Emphasizing conceptual understanding through the use of models and visuals, this text helps students connect ideas and concepts while providing them with useful methods for teaching math to elementary school children. Mathematics for Elementary Teachers: A Conceptual Approach addresses the NCTM standards by encouraging active student participation through features such as "Math Activities" and "Math Investigations." The "Math Investigations" now appear on the companion website.
The last two editions of the Bennett/Nelson text and activity book have been accompanied by a kit of colored punch-out materials that are commonly used in schools. Now these materials are in the Digital Manipulative Kit and can be conveniently accessed and moved about the screen. Each of the nine manipulatives has a work area with toolbar, activities and questions to be answered, and a notepad for recording data and results.
