This resource offers a groundbreaking effort to make mathematics
education research on ratios and proportions readily accessible and
understandable to preservice and in-service teachers of grades 6 to
8. Using extensive annotated samples of student work and based on
research gathered in the Ongoing Assessment Project (OGAP), A Focus
on Ratios and Proportions teaches readers how students develop
understanding and fluency involving ratio and proportion concepts.
Special features include: A close focus on student work, including
150+ annotated pieces of student work, to help teachers improve
their ability to recognize, assess and monitor their students'
errors and misconceptions, as well as their developing conceptual
understanding. A focus on the OGAP Ratios and Proportions
Progression, based on research conducted with hundreds of teachers
and thousands of pieces of student work. Sections on how Common
Core State Standards for Math (CCSSM) are supported by math
education research. Student work samples and vignettes to
illuminate the research, as well as end of chapter Looking Back
questions and Instructional Links, which allow teachers to analyze
evidence of student thinking and strategies and consider
instructional responses. An accompanying eResource, available
online, offers an answer key as well as extensive explanation of
the Looking Back questions. Like A Focus on Multiplication and
Division and A Focus on Fractions, this book is designed to bridge
the gap between what math education researchers know and what
teachers need to know in order to better understand evidence in
student work and make effective instructional decisions.
