Overview

Description

This revised edition features activities that can be used to develop, reinforce, and/or apply mathematical concepts. Activities can also be adapted for use with elementary students at a later time. They are closely keyed to the text and are ordered by the topics and skills within each chapter. References to these activities are in the margin of the main text.

Features

Each chapter begins with a quotation from the NCTM Standards to introduce the topic.
Every activity starts with information on the purpose, materials, and grouping required to complete the activity. Many activities also provide tips on getting started, show an example, or offer an extension to make the activity more complex.
A summary at the end of every chapter explains the concepts behind each activity.
Paper manipulatives are included at the end of the manual. These can be cut out and used with the activities.
Numerous activity masters make this a useful book for pre-service and in-service teachers.

New to This Edition

A tighter integration between the Activity Manual and the textbook by Billstein et al. (A Problem Solving Approach to Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers, Tenth Edition) is made possible by call-outs in the main text that direct instructors to specific activities in the Activity Manual. This is ideal for instructors who are integrating the Activity Manual into the course for the first time, as well as for experienced instructors.
Chapter 1, An Introduction to Problem Solving, has been reorganized to put mathematics and problem solving first, followed by an expanded section on exploration with patterns.
Chapter 4, Algebraic Thinking, is new to this edition, and addresses to the greater emphasis on learning and teaching algebra throughout the elementary school curriculum.
Chapter 8, Proportional Reasoning, Percents, and Applications, is a new chapter that will be particularly useful for future middle-school teachers.
Chapter 7, Decimals and Real Number, has been shortened with the introduction of Chapter 8.
Other chapters have been updated to reflect content updates in the textbook by Billstein et al.
