This practical resource guides elementary teachers through ways to ground their mathematics instruction in key human virtues, which enables both educators and students to better connect to the subject matter. As students and their teachers approach math with varying experiences, these common virtues help level the learning field. The chapters are organized around different human virtues – such as beauty, truth, creativity, justice, and love – each providing practical pedagogical examples, teaching strategies to make math come alive, and evidence-based research. Chapters also examine how you can evaluate and modify your existing curriculum and provide reflective prompts to drive conversations with teachers and administrators. Ideal for in-service elementary teachers and as a supplement for pre-service elementary methods instruction, this book empowers you to help your students find deeper meaning in math.

Jonathan Thomas is Professor of Mathematics Education and Chair of the Department of Teaching and Learning at the University of Kentucky, USA. He is a former U.S. Math Recovery Council board member and chairperson, and mathematics intervention teacher in public, private, and charter schools.
