Intended for the one- or two-semester course required of Education majors, MATHEMATICS FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS, 6E offers future teachers a comprehensive mathematics course designed to foster concept development through examples, investigations, and explorations. Visual icons throughout the main text allow instructors to easily connect content to the hands-on activities in the corresponding Explorations Manual. Bassarear presents real-world problems, problems that require active learning in a method similar to how archaeologists explore an archaeological find: they carefully uncover the site, slowly revealing more and more of the structure. The author demonstrates that there are many paths to solving a problem, and that sometimes, problems have more than one solution. With this exposure, future teachers will be better able to assess student needs using diverse approaches.

well, he sent me the wrong edition the first time. when i called him about it, he immediately sent out the correct edition but it was the instructors edition (which i overlooked). instead of sending it back again, i emailed my daughter's professor to see if this edition would be acceptable and he said it would. so all in all he was a perfect gentlemen, apologetic and efficient (even with the return) i also learned that checking with professors is a very good idea. and it could save you money. i would definitely use him again. things happen sometimes, but , he was right on top of it and very professional.
