Textbooks

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 Dup It.

Required Texts:

Reading Packet of articles. Dup It (on Sixth between John and Daniel)
 
Hands-On Teaching Strategies for Using Math Manipulatives Grades K-6 Kit. ETA/Cuisenaire. Kit includes 19 manipulatives, shoulder bag, and 120-page resource binder.
Supplementary Texts:
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, 2000. NCTM: Reston, VA. 2000. (Can be accessed entirely online.)
 
Baroody, A. & Coslick, R. Fostering Children's Mathematical Power. Publisher: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. 1998.

    (from Summary)
    As technology has 'mathematicized' the workplace and as mathematics has permeated society, a complacent America has tolerated underachievement as the norm for mathematics education. We have inherited a mathematics curriculum, conforming to the past, blind to the future, and bound by a tradition of minimum expectations (page 5)
     
    Everyone depends on the success of mathematics education; everyone is hurt when it fails. Mathematics must become a pump rather than a filter in the pipeline of American education (page 11)
