Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers by Tom Bassarear

Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers by Tom Bassarear

Future elementary and middle school teachers need a clear, coherent presentation of the mathematical concepts, procedures, and processes they will be called upon to teach. This text uniquely balances what they will teach (concepts and content) with how to teach (processes and communication). As a result, students using Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers leave the course knowing more than basic math skills; they develop a deep understanding of concepts that enables them to effectively teach others. This Fourth Edition features an increased focus on the 'big ideas' of mathematics, as well as the individual skills upon which those ideas are built.

He graduated from Claremont-McKenna College with a BA, Claremont Graduate School with an MA, and the University of Massachusetts with an Ed.D. Tom's dual degrees in mathematics and educational psychology have had a significant impact on his views on education, particularly mathematics education. He taught middle school and high school mathematics prior to teaching at the college level. Tom has spent many hours in primary classrooms observing teachers and working with them in school and workshop settings since enrolling at Keene State College, and he has also taught 4th grade math every day for a semester at a nearby elementary school.
