Product Description

By Frances Lynn Stern

How can I really help my kid with math? Not just with tonight's math homework, but for life?

A Parent's Guide to Making Math Meaningful and Enjoyable for Students in Grades 3-5

Homework of any kind can be a headache for parents, caregivers, and children, and for most, math homework is the greatest source of tension. Your child's questions about math homework may have already caused you to ask questions like, "What if I don't know the math myself?" Adding Math, Subtracting Tension is designed to help you develop a relationship with your child that includes math in a fun and approachable manner while strengthening your child's understanding of this critical subject. This book shows parents and caregivers how to use enjoyable, family-centered activities to complement school math lessons and incorporate learning into daily life. It is filled with age-appropriate material on the topics that students will encounter in grades 3-5, including chapters on multiplication, division, geometry, fractions, decimals, and much more.

About the author: Frances Stern has a master's degree in mathematics and has taught it at all levels, specializing in teaching math and math pedagogy to teachers. Her workshops have been enthusiastically received by parents, teachers, caregivers, and families at libraries, PTAs, schools, and professional organizations.

Curriculum Issues in an Era of Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
The Center for the Study of Mathematics Curriculum (CSMC) leaders developed this volume to further the goal of teachers having opportunities to interact across grades in ways that help both teachers and their students see connections in schooling as they progress through the grades. Each section of this volume contains three companion chapters appropriate to the three grade bands—K–5, 6–8, and 9–12—focusing on important curriculum issues related to understanding and implementing the CCSSM. $37.95
Developing Essential Understanding of Algebraic Thinking for Teaching Mathematics in Grades 3-5
Like algebra at any level, early algebra is a way to explore, analyze, represent, and generalize mathematical ideas and relationships. This book shows that children can and do engage in generalizing about numbers and operations as their mathematical experiences expand. The authors identify and examine five big ideas and associated essential understandings for developing algebraic thinking in grades 3–5.$32.95
