More than 80 games and activities in this newly updated edition help kids ages 8 to 12 think critically about math instead of just memorizing rules. Group and individual games teach fun, useful ways to manipulate odd and even numbers, prime and composite numbers, common and decimal fractions, and factors, divisors and multiples of numbers. Counting, calculating and writing numbers in languages from other cultures, such as China and Egypt, provide more practice in understanding how numbers work. Riddles, puzzles, number tricks and calculator games boost estimating and computation skills for every math student.

More than eighty math activities and number games help kids to think intuitively about math, emphasizing the underlying relationships between numbers and the process of manipulating them and covering such topics as estimation, prime numbers, fractions, and more. Original.

Short and highly accessible book that guides readers in recommending evaluation and testing for math learning disabilities.

Shows how to encourage the meaningful learning of mathematics and lead students to develop number sense. Includes bibliographical references.

Philosophers have spent millennia accumulating knowledge about knowledge. But negative epistemological phenomena, such as ignorance, falsity, and delusion, are persistently overlooked. Markus Gabriel argues that being wrong is part and parcel of subjectivity itself, adding a novel perspective on epistemic failures to the work of New Realism.

Measurement can develop in the earliest years from children's experience and it readily lends itself to real-world application. Focusing on research and practise, NCTM's 2003 yearbook presents current thinking about the learning and teaching of measurement, including students' understanding, the mathematics of measurement, estimation and approximation, connections and pedagogy. The companion booklet, which not only illustrates some of the issues from the yearbook but also contains activities that go beyond the content, contains teaching notes and ready-to-use handouts.
