Help you students learn math and get results by working smarter, not harder! This book provides a researched based, classroom tested framework that situates whole class discussions in the process of teaching. The process of teaching considers how to design the physical space, develop classroom routines, plan lessons and facilitate discussions by considering assessment to plan the next instructional move. These are things that teachers naturally do. However, how specifically these actions are carried out is what makes a difference! Research based strategies that naturally fit together to make teaching easier is provided. Many times, when these strategies are implemented in isolation and not holistically, it is hard to get results. This framework naturally integrates the Standards for Mathematical Practice as outlined in the Common Core Standards teaching easier. Therefore, spend your time working smarter not harder to get results in student learning!
