Just as athletes stretch their muscles before every game and musicians play scales to keep their technique in tune, mathematical thinkers and problem solvers can benefit from daily warm-up exercises. Jessica Shumway has developed a series of routines designed to help young students internalize and deepen their facility with numbers. The daily use of these quick five-, ten-, or fifteen-minute experiences at the beginning of math class will help build students' number sense. Students with strong number sense understand numbers, ways to represent numbers, relationships among numbers, and number systems. They make reasonable estimates, compute fluently, use reasoning strategies (e.g., relate operations, such as addition and subtraction, to each other), and use visual models based on their number sense to solve problems. Students who never develop strong number sense will struggle with nearly all mathematical strands, from measurement and geometry to data and equations. In Number Sense Routines, Jessica shows that number sense can be taught to all students. Dozens of classroom examples -- including conversations among students engaging in number sense routines -- illustrate how the routines work, how children's number sense develops, and how to implement responsive routines. Additionally, teachers will gain a deeper understanding of the underlying math -- the big ideas, skills, and strategies children learn as they develop numerical literacy.

This book is part of a series of inquiry-based textbooks for math content courses to prepare future teachers for the mathematical work of teaching. This module focuses on geometry, measurement, probability and data analysis, and is designed to be used as the text for a second four-credit course in mathematics for elementary teachers. Topics include lines, angles, polygons, polyhedra, area, volume, transformations, symmetry, elementary probability, sampling, measures of center and spread, and data distributions.As mathematicians we want to convey the beauty of our subject. We view mathematics as the study of patterns and structures. We want to show our students how to reason like a mathematician - and we want them to show this to their students too. This way of reasoning is just as important as any content they will teach. Mathematics isn't a subject you can memorize; it is about ways of thinking and knowing. To do mathematics, you need to do examples, gather data, look for patterns, experiment, draw pictures, think, try again, make arguments, and think some more. The big ideas of mathematics are not always easy - but they are fundamentally important for students to understand and so they are fundamentally important for future teachers to understand. Each section of our books begins with a Class Activity. This problem-based inquiry is designed for small-group work in class. Some activities may take as little as 30 minutes to complete and discuss. Others may take two or more class periods. The Read and Study, Connections to the Curriculum, and Homework sections are presented within the context of the activity ideas. No solutions are provided to activities or homework problems - students will have to solve them and discuss them themselves.

Results from national and international assessments indicate that school children in the United States are not learning mathematics well enough. Many students cannot correctly apply computational algorithms to solve problems. Their understanding and use of decimals and fractions are especially weak. Indeed, helping all children succeed in mathematics is an imperative national goal. However, for our youth to succeed, we need to change how we're teaching this discipline. Helping Children Learn Mathematics provides comprehensive and reliable information that will guide efforts to improve school mathematics from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The authors explain the five strands of mathematical proficiency and discuss the major changes that need to be made in mathematics instruction, instructional materials, assessments, teacher education, and the broader educational system and answers some of the frequently asked questions when it comes to mathematics instruction. The book concludes by providing recommended actions for parents and caregivers, teachers, administrators, and policy makers, stressing the importance that everyone work together to ensure a mathematically literate society.
