Each strategy is clearly explained with step-by-step instructions. After implementing a few, I couldn′t wait to try additional strategies and share them with other teachers."" -- Kristin Smetana, Mathematics Department Chair ""The strategies in this book help mathematics teachers differentiate their classroom instruction. The tips and samples show how these strategies can be used with any level of content, from pre-algebra to calculus."" -- Linda Kasal Fusco, Mathematics and Science Education Consultant ""For years, math teachers have complained that none of the examples they are shown in workshops have to do with math. This book is a rich response to that. All the examples are about math, and not just basic math. There are examples and how-to ideas for advanced topics. These strategies help any style of learner understand math."" -- Jody L Hoch, K-12 Director of Mathematics ""As a lifelong educator I highly recommend this book as a tool to improve student performance. Its practical approach to teaching mathematics can be easily implemented in the high school classroom. Educators will find these strategies, which are matched to student learning styles, to be a recipe for success."" -- Elizabeth Fannin, Educational Consultant ""I started reading chapters and couldn′t stop! I was very impressed. The procedures given in this book will help to maximize the delivery of instruction by adding specific steps to direct instruction."" -- Kelly DerzI, Math Specialist" Every mathematics teacher who reads this book will learn new instructional strategies that he or she can easily implement in any classroom.
