Using the Leading for Mathematical Proficiency Framework, the
authors position student outcomes as the focus of all professional
work and connect the Eight Mathematical Practices for students with
NCTM's Eight Effective Teaching Practices to help you guide
teachers toward growing mathematics proficiency in their
classrooms. This hands-on resource details critical coaching and
teaching actions, and offers nearly a hundred tools for shifting
classroom practice in a way that leads to student math proficiency
and understanding of mathematical concepts. It also hones in on key
areas such as content knowledge, student engagement, questioning
and discourse, analysis of student work, formative assessment,
support for emergent language learners and students with special
needs, and more.
Elementary mathematics specialists are teacher leaders who are
responsible for supporting effective PK-6 mathematics instruction
and student learning. The Association of Mathematics Teacher
Educators (AMTE), the Association of State Supervisors of
Mathematics, the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics,
and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, in a 2010
joint position paper on Elementary Mathematics Specialists (EMSs),
all advocate for the use of EMSs to support the teaching and
learning of mathematics. The specific roles and expectations of
EMSs will vary according to the needs of each setting, "but their
expertise and successful experience at the elementary level is
critical" (p 1). Elementary Mathematics Specialists: Developing,
Refining, and Examining Programs that Support Mathematics Teaching
and Learning is AMTE's latest resource supporting the important
work of EMSs. It has five sections related to the preparation and
professional development of EMSs: (a) Overview and Current State of
Affairs; (b) Models of EMS Program Development & Delivery; (c)
Supporting EMSs in the Field; (d) The Mathematics Specialist
Research; and (e) Future Directions. The book provides support to
EMS practitioners, program providers/developers, and researchers
seeking to answer important questions about how to prepare
Mathematics Specialists, support them in the field, and research
their effectiveness.

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.
