Catalyzing Change in Early Childhood and Elementary Mathematics: Initiating Critical Conversations

by DeAnn Huinker (Editor)

Catalyzing Change in Early Childhood and Elementary Mathematics is part of the Catalyzing Change Series , a collection of three books intended to initiate the critical conversations on policies, practices, and issues that impact mathematics education. In 2018, the first book in the series, Catalyzing Change in High School Initiating Critical Conversations , was published. The work initiated by that book suggested a need to broaden the critical conversations to include early childhood, elementary, and middle school mathematics. For example, the recommendation for a common shared pathway in high school mathematics must take into consideration what must happen in early childhood and elementary mathematics for a common shared pathway to become a reality in middle and high school mathematics. Catalyzing Change in Early Childhood and Elementary Initiating Critical Conversations recognizes that the strengths and needs of young children must be considered when addressing the continuity and alignment of mathematics education for this student group. It also identifies and addresses the critical conversations necessary to meet the following critical

A great overview of the best practices for teaching math in early childhood and elementary. I was hoping for specific strategies and methods to implement.
