DESCRIPTION:
Each section of the book highlights articles on a key area of mathematics featured in the CCSSM: rational numbersproportional reasoningnumbersnumber theorypatterns and functionslinear equationsmeasurementgeometryprobability and statisticsEach article in a section includes mathematical exploration on the focus topic to use with students.Mathematical tasks that provide rich content and engage students allow them to not only understand what they have learned but remember and apply it as well. Such tasks, however, can often be the most difficult to implement effectively during instruction. A valuable resource to any mathematics teacher, this rich collection of mathematical tasks will enliven students engagement in mathematical thinking and reasoning and help them succeed in the classroom.. These key areas are all highlighted in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) as important for students progress in mathematic
VIC, the Seeker said An excellent resource for math in the Common Core. With the push toward critical thinking and the mathematical practices that help to frame it, this book is a valuable resource for teachers. I have referenced it many times as I have worked to design quality mathematical experiences for my students.
