"This book is awesome! What stood out to me was the deep
understanding I was able to have about what fluency actually means.
Too often the message has been fluency and accuracy, especially at
the middle school level. By providing teachers with tools for
building fluency with integers, expressions, and algebra, this book
shifts that message to also focus on flexibility and strategy
selection." Lindsey Henderson Secondary Mathematics Specialist,
Utah State Board of Education Salt Lake City, UT Because fluency
practice is not a worksheet. Fluency in mathematics is more than
adeptly using basic facts or implementing algorithms. It is not
about speed or recall. Real fluency is about choosing strategies
that are efficient, flexible, lead to accurate solutions, and are
appropriate for the given situation. Developing fluency is also a
matter of equity and access for all learners. The landmark book

On the Money: Mathematics Activities to Build Financial Literacy,
K– Grade 5 provides elementary teachers with the opportunity to
integrate lessons into their classroom that use mathematics to
model financial literacy concepts and skills, while also using
financial concepts and skills to appropriately model mathematics.
Its seventeen chapters help students develop their mathematical and
financial knowledge through activities such as sorting coins,
saving money, sticking to a budget, and starting to earn money of
your own. Each activity is aligned with the relevant Common Core
Standards and the Jump$tart Financial Literacy Standards.

Give High School Students the Financial and Mathematical
Proficiency They Need for Success As high school students make more
and more important decisions, their need for financial literacy
increases significantly. To succeed in life, they need both an
understanding of financial issues and the math skills to make
financially sound choices. With all the requirements and standards
to be met in high schools today, how can teachers find room to
include financial literacy? The key is to integrate financial
topics into mathematics instruction, using everyday topics to bring
math concepts to life. This book's ten chapters provide lessons and
activities on important financial skills to handle such experiences
as making investments, buying insurance, understanding a credit
score, leasing or buying a car, and choosing and paying for
education after high school. The related mathematical skills
include analyzing and representing data, evaluating probabilities,
modeling real-life situations, creating functions, and more. Each
chapter includes: a "Balance Sheet" summing up the mathematical and
financial literacy knowledge that students will take from the
lesson relevant Common Core mathematics standards and practices and
Jump$tart financial literacy standards a full lesson plan, complete
with sections on the "Sales Pitch," the "Fine Print," and "Closing
the Deal" activity sheets and other classroom material, which are
also available for download at NCTM's More4U website; and
suggestions for extended learning, including references and
resources. Help students learn how money works and how they can
make it work for them.
To succeed in college, career, and life, students need to become
financially literate. But understanding the basics of a long-term
investment or a short-term loan is not enough without the math
skills to make financially sound choices. In the already full
curriculum of middle schools today, how can teachers find room to
include financial literacy? The key is to integrate financial
topics into mathematics instruction, using everyday topics such as
spending, saving, and earning to bring math concepts to life. On
the Money: Math Activities to Build Financial Literacy, Grades 6-8
does exactly that. The fourteen chapters in On the Money provide
lessons and activities on such financial topics as jobs and net
pay, sales discounts, credit card management, car insurance, and
paying for college. The related mathematical skills include
determining percentages, analyzing and representing data,
evaluating probabilities, creating functions, and more. Each
chapter includes- a "Balance Sheet" summing up the mathematical and
financial literacy knowledge that students will take from the
lesson; relevant Common Core mathematics standards and practices
and Jump$tart financial literacy standards; a full lesson plan,
complete with sections on the "Sales Pitch," the "Fine Print," and
"Closing the Deal"; downloadable activity sheets and other
classroom material available on NCTM's More4U website; and
suggestions for extended learning, including references and
resources.
