Who knew how little actual thinking was happening classrooms?
This book is an absolute game changer for teaching math (and can certainly be applied to other subject areas). If you know a teacher, are a teacher, or have children taught by a teacher this book is worth your time.
This book is easy to read and the 14 practices are realistic for teachers to implement and are backed by extensive research.
