Campbell, Patricia F.; Malkus, Nathaniel N. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
"To whom do you turn in this school for advice or information about mathematics instruction?" (Spillane, Healey, and Parise 2009, p. 413). When teachers in forty-four schools were asked this question, they were more likely to indicate a teacher leader in their school, rather than the school's principal or any other administrator.…

Leavy, Aisling; Hourigan, Mairéad; McMahon, Áine – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
Quite a bit of the arithmetic in elementary school contains elements of algebraic reasoning. After researching and testing a number of instructional strategies with Irish third graders, these authors found effective methods for cultivating a relational concept of equality in third-grade students. Understanding equality is fundamental to algebraic…

Brooks, Lisa A.; Dixon, Juli K. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
This article describes how one of the authors, second-grade teacher Lisa A. Brooks, challenged the raise-your-hand to-speak rule. Her desire to make this change was a result of experiences gained in a graduate class taught by the second author, Juli K. Dixon. Brooks had learned that it is possible to create a classroom community where students…

Higgins, Karen M. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
In this article, Teachers use "studio" time to review videotaped classroom episodes, learn about students' developmental levels in geometry, and increase students' use of mathematical language and vocabulary.This article has a twofold purpose: (1) to share the power of opening the classroom door to a community of professional…

Casa, Tutita M. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM 1991, 2000) recommends that students be positioned as sense makers who weigh one another's ideas and judge their mathematical validity. The instructional tool discussed in this article helps students engage in discussions that foster student reasoning, then settle on correct mathematics.…

Zorin, Barbara; Hunsader, Patricia D.; Thompson, Denisse R. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
This article shows how to modify classroom evaluation items to avoid four potential difficulties that limit a teacher's insight into students' mathematical understanding by addressing these issues: (1) poor choice of numbers; (2) implausible or inappropriate contexts; (3) inclusion of graphics that do not help make learning visible; and…

Benson, Christine C.; Wall, Jennifer J.; Malm, Cheryl – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) call for an in depth, integrated look at elementary school mathematical concepts. Some topics have been realigned to support an integration of topics leading to conceptual understanding. For example, the third-grade standards call for relating the concept of area (geometry) to multiplication…

Lannin, John K.; Chval, Kathryn B. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
As beginning teachers start to recognize the complexity of teaching mathematics in elementary school classrooms and how their new vision for teaching mathematics creates new challenges, they experience discomfort--a healthy awareness that much is to be learned. Brousseau (1997) notes that changes in the roles that are implicitly assigned to the…

Wenrick, Melanie; Behrend, Jean L.; Mohs, Laura C. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
How can teachers engage students in learning essential mathematics? The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics recommends using "contexts that promote problem solving, reasoning, communication, making connections, and designing and analyzing representations" (NCTM 2006, p. 11). Understanding the Process Standards (NCTM 2000) enables teachers…

English, Lyn D. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) continues to emphasize the importance of early statistical learning; data analysis and probability was the Council's professional development "Focus of the Year" for 2007-2008. Such a focus is needed, especially given the results of the statistics items from the 2003 NAEP. As…

Columba, Lynn – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
Mathematics is about reasoning, patterns, and making sense of things. Children's literature provides a powerful opportunity to foster unique experiences in mathematics learning. Storybooks, thinking strategies, and manipulatives offer a winning combination for mastering multiplication facts based on conceptual ideas and relationships. The most…

Kaplan, Rochelle Goldberg; Alon, Sandra – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
Technology has the potential to make complex and abstract mathematical ideas more accessible to students, especially to those who have difficulties with challenging curricular concepts (NCTM 2000, NCTM 2008). What one sometimes forgets is that technology is a tool and, like any tool, can be used productively only in the hands of a skilled…

Chrisler, Kelly S. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
What role should technology play in instruction? One of the greatest challenges of teaching is preparing the citizens of tomorrow for an unpredictable future. What knowledge do students need? Which skills? And how can the author, as their classroom teacher, provide experiences that will ensure students have the knowledge and skills to become…

Knapp, Andrea K.; Jefferson, Vetrece M.; Landers, Racheal – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
The old adage goes, "Parents are their children's first and most important teachers." Yet when it comes to mathematics, parents often feel inadequate to help their children with homework tasks, let alone teach them important content. Compounding the problem of low parental knowledge of mathematics, parents' "perceived" inadequacies or indifference…

Cengiz, Nesrin – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2013
Whole-group classroom discussions about solutions allow teachers to promote reasoning that moves students beyond merely noticing mathematical ideas toward developing a well-connected knowledge of concepts. Creating classroom environments where teachers promote reasoning and engage students in investigating important mathematical phenomena is…
