Mathematics and Technology in Elementary Education (2ND)

Mathematics and Technology in Elementary Education combines knowledge-based mathematical content, foundational pedagogy, and research-based methods for teaching and learning. The material helps pre-service and novice K-6 educators learn how to teach mathematics for conceptual understanding. The book explores K-6 mathematics and enables readers to benefit from directly experiencing how intended curriculum is implemented and enacted in the classroom. They are first introduced to general pedagogy, the pre-K–6 mathematics curriculum, and pedagogy specific to mathematics. Additional chapters provide readers with lesson plan templates, discuss the assessment of mathematics, and provide strategies for classroom management. Closing chapters offer resources for teaching mathematics and select examples of Pre-K–6 mathematics content. The second edition includes new material on how to write feedback and comments, as well as new and improved figures on operation and algebraic thinking, and intended and enacted curriculum. Designed to help ground teachers in best practices for meeting the needs of today's students, Mathematics and Technology in Elementary Education is ideal for courses in mathematics methodology or in-service courses for elementary educators.
