Review Taking Shape authors are recognized leaders in spatial reasoning research who work directly with children and teachers. This text is simultaneously a research report and a resource package. Readers are provided with a focused introduction to key research findings and generous descriptions of classroom activities. They are invited into rich discussions of how emergent insights into spatial reasoning might contribute to task designs, how designs might be enacted and adapted, how teachers might watch and listen, and how student actions might be interpreted. In brief, the text manages to go far beyond the “how to,” involving practitioners in serious considerations of what spatial reasoning is all about and why that matters. Brent Davis, Professor, Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary This is an indispensable resource for any K—2 teacher. The authors offer creative lessons aimed at developing children’s spatial reasoning, which will help them learn and love mathematics. These lessons are based on solid research fi ndings as well as sound pedagogical principles. Indeed, the research is absolutely clear: using these lessons will help bring curiosity and confidence into your mathematics classroom and prepare your children for success in a broad range of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) careers. Nathalie Sinclair, Professor, Simon Fraser University, Canada Research Chair in Tangible Mathematics Learning Product Description Enrich Your Geometry Curriculum and Extend Your Students’ Spatial Reasoning Research shows that children with good spatial skills perform better in mathematics overall. This research-based resource is a unique blend of professional learning and classroom activities. It includes:32 field-tested and research-based activities designed to appeal to young childrenGuided lesson plans, including 15 videos, that serve as models for best practice in instructionTips on observing, questioning, and assessing young children’s geometric and spatial thinkingFree access to website with videos, curriculum correlations, line masters, and observation guides About the Author Joan Moss is an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development at the Institute of Child Study at OISE/UT. A former elementary school teacher, her research has focused on the design of developmentally based curricula highlighting areas of mathematics that are traditionally challenging for students. Her research on early algebra has appeared in numerous international publications. Since 2011, Joan has been a co-Principal Investigator of the Math for Young Children (M4YC) project, which supports the teaching and learning of spatial reasoning in Early Years classrooms. Most recently, she collaborated with the Robertson Program for Inquiry-Based Teaching in Math and Science to expand the M4YC initiative to include collaborations in four First Nations communities and with the Rainy River District School Board. Joan has won many honours and awards, including the award for Distinguished Contributions to Teaching. Catherine D. Bruce is an Associate Professor at the Trent University School of Education and Professional Learning. Catherine is a co-Principal Investigator of the Math for Young Children (M4YC) project. She won a SSHRC Award in 2013 to continue this research into early mathematics and young children’s spatial reasoning. A former teacher, Catherine has been studying teaching and learning for 25 years. She teaches mathematics methods courses at Trent where she brings her passion for mathematics teaching and learning to teacher candidates. In 2012—2013, Catherine was honoured to receive the prestigious Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) teaching award. Additionally, she received the 2015 International Eduardo Flores Leadership Award for her contributions to action research locally, nationally, and internationally. K

"Finally! Someone understands!" These words from a grieving mother prove the value of this book. When a mother's worst fear happens, she finds very few sources of help and understanding for this particular grief. This was the author's experience when her two daughters died of cancer, so she turned to the Psalms for answers and comfort. There she discovered: HELP to navigate the many phases of deep grief, UNDERSTANDING of God's plan for our lives and the unique qualities of a mother's grief, SUGGESTIONS for keeping memories alive, HOPE for managing a life of loss, REASSURANCE about the future, and a deeper FAITH in Christ.She found grief to be a time of gentle spiritual awakening--when eyes are opened to new realities and hearts find peace and answers. These blessings became devotions and eventually, this book. It includes real-life stories which will lead the reader to discover the beautiful work Christ is weaving in her life and the hope to which she's been called. The book's format of Psalms, devotions, prayer and reinforcing questions lends itself to individual use or study with a friend or group. In the "Afterthoughts" section, family members and friends will find suggestions on BEST WAYS TO HELP a grieving mother.Readers' comments: This is a freeing and STRENGTHENING devotional, proving that only God can heal us, and he is more than willing. I find this to be an ESSENTIAL, comprehensive and beautiful book. It is a guide to the COMFORTING relevance of the Psalms as messages of reassurance that God is with us. This book invites itself to be given as a GIFT to women who need its message of hope. As a Biblical counselor and senior pastor, I see this as a good RESOURCE which I highly recommend. It will be good to have several copies of this book on hand to give to grieving mothers (from a licensed grief counselor). It points to the true HEALING that comes from our Lord, so that the reader can receive this same comfort and hope. Truly written with LOVE. It helped me through my grieving and I was excited to share copies with friends and relatives. Filled with gentle healing, caring exhortations, and wise GUIDANCE from a God-fearing mother who understands child-grief. Make sure that every grieving mother you know receives the BLESSINGS of this book!
