Clausen-May offers this guidebook for using visual aids and kinesthetic activities to teach mathematics at the grade school level, from arithmetic up through some basic algebra, geometry, and statistics. The introduction justifies the project of the book by discussing alternative learning styles, and the second chapter goes through developing a concept of number by seeing rather than counting, using an abacus as a model. The remainder of the book presents possible visual-mental models using blocks, strips of paper, clock faces, coin piles, and other tools to convey multiplication and division, place value and decimals, fractions, ratios, proportions and percentages, algebraic expressions, angles, perimeter, area, and volume, circles, and data handling. Additional resources for classroom use accompanying each chapter are provided on the included CD. Annotation ©2014 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) - Sage Publications
