Not as good as I expected.......2007-09-17
The books condition was bad, much worse then described. I also payed for express shipping and it took awhile to get to me.
Great Resource for Future Teachers.......2004-07-01
This textbook is easy to read and follow. The explanations of mathematics, how to teach young children to use strategies, and examples of worksheets make this a great resource for future Elementary school teachers.

Use at your own risk.......2007-07-16
Did Henry Ford actually invent the automobile? Were there actually only 4,000 slaves in the South? Like other reviewers, I've gleaned a lot of very useful information from this test guide, but there are so many errors -- dozens and dozens of them -- that I find myself repeatedly having to seek out other reference sources to verify the facts I am suspicious of. Use this test guide at your own risk.
Not worth the risk!.......2007-07-14
The innumerable grammar and spelling errors are irritating, but it is the content errors that prompted my first review of a book. This book claims that Isaac, son of Abraham, experienced two name changes: the first from Isaac to Jacob, the second from Jacob to Israel. It goes on to state that Isaac's 12 sons became the 12 tribes of Israel. Any 1st grade Sunday Schooler could tell you how wrong this is. Such a major error makes me suspect the rest of the content. My biggest regret is that I've spent so much time using it as a review guide only to now have to wonder if what I've learned is true.
Most Excellent Resource!.......2007-04-27
Overall, I feel this book is the best way to prepare for the CSET. I purchased the online study program and the Cliffs Test Prep and they were okay. Beating the CSET has an entire chapter devoted to stategies on taking the tests, as well as comprehensive outlines for the essay sections. There aren't any practice tests in this book, but memorizing practice tests is NOT a good method to study anyway. Besides, there are practice tests available online for free, if that's your thing. The only other advice I can give for passing the CSET is to take each subtest separately, unless you are exceptionally bright and/or live for stress. Best of luck to you!
Very Informative Text.......2007-04-22
This book is definitley informative with lots of information to know. I haven't taken the CSET yet, but hope to pass by studying from this book and other supplements.
I found the book to contain errors that are minor, but then became irritating. The errors sometimes confused me and it got to be very frustrating b/c you weren't sure what was right. Overall, a great book to study from, but have other supplemental books handy as well.
Best Prep Out There!.......2007-02-21
I purchased 4 books to prepare for the CSET and this one was by far the most comprehensive. If you know the info in this book, you will ACE the test. That is one of the problems, however. This book is SOOOOOO detailed that sometimes it's frustrating. However this book, in my opinion was KEY to me passing the test. The other books helped with practice tests, but I mainly studied from this one. Took all 3 tests the same day and passed them all on the first try. Good luck!!

Book Description
Focusing on the important ideas of geometry, this book shows how to investigate two- and three-dimensional shapes with very young students. It introduces methods to describe location and position, explores simple transformations, and addresses visualization, spatial reasoning, and the building and drawing of constructions. Activities in each chapter pose questions that stimulate students to think more deeply about mathematical ideas. The CD-ROM features fourteen articles from NCTM publications. The supplemental CD-ROM also features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students, and additional readings for teachers.
Book Description
The first and only text of its kind, Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers, 2/e, offers a comprehensive, content approach designed to foster hands-on, discovery-based mathematics instruction.Students first encounter new concepts through hands-on activities in the Explorations Manual, enabling them to construct their own understanding of the material. The text then serves as a resource for further investigation, explanation, and clarification.
Unlike most texts, which present exercises very similar to examples, Bassarear demonstrates how real-life problems are generally complex and often filled with ambiguity. Students learn that there may be more than one way to find an answer—and even more than one answer.

Excellent text for mathematics for el-ed classes.......2005-11-21
I teach a course in the fundamentals of arithmetic and logic for elementary education majors so I examined this book as a possible textbook for the spring semester of 2006. I found it very suitable, the coverage is exactly what needs to be covered and the presentation is targeted at the appropriate audience. My students would have no trouble reading and understanding the text. I was going to use it this spring when my schedule was suddenly changed and I was no longer teaching the class. However, it is likely that I will use this book if and when I teach the fundamentals class again.

Children's Errors in Maths: Understanding Common Misconceptions in Primary Schools.......2006-07-14
The book was shipped in a timely manner in great condition. It was helpful to me in studying for National Board Certification. The book is not based on National Standards from the US. In that respect it is a little confusing.
Book Description
Using narratives about science in the classroom as a tool for teaching and learning, this text helps prepare teachers to build their own science knowledge and learn from students' experiences. Each science story illustrates key concepts by showing children and teachers doing science together, thus demonstrating content, learning, and strategies in action.
The "Expanding Meanings" sections which follow each story provide key pedagogy by offering the "Teaching Ideas Behind the Story, " the "Science Ideas Behind the Story," and the "Science Standards Behind the Story." In addition, "Questions and Resources for Further Exploration" challenge readers to explore on their own.
- Useful Internet resources and an overall emphasis on technology as a connection to science learning are included throughout the text, and in Chapter 13 in particular.

Science Stories is a 'must read' !.......1999-06-09
Science Stories is a 'must read' for all teachers. As Dr. Koch's prior student, I can tell you firsthand that Dr. Koch is a master of teaching science. She discusses in detail, activity-based learning. Dr. Koch describes in a clear, well-written manner how we are all scientists when we question our everyday happenings. She helps us to reflect on our thinking and to respect our students' inquiries. We can bring out the 'science-self' in all our students and Dr. Koch guides us wonderfully!
