Mathematics for Elementary Teachers: A Contemporary Approach, 8th Edition

Welcome to the Web site for Mathematics for Elementary Teachers: A Contemporary Approach, Eighth Edition by Gary L. Musser, William F. Burger and Blake E. Peterson. This Web site gives you access to the rich tools and resources available for this text.

1. Resources for Tech Problems: There are three different types of technology (eManipulatives, Geometer's Sketchpad, Spreadsheets) that are identified in the Spotlights on Technology in the text as well as with problems in the problem sets.



2. Tutorials: To understand how to create your own Geometer's Sketchpad or Spreadsheets files, we have tutorials with clear instructions and sample problems. We also have tutorials on graphing calculator use and Logo software.



3. Webmodules: These documents are like appendices that enrich the content of the textbook. The webmodules are Algebraic Reasoning, Using Children’s Literature and An Introduction to Graph Theory.



4. Additional Resources: These resources are documents or references that supplement the textbook. The resources are Guide to Problem Solving, Research Articles, and Web Links.

You can access these resources in two ways:

1. Using the menu at the top, select a resource. This will allow you to access a particular resource section. You will then have the option of selecting resources within the section or going directly to a specific chapter.
2. Using the Browse By Chapter menu item at the top, select a chapter. A list of resources available for that particular chapter will be provided.
