MATHEMATICS FOR TEACHING Grades K–2
“Mirroring the vision of the Common Core State Standards, Making Sense of Mathematics for Teaching Grades K–2 is the ultimate experience of learning and doing mathematics. The book is orchestrated beautifully, encompassing critical components: challenges, learning progressions, math content, pedagogy, and practical next steps to close the achievement gap. QR codes give access to videos of students unpacking mathematical big ideas. This all-in-one go-to book is essential for collaborative teams in a PLC.”
—Tara Zuspan
“This book definitely makes a distinct contribution to the field. There aren’t many texts that provide an in-depth look at the development of K–2 mathematics and include concepts, practice standards, teacher videos and discussions, and rich mathematics situations for the learner (teacher) to work through. Making Sense of Mathematics for Teaching Grades K–2 is focused, coherent, and rigorous.”
—Stephanie Luke Mathematics and Science Visiting Instructor, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida
