The text prepares future instructors to fully understand the mathematical content taught in lower and higher grades, build upon the knowledge their students will bring to the classroom, and prepare students for study of more advanced topics. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The book focuses on broad concepts rather than detailed techniques. Over the course of five targeted chapters, students are introduced to key calculus concepts that relate to limits, derivatives, and integrals. Each chapter begins with a description of prerequisite knowledge and brief warmup exercises to prepare the reader for forthcoming content. Students are guided through a set of exercises that demonstrate the concepts in action, with distinct opportunities for input from their instructor and the use of technology (graphing calculators, spreadsheets, etc.) to encourage practical application. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Designed to help students sharpen their conceptual knowledge of calculus concepts, \u003cem\u003eFundamentals of Calculus for Teachers\u003c\/em\u003e is an ideal resource for courses that prepare future instructors to teach classes in middle-grades mathematics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDustin Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor of mathematics education at Sam Houston State University.
