Math Misconceptions, PreK-Grade 5: From Misunderstanding to Deep Understanding

This is an excellent guide to undoing the misconceptions that children learn when they are taught how to do things without being taught why we do them. As a former math teacher, I was glad to have this book to use when tutoring a child who seemed to have no number sense. She is doing much better in her math classes now.

I enjoyed the research behind the misconceptions. It also provided ways (teacher modeling, games, student talk, etc.) that would help to eliminate the misconceptions. It has a sister book that provides more hands-on ways to further deter these misconceptions. I've ordered it, and hope to read it soon.

Great resource!

This resource will not only undo math misconceptions, but it will prevent misconceptions if we implement these strategies. Wonderful resource!

This is a great book to help you plan your math lessons. It is easy to understand. I helps you teach math in a way that your kids will benefit the most.

What a way to point out misconceptions that we may not even think of. This is a perfect book, especially for preschool teachers; we can keep the misconceptions to a minimum for grades 3-5.

Great activites to help you teach math concepts. It helps teach the concrete so that students truly under the concepts.

Great resource. This has helped me with my instruction , questioning, and assessment! Helps a lot with my number talks too!
