I'd be really interested in the one that includes measurement. Also, my kid is in first grade, but I have the second grade book right now. It's good to see where we're going but I'd like to read more about what her first graders were doing. It's been helpful though -- the whole section in the second grade book on learning to add mentally above ten -- to think of 8+4 as 8 + (2+2) for instance -- has given me a whole new line of questioning. Now when I ask her, 'how many ways can you make ten' I also ask how many ways can you make ten with three numbers? We're also doing one of the second grade games, tic tac 15 (I take odd numbers 1-9, she takes even numbers 2-10, play tic tac toe with the numbers, make a row that adds up to 15). She enjoys playing it but it's obviously a little beyond her at the moment -- we may do a tic tac 10 version for a while. My favorite section in the 2nd grade book was reading the section her co-author wrote about how she transitioned herself and her classroom to the new approach, how math was not sequestered to a certain time of day, but became a way of thinking throughout the day. I also liked the discussions on building autonomy vs. heteronomy in a learning environment.Malkehttp://www.mathinyourfeet.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235276292454918436.post-59700107740946472072012-01-28T20:09:33.342-05:002012-01-28T20:09:33.342-05:00I should look at that again - haven't seen it ...I should look at that again - haven't seen it in years. (Link to amazon: http://amzn.to/yy5VWk)I remember liking her games, and love her thinking on student learning and number. (Also what she has to say about measurement learning.)

All the games are centered around primary numerical reasoning (lots of addition games, some with subtraction). I'm curious if you'd seen Contance Kamii's book, and the games, and what you thought of both.Malkehttp://www.mathinyourfeet.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
