reasoning in children

This book teaches children the power of the word "no". Whether it's saying no to bullying or someone invading their personal space or simply to playing with a friend when they need some alone time. Children will learn they can use their voice to stand up for what is good in the world and good for themselves.

"The Standards for Mathematical Practice are written in clear, concise language. ... In this ... book, Mike Flynn provides teachers with a clear and deep sense of these standards and shares ideas on how best to implement them in K-2 classrooms. Each chapter is dedicated to a different practice. Using examples from his own teaching and vignettes from many other K-2 teachers, Mike does the following: invites you to break the cycle of teaching math procedurally; demonstrates what it means for children to understand, not just do, math; explores what it looks like when young children embrace the important behaviors espoused by the practices; ... [and] ... provides readers with glimpses of classroom dialogue, teacher reflections, and examples of student work."--Amazon.com.
