Description
This package includes MyMathLab (R).
Long/DeTemple/Millman's Mathematical Reasoning for Elementary Teachers presents the mathematical content needed for teaching within the context of the elementary classroom, giving future teachers the motivation they need while also showing them the bigger picture of when they will use and teach the concepts. The program endeavors to answer the frequently-asked question "Why are we learning this?" by going beyond skill explanations and showing the ways that these concepts are implemented in the future classroom and what types of questions children may ask. Now updated to include the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, the text imparts mathematical reasoning skills, a deep conceptual understanding, and a positive attitude to those who aspire to be elementary or middle school teachers.
Teaching and Learning Experience
This program will provide a better teaching and learning experience-for you and your students. Here's how:
Features for the future classroom demonstrate the relevance of the concepts students are learning and the ways in which the mathematical concepts will be employed in the classroom. These provide perspective on the importance of learning the material and engage students to learn by doing.
Strong pedagogical tools help students to understand and retain the essential principals.
Personalized learning with MyMathLab (R): MyMathLab delivers proven results in helping students succeed and provides engaging experiences that personalize learning.
This package includes MyMathLab, an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to personalize learning and improve results. With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts.
MyMathLab is not a self-paced technology and should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Please be sure you have the correct ISBN and Course ID. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.
