Recenzii
"This is an excellent book. If every elementary teacher does not have one, it should at least be available in the school's professional library."
"The book encapsulates the standards well and will make a good resource for new teachers who might not necessarily have the time to read the entire NCTM standards book."
"The research and vignettes that follow each strategy clearly support why the strategy is important and how it can be effective. Teachers who read this, reflect on the content, and discuss it with other teachers will be on track to implement the strategies in their classrooms."
"The book is very easy to follow, with practical, research based strategies for the teacher to use. It also provides me some insight to better remediate students that are struggling."
"The 'Precautions and Pitfalls" section is such a welcome feature! This is a powerful book for beginning teachers, or seasoned teachers who want to improve their practice to ensure student learning."
"In this book, you'll find out how to build on students' enthusiasm through research-based teaching strategies, vignettes, and supporting discussions, all based on NCTM standards."
"The authors methodically define a strategy that meets a NCTM goal, define the NCTM goal specifically, state the research that supports the goal, and provide a compilation of stories that depict one teacher’s pedagogy that meets the goal."

Notă biografică
Edward S. Wall is assistant professor of elementary mathematics education at the City College of the City University of New York. In 1968 he received his MA in mathematics at the University of Maryland and, after a number of years working as an applied mathematician, received a Sloan Foundation Fellowship for the purposes of pursuing a PhD in mathematical biology at the University of Chicago. Along the way, he became intrigued by the very notion of teaching mathematics and, after several years, found himself deeply involved in full-time K-12 mathematics teaching. In 2003 he received a PhD in mathematics education at the University of Michigan and subsequently joined the faculty at City College. He still finds himself intrigued by the very notion of teaching mathematics and his research reflects that fascination.
