"I'm loving this book - I'm looking differently at math now!" - Grade 6 teacher.

This book is the course textbook for elementary mathematics education at the University of Western Ontario.

"... a good basis for teaching students in kindergarden through eighth grade ... excellent examples of how to teach each strand ... The author's love of mathematics rings througout the text. I particularly like the quotes he offers from mathematicians that reveal their reasons for loving mathematics ... I enjoyed the book and found it to be informative, exciting, and, best of all, non-traditional." Reviewed in the May 2003 issue of Teaching Children Mathematics, MCTM.

"I could not put it down and have referred to it several times since." - Reviewed in November 2000 issue of Teaching Children Mathematics, NCTM.

"The book makes sense. It should be required reading before all mathematics curriculum meetings or classroom teaching". - Reviewed in the January 2001 issue of Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, NCTM.

This book is required reading for mathematics education students at some faculties of education.

What would you do if you suddenly discovered that the math taught in school actually taught children not to think mathematically

"... delightful little book ... the book has been invaluable ... It is worth your time." - Reviewed in the April 2001 issue of Mathematics Teacher, NCTM.

"I recommend using this book with other teachers to share the test-design responsibilities and the scoring and interpretation of results ... a valuable resource to help a teacher master the techniques of assessing students' thinking." - Reviewed in the March 2001 issue of Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, NCTM.
