Supplement for Mathematics Methods courses.

Rich with case studies and assorted examples, this brief, targeted text is dedicated to helping future teachers address the cognitive needs of children in Grades 1-6 who do not understand mathematical concepts and/or are not as skillful as they should be with those concepts. The authors present a systematic, three-step approach to assess students' math strengths and weaknesses and plan instruction accordingly. This involves: 1) using the Data Analysis Sheet (DAS) to assess and record learners' skills and error patterns; 2) complete a Mathematics Improvement Plan (MIP) with specific instructional approaches to improve skills students need; and, 3) set up the activities and intervention strategies to improve student performance. This approach allows teachers to meet individual needs.

"This text gives very specific learning struggles that are not addressed in general math texts. The examples paint real children with real struggles who are diagnosed with very clear and easy to understand methods. I found the DAS and MIP very helpful in showing how to assist students in their struggles with specific concepts." ― Dr. Yolanda De La Cruz, Arizona State University

"It provides a closer look at the problems students exhibit through the examples of the student's work and then gives the preservice teacher clues as to how to help the student." ― Dr. John W. Dougherty, Lindenwood University
