Are you interested in the Enneagram, but want to explore your personality more fully than a single number result? Discover how the Enneagram can be paired with the power of the gospel in this revolutionary and transformative guide for Enneagram beginners and experts alike. We are all made up of parts. Have you ever said, "Part of me wants to go to the party, but part of me wants to stay home"? We already speak in these terms without realizing it.

In this book, the authors move away from the long lists of formative assessment techniques teachers have seen in the past. They have spent two years with teachers in real classrooms, boiling the practice down to five essential techniques that will move the needle in learning. These techniques are all realistic, manageable, can be built into lessons and applied every single day. They are: Observation, Interviews, "Show Me," Hinge Questions, and Exit Tasks. This book delves into each of these five techniques, offering particular tools to guide the use of each of the techniques, and suggested activities (at primary, intermediate, and middle grade levels) for their use. These activities will focus on the mathematics at each grade level and will co-reference Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and other similar standards.

"This book is a game changer! Strengths-Based Teaching and Learning in Mathematics: 5 Teaching Turnarounds for Grades K- 6 goes beyond simply providing information by sharing a pathway for changing practice. . . Focusing on our students' strengths should be routine and can be lost in the day-to-day teaching demands. A teacher using these approaches can change the trajectory of students' lives forever. All teachers need this resource! Connie S. Schrock Emporia State University National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics President, 2017-2019 NEW COVID RESOURCES ADDED: A Parent's Toolkit to Strengths-Based Learning in Math is now available on the book's companion website to support families engaged in math learning at home. This toolkit provides a variety of home-based activities and games for families to engage in together. Your game plan for unlocking mathematics by focusing on students' strengths. We often evaluate student thinking and their work from a deficit point of view, particularly in mathematics, where many teachers have been taught that their role is to diagnose and eradicate students' misconceptions. But what if instead of focusing on what students don't know or haven't mastered, we identify their mathematical strengths and build next instructional steps on students' points of power? Beth McCord Kobett and Karen S. Karp answer this question and others by highlighting five key teaching turnarounds for improving students' mathematics learning: identify teaching strengths, discover and leverage students' strengths, design instruction from a strengths-based perspective, help students identify their points of power, and promote strengths in the school community and at home. Each chapter provides opportunities to stop and consider current practice, reflect, and transfer practice while also sharing * Downloadable resources, activities, and tools * Examples of student work within Grades K-6 * Real teachers' notes and reflections for discussion It's time to turn around our approach to mathematics instruction, end deficit thinking, and nurture each student's mathematical strengths by emphasizing what makes them each unique and powerful.
