How France Teaches Number Sense Serge Filion

Are you looking for practical advice to teach mathematics? Strategies that can be applied in any primary classroom quickly? Are you looking for a creative approach? Why not look at French techniques? Did you know that French are the second nation after the USA for genius work in mathematics. This book brings a new perspective for teaching number sense. How do French teachers succeed in creating genius in mathematics? Here is a book where explanations are given to French teachers. This book challenges those who are tired of scientifically tedious answers. All people of whom this book was presented didn't believe it at first. As they began to dig deeper into the concepts of this book, they all changed their minds. They discovered quick and easy tips and tricks that are easy to apply in class. Sometimes it takes only a tiny detail to make all the difference in teaching. An example? When a child has to count five tokens, should he say the number before, during or after touching the token? Or again: when a teacher teaches a child about numbers, should he show the 5 on the number line and say "five" or should he start by saying "five" and then show it? The scientific literature is full of treasures, except that teachers have to read large quantities of documents; which during current practices and demands on teachers, is impossible. This book solves this problem. It summarizes the main points of what is needed to build number sense with pupils. No frills. In simple language, teachers are given proposed activities and condensed explanations to give meaning to their lessons. This book saves the hassle of reading many articles. Stop hesitating! Otherwise why have you taken the time to read all this ?
