"Neither a love of students nor a love of mathematics can sustain the work of math education on its own. We work with math students, a composite of their mathematical ideas and their identities as people. The five practices for orchestrating productive mathematical discussions, and these ideas for putting those practices into practice, offer the actions that can develop and sustain the belief that both math and students matter."

Students learn what mathematics is and how one does it through their classroom instruction and the mathematical tasks they explore. Student learning is greatest when students have regular opportunities to engage with high-level or cognitively challenging tasks that engage students in thinking, reasoning, and problem solving and are essential to developing students' conceptual understanding of mathematics. How do you help students develop the capacity to think, reason, and problem solve, but your curricular resources don't have many high-level, cognitively demanding tasks? Learn to modify existing tasks for higher-level thinking! This On-Your-Feet-Guide provides: * 8 Key Strategies for modifying low-level procedural tasks and transforming them into high-level thinking tasks. * Examples across grades K-12 * Opportunities to practice modifying tasks and reflect on how the modified versions better meet students' learning needs * Helpful hints to set your tasks up for ultimate success.
