Bucking the Current Trend: Fundamental Approaches to
Teaching Kż6 Mathematics
Teaching K–6
Mathematics
By Douglas K. Brumbaugh, David Rock, Linda S. Brumbaugh, and Michelle
Rock. Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum, 2003. 221 pp. Paper, $34.50.
Most mathematics method textbooks are highly technical and formal, but Teaching
K–6 Mathematics is anything but technical and formal. Its down-to-earth informality
is easy reading and conveys messages to the reader
through discussions about how to become an effective teacher
of mathematics at the elementary school level. The authors'
writing style engages the reader rather than prescribing
what to do in the classroom.
