This book was written for a mathematics course that focused on providing teachers with a firm understanding of elementary math at the level needed for teaching. Though this textbook was designed to be used in conjunction with the Primary Mathematics books from Singapore, it does stand alone and provides instruction ideas covered in roughly the order they are developed in elementary school. The Singapore math approach of going from concrete to pictorial to abstract is also followed and the Singapore math model-drawing approach to problem solving is expIained. If you`ve ever felt inadequate when it comes to teaching math, reading this book will give you the knowledge and confidence you need.
