Summary:
Parents
can positively influence
math
achievement; and one does not need a degree in
math
to provide support. What one needs is a guidebook filled with good questions to pose, tips for
supporting
math
thinking and general attitudes about
math
, and an "insider’s view" into what
math
teaching and learning looks like in today's classrooms. This book serves as that guidebook, and its author invites
parents
to use it while making sense of
math
with children.
Parents
and children are encouraged to share and celebrate multiple ways of solving
math
examples, rather than debate over the better approach. Chapter 1 includes a description about how and why
math
teaching has changed through the years. The big
math
ideas taught through the
grades
are outlined in Chapter 2. Chapters 3 through 5 offer detailed descriptions about how big
math
ideas develop in
Grades
Kindergarten through 2, 3 through 5, and 6 through 8, respectively. In conclusion, Chapter 6 offers tasks that provide additional entry points for engaging in conversation about
math
at home.
