In their series of professional books for teachers, Young Mathematicians at Work, Catherine Twomey Fosnot and Maarten Dolk described Mathematics in the City, an innovative project where teachers helped young children construct a deep understanding of number and operation in a math-workshop environment. Now they and two colleagues from the project have developed a flexible, video-based, digital context for inquiry into the teaching and learning of mathematics that will change how professional development is conducted. Designed for you, the workshop leader or college instructor, the Fostering Children’s Mathematical Development Resource Package enables your in- or preservice teachers to not only watch but interact with video that depicts classroom teachers as they listen to, question, and interpret students’ thinking; develop connections between mathematical ideas and strategies; and, ultimately, develop vibrant mathematical communities in their classrooms. The Resource Package includes three valuable components: Fostering Children’s Mathematical Development focuses on short video clips from classroom situations, providing opportunities to observe, analyze, and discuss critical moments in children’s development, and then to build a landscape of the ideas, strategies, and models of operations with fractions, decimals, and percents. The Resource Package helps teachers examine children’s thinking; investigate their strategies; and analyze how they model their world mathematically.
