The Standards for Mathematical Practice are written in clear,
concise language. Even so, to interpret them and visualize what
they mean for your teaching practice isn't always easy. In this
practical, easy-to-read book, Mike Flynn provides teachers with a
clear and deep sense of these standards and shares ideas on how
best to implement them in K-2 classrooms. Each chapter is dedicated
to a different practice. Using examples from his own teaching and
vignettes from many other K-2 teachers, Mike does the following:
Invites you to break the cycle of teaching math procedurally
Demonstrates what it means for children to understand-not just
do-math Explores what it looks like when young children embrace the
important behaviors espoused by the practices The book's extensive
collection of stories from K-2 classroom provides readers with
glimpses of classroom dialogue, teacher reflections, and examples
of student work. Focus questions at the beginning of each vignette
help you analyze the examples and encourage further reflection.
Beyond Answers is a wonderful resource that can be used by
individual teachers, study groups, professional development staff,
and in math methods courses.
To help students communicate their mathematical thinking, many
teachers have created classrooms where math talk has become a
successful and joyful instructional practice. Building on that
success, the ideas in Why Write in Math Class? help students
construct, explore, represent, refine, connect, and reflect on
mathematical ideas. Writing also provides teachers with a window
into each student’s thinking and informs instructional decisions.
Focusing on five types of writing in math (exploratory,
explanatory, argumentative, creative, and reflective), Why Write in
Math Class? offers a variety of ways to integrate writing into the
math class. The ideas in this book will help you make connections
to what you already know about the teaching of writing within
literacy instruction and build on what you’ve learned about the
development of classroom communities that support math talk. The
authors offer practical advice about how to support writing in
math, as well as many specific examples of writing prompts and
tasks that require high-cognitive demand. Extensive stories and
samples of student work from K-5 classrooms give a vision of how
writing in math class can successfully unfold.
