Mathematical Beginnings: Problem Solving for Young Children

As the title suggests, this book is about problem solving. It provides much in the way of helping students meet the California State Mathematical Reasoning Standards. It is also one of few books dealing with this topic that can actually be used with kindergartners. It has great ideas for other primary grades as well. It is a versatile book, providing activities for use with interlocking cubes and cuisenaire rods, as well as with familiar fairytales, leaves and collection jars. The activities interest young children, provide them with challenges to solve, require active participation and encourage math as communication. The activities are open-ended and encourage pupils and teachers to form the habit of asking questions that further the ideas involved in the activities.I was introduced to this book by our District Math Coach who highly recommended it.
