"This is a playbook about teaching and learning mathematics. It is not just focused on the content, skills, procedures, conceptual understandings, and application of mathematics, but the teaching and learning of mathematics in our schools and classrooms.From counting to conic sections, patterns to permutations, radii to rational equations, and fractions to fractals, the questions we aim to answer include: 1. How do we foster, nurture, and sustain mathematics learning? 2. How do we approach the teaching and learning of mathematics to ensure all learners have equity of access and opportunity to the highest level of mathematics learning possible? 3. What are the non-negotiables in a high-quality mathematics task? 4. How do we know if learners really "get it"? These are the questions the authors strive to address in this playbook"--
Your Guide to Engaging and Effective Math Instruction
With the latest research on what works best in teaching and learning, The Mathematics Playbook is your comprehensive guide to enhancing mathematics teaching and learning. With a focus on fostering equity and maximizing student learning, the authors provide practical modules that integrate the latest research on effective teaching practices, and answer four critical questions:
- How do we foster, nurture, and sustain mathematics learning?
- How do we ensure all learners have equity of access and opportunity?
- What are the non-negotiables in a high-quality mathematics task?
- How do we know if learners really “get it”?
Through real-life examples and an emphasis on self-assessment and reflection, this playbook empowers you to create engaging and impactful learning experiences in mathematics.
