Description

Fact-filled textbooks that stress memorization and drilling aren't very good for teaching students how to think mathematically and solve problems. But here's a book that comes to the rescue with an instructional approach that helps students in every grade level truly understand math concepts so they can apply them on high-stakes assessments, across the curriculum, and outside of school.

Author Meir Ben-Hur—a veteran math teacher and trainer with more than 30 years' experience—guides you through teaching practices and lesson ideas that give students a stronger foundation for reasoning and problem solving. The book uses familiar classroom anecdotes and lots of sample problems to explain

Why math instruction should capitalize on the learning of core concepts.
How to plan instructional sequences that build on what students already understand about math.
Why it’s important to engage students in discussing, analyzing, and reflecting on math concepts.

Mixing tried-and-true practices with the latest research on learning, this book is loaded with lots of valuable teaching tips to use right away:

The right amount of time to devote to practicing a new procedure.
How to match the level of task difficulty to student abilities.
Why student errors are clues to common misconceptions about math.
How to use a variety of formative assessment methods to reveal the state of your students' learning.

(ASCD book, 2006) 6" x 9", 152 pages. Also available as an e-book!
