Teaching to Intuition: Mathematics offers original strategies on essential elementary- and middle-school math curriculum that can be directly applied in classrooms by teachers and in a homeschool setting by parents. It challenges explicit instruction approaches that favor an accumulation of memorized rules, and instead awakens students’ innate curiosities, builds connections with the real world, and nurtures a joy of discovery. Topics covered in this book include arithmetic with positive and negative numbers, the order of operations, fractions, number lines, equity in education, and many more. At its core, Teaching to Intuition: Mathematics strives to give all students a solid grasp of math fundamentals to help better navigate the world, from the ordinary trip to the supermarket to future STEM jobs.
