This book was published exclusively with the goal of preparing students to be future elementary school teachers. This four-color book is exactly the same as Wheeler and Wheeler's Modern Mathematics, Ninth Edition with the following additions: The preface was written directly with the goal of educating elementary school teachers, NCTM Standards are included in the book's end papers, and Reproductions of actual pages from four-color elementary school textbooks have been added.Guided by a team of reviewers and suggestions from more than 130 professors, the authors have produced an important revision. At the beginning of each section, goals and objectives have been replaced by statements from the NCTM Standards. Within each section the authors present the content, examples, problem sets, and laboratory exercises that fulfill the philosophy and the direction suggested by the Standards. In this edition, Ruric Wheeler is joined by his son, Ed, as co-author.An activities manual for prospective elementary school teachers has been completely rewritten by a team of authors with many years of experience teaching elementary and middle school students. In addition to a rich variety of activities it includes ''Talk to Teachers,'' a section that discusses the significance of each activity in the growth and preparation of the young student.
