbook provides an overview of a variety of mathematical topics as well as examples, common core state standards, activity samples, and tools to help you ensure that your students succeed.
This is a textbook, but it can be used as a reference book for teachers and math tutors for activity ideas, internet resources, and children's books by topic. It is useful for anyone who teaches children math.
Bonus, I learned that Florence Nightingale designed the first circle graphs.
