Riassunto:

The new eighth edition of this successful book presents the tools to help children learn mathematical concepts and skills while utilizing important problem-solving techniques. In the process, it challenges the readers and further stimulates their interest in mathematics. The book is built around three main themes: helping children make sense of mathematics, incorporating field-experiences, and emphasizing major ideas detailed in the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Principles and Standards for School Mathematics.
