In C&I 331, you studied from one of the best methods textbooks in elementary mathematics education, Fostering Children's Mathematical Power (Baroody & Coslick). You should retain that textbook as a resource in your teaching. It contains a wealth of information as well as a multitude of activities that you can do with your own students when you are teaching. We will undoubtedly do some of the activities from this text in this course.

Due to many needs of this second course, C&I 332, there is no central textbook that is required. Instead, there is a reading packet available at Notes'n'Quotes.

Required Texts:

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, 2000. NCTM: Reston, VA. 2000. (Can be accessed entirely online.)

Reading Packet of articles. Notes'n'Quotes, Johnstown Center.
