The author, an experienced educator, was inspired to write "Teaching Math" to meet the needs of hands-on learners after observing the difficulty her adult son with Down Syndrome and his peers had in applying math skills to everyday life. "Teaching Math" gives parents and teachers high-interest, hands-on strategies and ideas for teaching math to learners of all ages.
