This ultimate parents' guide to elementary school math features
projects, games, and activities children and parents can do together to
increase their understanding of basic math concepts. Fun activities such
as mapping a child's bedroom for practice in measurements or keeping a
diary of numeric items like vacation mileage and expenses reinforce the
math skills outlined in each lesson. Using the standards issued by the
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics as a foundation, this book
covers both content and process standards for areas such as algebra,
geometry, measurement, problem solving, and reasoning/proofs. It also
includes a glossary of math terms and dozens of suggestions for
additional children's reading to further math understanding.
