Reviews

From every corner, we are being challenged to engage students in mathematical decision making, reasoning, and communication and to help students build and use their mathematical knowledge. This practical resource is full of recommendations and tips from real teachers who describe their methods of engaging students in math. The scenarios don't claim to be perfect; in fact, each one challenges you to reflect on your experiences and explore the impact of your teaching on students' mathematical decision making. --Henry S. Kepner, Jr., Professor Emeritus, Mathematics Education, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Past-President, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics This publication offers great guidance on how to draw insights from students and truly teach math as thinking content; not as a boring, disconnected product of memorization of alien concepts. The Common Core curriculum is an attempt to promote such teaching. Breaking old patterns is challenging, but when we teachers find inspiration, we face challenges with an unstoppable force. Dr. McCarthy has always provided such guidance and inspiration, and I have become a better teacher because of it. I know I will be using this publication often. The articles and the reflections have already inspired me to create better lessons. --Ana Riehlmann, Math Teacher at Hynes Charter School, LA
