Want a Student-Centered math class? Buy this book!

I had been teaching math the old fashioned, teacher-centered way for years, then as the State Math standards changed, I began to see that "do as I do" did not work the way it was supposed to. the students did it, but did they really understand it? This book was recommended during a summer inservice presentation by a University Math Methods professor, and I looked through her copy before I bought this one. I still have my university math methods text, but it pales in comparison to the Van De Walle book. Spend some time with this book, and you will be the grade level math expert! It is a real gem, and I recommend it for any elementary/middle school teacher of math. Activities galore, thought-provoking discussion, assessment ideas, research-based recommendations, and a website for more information and full-page printable blackline masters. I will keep my copy in the classroom as a daily reference. I do not regret my purchase, I recommend you get a good used copy - you don't need a new one.
