商品簡介
Ray, a former secondary math teacher and professional collaboration facilitator at an online math community associated with Drexel U., draws on the collected knowledge of the community to describe how to help students in grades three through eight become math problem solvers. He notes the need for teachers to connect concepts and procedures and aligns information with the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice. He explains how students develop abilities to make sense of math and the habits of mind outlined in the Standards of Mathematical Practice, how the practices contribute to students' learning and align with problem-solving strategies students and teachers already use, and specific activities teachers can use to support students in engaging in the sense-making behaviors described in the standards. Chapters address helping students communicate ideas; use listening to build thinking skills; notice and wonder; see the big picture; use good guessing and make calculations; organize and record work; generalize, abstract, and model; recognize and use specific strategies; learn about problem solving as a process; and reflect, revise, justify, and extend their work. Additional problem-solving activities, student handouts, classroom videos, and other resources are available on the companion website. No index is provided.
