Classroom vignettes describe lessons in vivid detail, and samples of actual student work are included throughout. Most lessons implement the use of manipulative materials to help children think about and reflect on mathematical ideas. Lessons in this book explore estimation, word problems, multiplication, fractions, patterns, statistics, probability, geometry, and measurement. |
