Number, Shape, & Symmetry: An Introduction to Number Theory, Geometry, and Group Theory

This textbook shows how number theory and geometry are the essential components in the teaching and learning of mathematics for students in primary grades. The book synthesizes basic ideas that lead to an appreciation of the deeper mathematical ideas that grow from these foundations. The authors reflect their extensive experience teaching undergraduate nonscience majors, students in the Young Scholars Program, and public school K-8 teachers in the Seminars for Endorsement of Science and Mathematics Educators (SESAME).
