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 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.

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

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

Give math routines a makeover in your classroom and make every minute count.Captivate your elementary students with these new, innovative, and ready-to-go mathematics routines! Trusted math expert John J. SanGiovanni details 20 classroom-proven practice routines to help you ignite student engagement, reinforce learning, and prepare students for the lesson ahead. Each quick and lively activity spurs mathematics discussion and provides a structure for talking about numbers, number concepts, and number sense. Designed to jump-start mathematics reasoning in any elementary classroom, the routines become your go-to materials for a year’s work of daily plug-and-play short-burst reasoning and fluency instruction.

Create meaningful and transformative K-5 STEAM learning experiences for each and every studentMake the most of your limited instructional time and become part of the Step into STEAM movement! Seamlessly design and implement K-5 STEAM inquiries that align carefully to key mathematics and science content and practices and prepare elementary students for their bright futures. Taking an opposite approach to existing resources that provide collections of disjointed STEAM activities, this book empowers teachers and schools to build cohesive and sustainable STEAM infrastructures—grounded in grade-level standards and purposeful assessment—to deepen the mathematics and science learning of each and every student.
