All students face struggle, and they should¿it is how they learn and grow. The teacher¿s job is not to remove struggle, but rather to value and harness it, helping students develop good habits of productive struggle. But what¿s missing for many educators is an action plan for how to achieve this, especially when it comes to math. This book guides teachers through six specific actions¿including valuing, fostering, building, planning, supporting, and reflecting on struggle¿to create a game plan for overcoming obstacles by sharing·         Actionable steps, activities, and tools for implementation·         Instructional tasks representative of each grade level·         Real-world examples showcasing classroom photos and student work

NEW COVID RESOURCES ADDED:  A Parent¿s Toolkit to Strengths-Based Learning in Math is now available on the book¿s companion website to support families engaged in math learning at home. This toolkit provides a variety of home-based activities and games for families to engage in together.Your game plan for unlocking mathematics by focusing on students¿ strengths.What if instead of focusing on what students haven¿t mastered, we identify their mathematical strengths and build on students¿ points of power? Beth McCord Kobett and Karen S. Karp highlight five key teaching turnarounds are presented: identify teaching strengths, leverage students¿ strengths, design instruction from a strengths-based perspective, help students identify their points of power, and promote strengths in the school community. Each chapter provides opportunities to reflect and transfer practice while also sharing·         Downloadable resources, activities, and tools·         Examples of student work within Grades K¿6·         Real teachers¿ notes and reflections for discussion

Mathematical discussion ("maths talk") has been identified as the primary vehicle for developing students' conceptual understanding of mathematics. Yet despite the importance of discussions to student learning, teachers face many challenges when facilitating mathematics discussions. This book provides a framework for "maths talk" with guidance, examples, tools and templates.

This book is designed to help teachers and students understand the meaning of operations in a coherent way that makes sense as students move from whole numbers to fractions, decimals, and integers.

Help students reveal the math behind the wordsSolving problems is about more than computation. Students must understand the mathematics of a situation to know what computation will lead to an appropriate solution.  Mathematize It! shares a reasoning approach that helps students dig into the problem to uncover the underlying mathematics, deeply consider the problem¿s context, and employ strong operation sense to solve it. This user-friendly resource for Grades K-2·         Offers a systematic mathematizing process for solving word problems·         Provides specific examples of questions and explorations for addition and subtraction of whole numbers as well as early thinking for multiplication and division·         Demonstrates the use of concrete manipulatives to model problems with dozens of short videos

This book is filled with the practical tools needed to move from teaching memorization and routine processes to teaching maths in a deep, clear, and meaningful way.

This title follows Page Keeley's bestselling book on Science Formative Assessment. It identifies and describes practical techniques teachers can use to build a rich repertoire of formative assessment strategies for teaching math.

Modelled after Jim Burke's successful Common Core Companion Series, this book includes a clear explanation of the mathematics within each domain, cluster, and standard and suggested grade level appropriate visual models and representations.

Five Principles of the Modern Mathematics Classroom offers new ideas for inspiring maths students by building a more engaging and collaborative learning environment.

Learn effective techniques to improve students' ability to problem solve, construct viable arguments, use tools strategically, attend to precision, and more.

In this remarkable book, John SanGiovanni reminds us that mathematical mistakes are not random, and when we take the time to "mine the gap," we can dispel misunderstandings before they take root.

Discover the right mathematics strategy to use at each learning phase so all students demonstrate more than a year's worth of learning per school year.

In this remarkable book, John SanGiovanni reminds us that mathematical mistakes are not random, and when we take the time to "mine the gap," we can dispel misunderstandings before they take root.

For busy classroom teachers, this practical book makes manageable the process of differentiating mathematics instruction to maximize each student's learning potential, ultimately leading to improved test scores.
