Touch math and Saxon

Hi all,
I find that the biggest challenge in children not internalizing their math facts is not a matter of 'rote memorization' but a lack of understanding the processes involved in number operations. If you guide children| in building these understandings, they learn many strategies for rapidly solving problems involving number operations. If you're looking for additional information on facilitiating mathematics for your students, a great place to begin is with the book, 'Cognitively Guided Instruction' by Carpenter and Fennema (copublished by Heinemann and National Council for Teachers of Mathematics). | |
The book is not expensive and comes with two excellent CDroms with lots of helpful classroom examples. I'd also suggest the new principles and standards books recently published by NCTM. It too has a CDrom (when you order the book, there is a coupon to send for the CD). Good luck, Debbie ;-D
