Description
Written specifically for the preservice and inservice middle school math teacher, this practical guide to teaching mathematics to preadolescents draws on the latest research and more than 100 years of combined teaching experience.
Taking an empirical focus, the aim of this book is to give middle school math teachers preparing to enter the classroom what they need, when they need it. Its organization is intuitive, moving from the general/macro to the specific.
