What's happened to the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division you learned in school? And why are your children talking
in math class and sharing answers? In friendly, jargon-free
language, It's Elementary: A Parent's Guide to K-5 Mathematics not
only decodes current teaching practices but also demystifies the
fundamental concepts that your children need to understand to be
successful math learners-and you need to grasp to help them.
Illustrated with numerous examples of real students' classroom
work, It's Elementary shows you how children progress in their
mathematical thinking from simple counting techniques to
sophisticated strategies for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and
dividing whole numbers, integers, fractions, and decimals. You will
discover why- today's teaching emphasizes understanding why a
solution works as well as how to solve the problem; problem solving
produces more confident, creative, and accurate math students than
memorizing formulas does; practice and drills can be great
tools-but only at the right stage of learning; and collaborative
learning-talking and sharing-not only helps children clarify their
own thoughts about math but also introduces them to new ideas and
strategies. Most important, It's Elementary makes you an effective
participant in your children's math education. "Things to Do" at
the end of each chapter offers practical actions and activities,
and a special chapter, "Mathematics at Home," provides advice and
guidance from helping with homework and dealing with math anxiety
to choosing math games and talking to your children about math
beyond homework and school. It's Elementary: A Parent's Guide to
K-5 Mathematics is your all-in-one source for helping you to help
your children be successful-and happy-math students.
