Based on standards developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, How to Teach Math to Children: A Standards-Based Guide helps pre-service teachers understand developmentally appropriate pedagogy when teaching math skills to children.

Over the course of ten chapters readers learn important background information about school mathematics and young learners and how children acquire math knowledge and skills. The book provides useful, practical information on developing number sense, promoting algebraic thinking, teaching geometry, approaching measurement, data analysis, and probability with young children, and assessing math learning.

All chapters feature excellent graphic support and all include clear, measurable learning outcomes. Each chapter concludes with a reflection note that encourages students to explore learning outside the classroom whether through class observations or technology. How to Teach Math to Children: A Standards-Based Guide is an excellent resource for courses on math education and instructional strategies.
