"Catalyzing Change in Elementary and Early Childhood Mathematics presents four key recommendations to guide conversations that take a critical look at current mathematics programs in order to identify practices, policies, and instructional approaches that hinder any child from becoming confident and capable mathematics learners. The book uses classroom vignettes and student work to illustrate how the eight effective mathematics teaching practices form a framework for equitable instruction and to discuss the teaching of important mathematics topics in number and operations, early algebra, geometry, and data"-- Provided by publisher.
