Elementary mathematics specialists are teacher leaders who are responsible for supporting effective PK-6 mathematics instruction and student learning. The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE), the Association of State Supervisors of Mathematics, the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics, and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, in a 2010 joint position paper on Elementary Mathematics Specialists (EMSs), all advocate for the use of EMSs to support the teaching and learning of mathematics. The specific roles and expectations of EMSs will vary according to the needs of each setting, "but their expertise and successful experience at the elementary level is critical" (p 1). Elementary Mathematics Specialists: Developing, Refining, and Examining Programs that Support Mathematics Teaching and Learning is AMTE's latest resource supporting the important work of EMSs. It has five sections related to the preparation and professional development of EMSs: (a) Overview and Current State of Affairs; (b) Models of EMS Program Development & Delivery; (c) Supporting EMSs in the Field; (d) The Mathematics Specialist Research; and (e) Future Directions. The book provides support to EMS practitioners, program providers/developers, and researchers seeking to answer important questions about how to prepare Mathematics Specialists, support them in the field, and research their effectiveness.

To share is a process that involves complex cognitive and emotional skills. To be able to share, the child must be able to understand that objects exist and belong to him even when he does not see them and be able to put himself in the other's shoes. With the identification through illustrations, the child understands how to enjoy shared games, enhancing these moments and highlighting the fun in doing what they like best. We help the children to find solutions that can mediate their needs with those of others, without this necessarily implying a renunciation. In this way, we manage their ability to think about a solution strategy, and to respect the needs of the other.
