Let's face it, teaching secondary math can be hard. So much about
how we teach math today may look and feel different from how we
learned it. Teaching math in a student-centered way changes the
role of the teacher from one who traditionally "delivers knowledge"
to one who fosters thinking. Most importantly, we must ensure our
practice gives each and every student the opportunity to learn,
grow, and achieve at high levels, while providing opportunities to
develop their agency and authority in the classroom which results
in a positive math identity. Whether you are a brand new teacher or
a veteran, if you find teaching math to be quite the challenge,
this is the guide you want by your side. Designed for just-in-time
learning and support, this practical resource gives you brief,
actionable answers to your most pressing questions about teaching
secondary math. Written by four experienced math educators
representing diverse experiences, these authors offer the practical
advice they wish they received years ago, from lessons they've
learned over decades of practice, research, coaching, and through
collaborating with teams, teachers and colleagues-especially new
teachers-every day. Questions and answers are organized into five
areas of effort that will help you most thrive in your secondary
math classroom: How do I build a positive math community? How do I
structure, organize, and manage my math class? How do I engage my
students in math? How do I help my students talk about math? How do
I know what my students know and move them forward? Woven
throughout, you'll find helpful sidebar notes on fostering identity
and agency; access and equity; teaching in different settings; and
invaluable resources for deeper learning. The final question-Where
do I go from here?- offers guidance for growing your practice over
time. Strive to become the best math educator you can be; your
students are counting on it! What will be your first step on the
journey?
When it comes to math, standards-aligned is achievement-aligned...
Since The Common Core Mathematics Companions for grades K-2, 3-5
and 6-8 burst on the scene, they have been lauded as the best
resources for making critical math ideas easy to teach. With this
brand-new volume, high school mathematics success is at your
fingertips. The authors lay out the pieces of an in-depth
explanation, showing the mathematical progression of each
conceptual category, how standards connect within and across
domains, and what teachers and students should be doing every day
to foster deep learning.
