    Computational Thinking and Math Maturity: Improving Math Education in K-8 Schools
    (D. Moursund, 2006-05-03) Moursund, David G.
    This book is motivated by the problem that our K-8 school math education system is not as successful as many people would like it to be, and it is not as successful as it could be. It is designed as supplementary material for use in a Math Methods course for preservice K-8 teachers. However, it can also be used by inservice K-8 teachers and for students enrolled in Math for Elementary and Middle School teachers’ courses.

    Improving Math Education in Elementary Schools: A Short Book for Teachers
    (D. Moursund, 2005-01-01) Moursund, David G.
    This short book addresses the problem that our elementary school math education system is not as successful as many people would like it to be, and it is not as successful as it could be. It is designed as supplementary material for use in a Math Methods course for preservice elementary school teachers. However, it can also be used by inservice elementary school teachers and for students enrolled in Math for Elementary Teachers courses. One of the big and unifying ideas in this book is procedures and procedural thinking. From the point of view of the elementary school math teachers, a major goal is to help students learn some math procedures and learn how to think in terms of using these procedures to solve problems. The same idea lies at the core of the field of computer and information science.

    Introduction to Using Games in Education: A Guide for Teachers and Parents
    (D. Moursund, 2006-06-06) Moursund, David G.
    The word game means different things to different people. In this book, I explore a variety of board games, card games, dice games, word games, and puzzles that many children and adults play. Many of these games come in both non-electronic and electronic formats. This book places special emphasis on electronic games and the electronic versions of games that were originally developed in non-electronic formats.
