商品簡介
Moynihan, a former elementary school principal, math curriculum specialist, and elementary teacher who consults with schools and districts, shows teachers and administrators how to identify the elements of effective math instruction. She describes what the classroom space should look like and things that can improve instruction, such as a number line, a manipulatives collection, student work samples, daily schedules, technology, and a designated math center or area; the components of lessons and student engagement, including differentiation, identifying student misconceptions, providing written feedback, setting lesson goals, active engagement and listening, and collaboration; elements that should be heard during instruction, such as lesson summation, students justifying reasoning, encouraging and modeling risk taking, and using math vocabulary; and intangible aspects like creativity. Each includes discussion of the purpose, methods, and when to use it. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
