Van de Walle's Primary & Middle Years Mathematics Teaching Developmentally is the First Australian Edition of this book and it illustrates how children learn mathematics, and then shows teachers the most effective methods of teaching mathematics through hands-on, problem-based activities.
This is a go-to reference for the mathematics content suggested for Foundation to Year 9 as recommended in the Australian Curriculum and for the research-based strategies that illustrate how students best learn this content.
It presents a practical resource of robust, problem-based activities and tasks that can engage students in the use of significant mathematical concepts and skills.
It reports on technology that makes teaching mathematics in a problem-based approach more visible, including access to ready-to-use activity pages and references to quality websites.
