CD-ROMs contain lessons and videos of sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade classrooms.

Explains how children between the ages of four and eight construct a deep understanding of numbers and the operations of addition and subtraction.

This series brings students who have gaps in their understanding of math skills and concepts up to speed. "Low Gear" lessons review the basics; "High Gear" lessons extend understanding. 96-page work texts are built around NCTM standards. Units include: Understanding Fractions; Understanding Decimals; Operations with Fractions; Operations with Decimals; Changing and Comparing Fractions and Decimals; Understanding Percents; Ratio and Proportion; Applying Knowledge and Skill.

(Orginally published in 2008) The 14 chapters in this monograph provide support for mathematics teacher educators in both their Practical Knowledge and their Professional Knowledge. Individually, these articles provide insights into advancing our thinking about professional development, teacher preparation, and program development. Collectively, they have the potential to help the field of mathematics teacher education move forward in framing effective practices in mathematics teacher education and developing a focused, cohesive research agenda. ATME's Monograph 5, therefore, is a superb resource for mathematics teacher education.

Support mathematical understanding in your instructional program through this rich collection of easy-to-use teaching resources. Each book focuses on a specific arithmetic topic and offers a series of classroom-tested lessons addressing the three important aspects of arithmetic instruction--computation, number sense, and problem solving. The lessons include step-by-step directions, amount of time needed, materials required, classroom vignettes, samples of student work, reproducibles, and a discussion of the math underlying the lesson.
