One of the many challenges facing early childhood teachers is how to meet academic standards while creating learning environments that honor young children’s mathematical curiosity. In Early Childhood Math Routines Empowering Young Minds to Think, author Toni Cameron introduces us to a set of short whole-group and partner routines designed to engage young children in meaningful math thinking and build problem-solving communities. With contributions from Patricia Gallahue and Danielle Iacoviello, Cameron reimagines traditional math routines and introduces brand new routines that focus on the important mathematical ideas of early childhood. Through stories, classroom examples, and resources, Cameron offers you the tools to get started right away with these routines. Inside you'll find the following resources: Innovative routines of student-teacher dialogue and teaching analysis to support you in planning and facilitating; Clear explanations of the big mathematical ideas in early childhood math; Access to a robust companion website which includes; downloadable and printable cards/gameboards, over 30 slide decks for facilitating routines, additional practice routines, supplemental readings, and a place value interview assessment; A day-by-day suggested planning guide to introducing and developing each routine in your classroom; Learn from Cameron's experience supporting the complexities of early childhood mathematics while also building communities that foster social, emotional, and cognitive development in young children. Get the tools and routines that will help you connect children to mathematics in a way that is exciting and powerful.

Contexts for learning er et amerikansk undervisningsmateriale med vekt på utforskende læring i virkelighetsnære kontekster. Det har fokus på dybdelæring, muntlig og skriftlig språk, matematiske ideer, strategier og modeller. De 54 heftene gir tverrfaglige muligheter og byr på samfunnsmessig tilknytning og kritisk refleksjon. Spill - utvikling av tidlig tallforståelse er et ressurshefte som kan brukes gjennom hele skoleåret. Det består av 24 spill som kan inngå i undervisningsopplegg eller brukes individuelt etter behov. Lek og spill er naturlig del av barns læring og brukes som motivasjon for å utvikle tallforståelse og automatisere tallfakta. Elevene samarbeider i spillene, de må dele strategier med hverandre. For hvert spill gis det oversikt over det aktuelle læringslandskapet og faglige mål. Utdrag fra elevsamtaler viser samspill mellom lærer og elever med muligheter til utvikling. Spillene passer best på første og andre trinn, men kan også brukes for litt eldre elever. Tidligere oversettelser av denne serien som er utgitt på Caspar Forlag: Køyesenger.

"If education is to be the learning profession, then we must walk the walk of learners. The bottom line is not perfection, constant success, and high test scores. The bottom line is creating a culture in which learning, innovation, and collaboration are the norms--a learning culture. When adults in schools create such environments, children will thrive." --Lucy West and Antonia Cameron How can teacher leaders cultivate an adult learning environment that will upgrade teaching capacity system-wide, and ultimately improve student learning in every classroom? Lucy West and Toni Cameron turn decades of experience designing and implementing coaching initiatives into a practical resource for transforming school culture and inspiring true learning at every level. Agents of Change provides coaches, administrators, and teacher leaders with specific techniques, tools, and strategies for working with individual classroom teachers to plan and co-teach lessons, reflect on them afterwards, and find evidence of student learning. Lucy and Toni argue that when we infuse rich learning conversations into the professional discourse via coaching, study lessons, and regular meeting times for professionals to work collaboratively, we're able to examine what it takes on a day to day basis to reach every student in our classrooms. The transformative potential of content coaching to improve both teacher and student learning on a school-wide level has never been more clear.
