Consider Elementary and Middle School Mathematics by John A. van de Walle.
“Elementary and Middle School Mathematics functions as a practical classroom reference for PreK–8 teachers, with sustained attention to how children develop number sense and mathematical thinking. Most useful are the staged descriptions of learning progressions and concrete examples for adapting tasks to different ages and ability levels. The limitation is that the book offers more explanation than finished materials—expect to turn principles into activities yourself. The writing can be detailed and repetitive at times, so it rewards focused, topic-by-topic reading rather than quick skimming.”
