Implementing the CCSSM through Problem Solving, K-2

Connect the Process of Problem Solving with the Content of the Common Core
Mathematics educators have long worked to help students to develop problem-solving skills. More recently, they have sought to provide students with the knowledge in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). This volume is the second in a series from NCTM that equips classroom teachers with targeted, highly effective problems for achieving both goals at once. For every mathematics educator, the books in this series will illuminate a crucial link between problem solving and the Common Core State Standards.

Early childhood educators can open this treasure chest to find enriching answers to the questions:

- How can we match the active ways that young children learn mathematical content and strategies while connecting with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics?

- How can we provide specific game formats and engaging tasks that attract children with opportunities to solve mathematical problems that are both challenging and attainable?
