Description

Misconceptions and incomplete mathematical thinking often go undetected, as teachers are rarely trained to consider why or how an answer was generated. They often respond to incorrect answers by re-teaching the correct processes, and the underlying problem persists. Unrecognized misconceptions then become permanent ways of thinking; each new layer of mathematics knowledge builds upon on flawed foundations. This book addresses that problem head on. By covering the essential content or "big ideas" of K-2 mathematics, it turns elementary teachers into experts in diagnosis, intervention, and evaluation, and delivers the tasks and tools to use in the classroom day-to-day.
