Product Description
A compendium of more than 240 classroom-tested lessons, this essential resource helps teachers build student understanding and skills and understand how children best learn math. In this third edition, Marilyn Burns has completely revised the first section to reflect what she has learned over the years from her classroom experience with students and her professional development experience with teachers. This section has also been expanded to address these important topics: teaching math vocabulary, incorporating writing into math instruction, linking assessment and instruction, and using children's literature to teach key math concepts. In an entirely new section, Marilyn addresses a wide range of questions she has received over the years from elementary and middle school teachers regarding classroom management and instructional issues.

A great K-8 Resource February 10, 2004

Marilyn Burns' 23 years' experience teaching math is found in this great resource book. The first section is organized in NCTM strands: measurement, probability and statistics, geometry, logic, patterns and functions, and number. The second section (a little less than half the book) is about teaching arithmetic: number concepts, place value, addition and subtraction, mulitplication, division, fractions, decimals, and percents. Each concept has whole class lessons, independent activities (menu), and assessing understanding.This is a teacher resource, not a curriculum book. Burns' approach is half-way in between the two poles of math education: algorithmic math and conceptual math. Her point of view is "practical," with the teacher in mind. ...

Excellent!
I was looking for a long time for a book to help me understand why children might not succeed in math and what can be done about it. This is that book. It is different from other books that just help explain math exercises without addressing the reason why children might not succeed in certain math concepts. then it gives alternative ways of bringing these concepts to the student. If teachers would use just this book the level of math ability in American children will pass that of Asian students.

Math is fun? September 30, 2004

I never liked math. I didn't really know how to teach it either. After reading this book, I feel more confident about teaching math and I actually enjoy it. I love this method of instruction and my students love it too. But be careful, after reading this one you will want the other mathsolutions.com publications! Burns rocks!!!

I just finshed a Marylin Burns week long workshop and was given this books filled with hundred of activities. I was impressed with the high level of math that could be pulled out of what at first impression looked like simple activites. These hands-on lessons required very little prep time and can be used at a variety of grade levels. This is the direction math is heading in our district and this resource is worth every cent.
A good book on how to teach math from a problem solving point of view October 14, 2005

This is a good basic book for any primary school teacher of mathematics, or student wishing to become a good math teacher. Easy to read, I definitely recommend. It has become a good resource as I teach Math Methods to my university students.
