I want this book pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease:
How the brain learns mathematics
David A. Sousa
Corwin Press, 2008 - 244 pages
Learn how the brain processes mathematical concepts and why some students develop math anxiety!
Highly respected author and researcher David A. Sousa explains the latest neuroscientific findings in practical, understandable terms and discusses the impact this information has for teaching mathematics at all grade levels. How the Brain Learns Mathematics covers the cognitive mechanisms for learning mathematics, the environmental and developmental factors that contribute to mathematics difficulties, and ways to differentiate mathematics instruction.
The text offers a unique and simplified four-step model for teaching mathematics to PreK-12 students that helps teachers consistently relate what learners experience in the classroom to concrete, real-world applications. Based on primary research, this award-winning text also examines:

- Children's innate number sense and how the brain develops an understanding of number relationships
- Rationales for modifying lessons to meet the developmental learning stages of young children, preadolescents, and adolescents
- How to plan lessons in PreK-12 mathematics
- Implications of current research for planning mathematics lessons, including discoveries about memory systems and lesson timing
- Methods to help elementary and secondary school teachers detect mathematics difficulties
- Clear connections to the NCTM standards and curriculum focal points
