This edition includes the new NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics 2000. In addition, it addresses the newest NAEP data and findings from the TIMSS, while continuing its emphasis on cultural diversity. A CD-ROM with vignettes of real classroom situations helps reader study teaching practices as they naturally occur. These vignettes have been improved and expanded.
This book is one of the only textbooks I frequently refer back to. I have used the book more since finishing the class than I did while in the class. It is a good reference when you have a student that isn't understanding and you need to use another approach. It is very good at addressing the various learning styles. There is also a large emphasis on using manipulatives in the classroom - I strongly agree with this.
