"There are many voices in education - particularly in mathematics-as well as educational outputs that focus on students' deficits - what children don't know, how poorly they are doing on their mathematics assessments, and where their gaps reside. Strengths-Based Teaching and Learning in Mathematics explores learning from a different viewpoint. Teaching Turnarounds examines the ways to identify strengths students have in mathematics and then describes how to plan instruction that capitalizes on that point of power. The book focuses on five key Teaching Turnarounds for mathematics learning"--

A schoolwide solution for mathematics success! When "rules" seem to change from year to year, mathematics can seem like a disconnected mystery for students. Clear up the confusion with a Mathematics Whole-School Agreement! Expanded from the highly popular "Rules that Expire" series of NCTM articles, this essential guide leads educators through the collaborative step-by-step process of establishing a coherent and consistent learner-centered and equitable approach to mathematics instruction. You’ll learn to avoid "rules that expire"―tricks that may seem to help students in one grade but hurt in the long run. Features include ·         Abundant grade-specific examples ·         Effective working plans for sustainability ·         Barrier-busting tips, to-dos, and try-it-outs ·         PLC prompts and discussion points

This is a brief guide to the five most doable, impactful and proven techniques for assessing students' mathematical understanding that teachers can implement every day.

This laminated, tri-fold (6 page) On-Your-Feet Guide is based on the best-selling The Formative Five and provides: A brief look at each of five every-day formative assessment techniques: Interviews, Observations, Show Me, Hinge Questions, and Exit Tasks Critical questions and tools for implementing each technique. Special considerations and ways to assess your effectiveness in order to plan your next mathematics lesson. Brief videos with comments from authors and teachers along with classroom footage showing the Formative Five in action.

Detailed plans for helping elementary students experience deep mathematical learning The 56 mathematical tasks in this guide will challenge your youngest students to do deep problem-based learning. These ready-to-implement tasks connect concepts, skills, and practices and encourage students to reason, problem-solve, discuss, explore, justify, monitor their own thinking, and connect the mathematics they know to new situations. In other words, these tasks allow students to truly do mathematics! Written with a strengths-based lens, this guide includes: - Complete task-based lessons, referencing mathematics standards and practices, vocabulary, and materials - Downloadable planning tools, student resource pages, and thoughtful questions, and formative assessment prompts - Guidance on preparing, launching, facilitating, and reflecting on each task - Notes on access and equity, focusing on students' strengths, productive struggle, and distance or alternative learning environments.
