Strengthen your math instruction and assessments with these standards-based, learner-friendly tools!

This updated and expanded new edition provides elementary math teachers with a step-by-step approach to planning standards-based curriculum, instruction, and now assessment, too. Pearl Gold Solomon covers the essential concepts and skills defined by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) using a simple-to-follow matrix that aligns activities and problems for the classroom with specific NCTM standards, and then provides appropriate assessments for each.

An essential handbook for grades PreK-5, it provides detailed guidance, sample activities, problems, and assessments, all grade appropriate and ready to use. Highlights include a rubric, test specifications, other assessment resources, suggestions for working with manipulatives, calculators, educational software and graphics programs, and Web sites. Teachers will find this invaluable when they:

  • Review their own knowledge of mathematical concepts
  • Plan curriculum for a specific lesson, grade level, or an entire school
  • Respond to individual conceptual or procedural challenges among their learners
  • Assess student knowledge, both formally and informally

As always, Solomon turns confusing pedagogy into accessible instruction, giving new teachers clarity and experienced teachers a base that can easily be built upon. This is an indispensable resource for instructional leaders, district planners, staff developers, math coaches, and individual teachers seeking to enhance their instructional repertoire.
