TEACHING YOUNG CHILDREN MATHEMATICS

Book ID/图书代码： 05410008B21060

English Summary/英文概要： Children learn mathematics most effectively in contexts that are meaningful to them. In order to realize the potential of these contexts for fostering young children’s mathematical learning, knowledge of mathematics as well as child development is the way to nurture and challenge children’s thinking. Avoiding the debates surrounding "hands-on" vs. learning vs. direct instruction, the author focuses on the value of different contexts for learning and illustrates ways to genuinely engage children as active learners. The work is rich with examples of children’s interactions with each other and with adults as they utilize and extend their understanding of mathematics. Examples and guidelines for developing lessons and activities will be useful to educators and parents. Chapters explore how we underestimate young children’s mathematical capabilities; how appropriate sequencing of learning and building on prior knowledge will enhance understanding; what teachers, including parent-teachers, need to know; and high-stakes testing. This is a work that brings together the connections between knowing the basics and constructing knowledge in accessible and practical ways.
