An invaluable guidebook for developing interest, meaning, and true understanding in the math classroom! This resource volume for prospective elementary-school teachers features over 100 mathematics-related activities that can be adapted for many grade levels by increasing or decreasing the complexity of the activity. Using inexpensive materials that are readily available to the instructor, these exercises provide creative, hands-on learning experiences developed to enrich pupils’ mathematical knowledge and understanding. Each activity utilizes the same easy-to-follow format, offering the teacher a trouble-free guide to fostering the learning process through activities involving game playing and simulation, collaborative groups, and cognitive modeling. “Real-world” activities, such as shopping on a budget, calculating an appropriate tip for a restaurant server, and filling out a mail-order form, are designed to encourage interest in basic mathematical concepts as they apply to pupils’ everyday lives.
