Teaching the Common Core Math Standards with Hands-On Activities, Grades K-2

Start young children off with Common Core math using these
innovative activities

Teaching the Common Core Math Standards with Hands-On
Activities, Grades K-2 provides teachers with the help they
need to begin teaching to the new standards right away. The book
outlines the Common Core math standards from kindergarten to second
grade, providing one classroom-ready activity for each standard,
plus suggestions for variations and extensions for students of
different learning styles and abilities. Along with teaching the
required mathematical concepts and skills, many of the activities
encourage collaboration, technology utilization, written and oral
communication, and an appreciation of the significance of
mathematics in modern life.

As the Common Core is adopted across the nation, teachers are
scrambling to find information on CCSS-aligned lesson planning and
classroom activities. This comprehensive guide answers that need,
providing both the background information and practical, applicable
guidance that can bring the Common Core into the classroom today.
The activities include:

• Abstract and critical thinking using mathematical
  reasoning

• Problem-solving strategies and calculation proficiency

• Math fluency, and an understanding of mathematical concepts and
  skills

• Applying mathematical understanding to real life problems

Early confidence and success in math is critical to a student's
future performance. Math anxiety and a shaky foundation can hinder
a student's potential far into the future, giving elementary math
teachers a huge role in shaping their students' academic lives. The
Common Core has set the bar, and Teaching the Common Core Math
Standards with Hands-On Activities, Grades K-2 brings the
standards to life.
