Mathematics Activity Book 1 provides Teachers and Students with an inquiry-based approach to learning. It promotes skill attainment and acquisition through exploration, discussion, and group work, which can lead to mathematics mastery.
The book includes a variety of activities that address the Common Core State Standards for mathematics (CCSSM) and well as the most current National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards. These activities help future teachers implement effective mathematics teaching practices that would lead their students toward developing mathematics skills in today’s world.
Future teachers also need to learn what strategies activity or approach works best, along with what manipulatives are out there to accomplish the desire learning and how to properly use them. They need to distinguish when collaborative work activities are a better learning approach than independent activities. All of the activities in this book include objectives, strategies, and manipulatives needed as well as instructions on how to use them.
The goal of this book is to have a well verse collection of activities that will facilitate future teachers enrich their classroom with engaging activities that would help prepare their student as higher-level mathematics learners.
