daughterofsarah77 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Are there any other suggestions for must-reads if one is interested in providing a good conceptual math education for their child? Especially for the younger years? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Well, I really want to attend one of their live seminars... and Living Math is great!! I want to do the math lessons that correspond to the history cycle that we're studying. (If you wanna search do a search for Living Math + Julie) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siloam Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Simpler than Liping Ma, the A Handbook for Mathematics teacher in Primary Schools is good. It lays out the Singapore bar method as well. More intense is Elementary Mathematics for Teachers by Parker and Baldridge. This is actually used as a textbook to teacher Singapore math teachers and they recommend you have the Elementary Singapore texts on hand to both do workout of and for reference. Sorry both are focused on Singapore, but the ideas could be applied elsewhere. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 There's a book called Arithmetic for Parents by Ron Aharoni that you might find helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceyshoe Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Someone recently recommended Math Coach on these forums somewhere. I borrowed it from the library and thinks it's fantastic. I'm planning to purchase it. It gives tips for teaching math -- anything from counting, basic math facts, story problems, algebra. It's written for a parent whose child is in the public school system and does spend time discussing school policies, etc. But it has some really practical and helpful info.
