More DescriptionExploring Mathematics: Investigations for Elementary School Teachers is a text designed to give readers a highly conceptual understanding of mathematics topics essential for elementary school teaching. The body of material presented was assembled though considerable experimentation and collaboration among the authors over the past ten years.Using a ‘less is more’ approach, this book’s basic philosophy centers on the idea that the learning of mathematics takes time and is best learned from multiple viewpoints and engaging problems. To meet this goal, the development of mathematical reasoning is introduced primarily through the use of manipulatives, models and visual aids for problem solving. The practical, field-tested, in-depth material and activities found in Exploring Mathematics makes this an ideal text for an upper-division mathematics course that serves as a culminating experience for elementary school teachers.
