A concept-rich, skill-based approach to preparing outstanding elementary math teachers

A Problem Solving Approach to Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers  not only helps students learn the math – it provides an invaluable reference to future teachers by including professional development features and discussions of today’s standards. 

Revised throughout to prepare students more effectively for their own classrooms, the 13th Edition gives instructors a variety of approaches to teaching, and encourages discussion and collaboration among students and with their instructors.

This is a great book to get back into the jargon of mathematics after several years. I am enjoying this book so much I read it every night! Hahahaha! :-) Ok, well there is a grade attached to that motivation too, but ah well!

This book is a pretty good resource for elementary teachers. It helped me greatly in the geometry portion of the book. I have a better understanding of geometry and how to do certain geometric functions.

Makes my brain hurt- so simple, yet so complicated. I'm back to thinking about math in my sleep and in the shower. Ha!!!

I did not find this book very helpful...I got more help from a math-pro brother-in-law. Thank heaven for him, because I thought the book was useless.
