This well-researched book uses multiple theoretical lenses and copious references to relevant research to guide the reader to an approach that makes elementary school mathematics “something [children] want to pursue beyond what they are required to do ... Askew employs numerous examples from his own experience to elucidate the underpinnings of his arguments. Recommended for upper-division elementary education students, as well as any faculty member with an interest in mathematics education.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- R. M.
