| Summary |
Which aspects of mathematics are important, which less so? How do teachers diagnose what a child knows? How do teachers build on that knowledge--in what directions and in what ways? This book advances 'learning trajectories' to answer these questions and help teachers become more effective professionals. They open up windows to seeing young children and math in new ways, because the mathematical reasoning of children is impressive and delightful. Learning trajectories have three parts: a specific mathematical goal, a developmental path along which children develop to reach that goal, and a set of instructional activities that help children move along that path. Teachers who understand learning trajectories understand the math, the way children think and learn about math, and how to help children learn it better |
