Denise at the Let's Play Math Blog posts about a new edition of Ma's book Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics. She also provides links to a number of related reviews and articles, including "What Do You Need to Know to Teach Your Child Elementary Mathematics?" by Jennifer Dees.
This is must-read, must-think stuff for homeschoolers--especially if we're feeling caught up in that question of whether our math teaching is just "shopkeeper arithmetic." On the other hand, a certain amount of "shopkeeper arithmetic" might not be a bad skill to have. (If all kids learn how to do is combine socks, we may be in trouble.)
