Seeing is believing with this interactive approach to math instruction
Do you ever wish your students could read each other’s thoughts? Now they can—and so can you! This newest book by veteran mathematics educators provides instructional strategies for maximizing students’ mathematics comprehension by integrating visual thinking into the classroom. Included are numerous grade-specific sample problems for teaching essential concepts such as number sense, fractions, and estimation. Among the many benefits of visible thinking are:
<ul>
<li>Interactive student-to-student learning</li> <li>Increased class participation</li> <li>Development of metacognitive thinking and problem-solving skills</li>
</ul>

Rigor put within reach! Rigor: The Common Core has made it policy―and this first-of-its-kind guide takes math teachers and leaders through the process of making it reality. Using the Proficiency Matrix as a framework, the authors offer proven strategies and practical tools for successful implementation of the CCSS mathematical practices―with rigor as a central objective. You’ll learn how to  Define rigor in the context of each mathematical practice Identify and overcome potential issues, including differentiating instruction and using data Relate specific roles and goals for all stakeholders Use assessment tools to guide work and monitor progress

This book is modeled after Jim Burke’s successful Common Core Companion Series. It is the first of two books (K-2, 3-5) in the series. The book will include a clear explanation of the mathematics within each domain, cluster, and standard and suggested grade level appropriate visual models and representations. It is a book for math teachers who may or may not be math specialists. As teachers plan and develop their curriculum, this book will help them determine important mathematics in a cluster and how that mathematics connects from one grade to the next as well as within a grade.

"The Common Core Mathematics Companion 6-8 offers a practical guide for implementing the CCSS Math Standards. Teachers will appreciate the misconception alerts and ideas for differentiation." ― Jay McTighe, Author and Consultant When it comes to math, standards-aligned is achievement-aligned… In the short time since The Common Core Mathematics Companions, Grades K-2 and 3-5 burst on the scene, they have been lauded as the best resources for making critical math ideas easy to teach. With this brand-new 6-8 volume, middle school math success is at your fingertips. Page by page, the authors lay out the pieces to a cutting-edge curriculum, helping you to: <ul>
<li>Get the inside scoop on which standards connect, what key vocabulary means, and time-saving tables showing where to focus instruction for each grade </li> <li>Write curriculum for: ratios and proportional relationships, the number system, expressions and equations, functions, geometry, and statistics &amp; probability</li> <li>Use the What to Teach pages to deliver powerful standards-based lessons </li> <li>Learn effective techniques to create an environment where all students can experience math break-throughs</li> <li>Incorporate the Standards for Mathematical Practice to improve students’ ability to problem solve, construct viable arguments, use tools strategically, attend to precision, and more </li> </ul>
The Common Core Mathematics Companion, Grades 6–8 has what every middle school needs to provide students with the foundation for the concepts and skills they will be expected to know in grade 9–12. Ruth Harbin Miles is a mathematics coach, with special expertise in developing teachers’ content knowledge and strategies for engaging students to achieve high mathematics standards. A serving member on the Board of Directors for the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics, Ruth is a co-author with Linda Gojak of The Common Core Mathematics Companions, K–2 and 3–5 (Corwin). Lois Williams, Ed.D., who taught mathematics in grades K–8 for 20 years, is currently an adjunct professor at Mary Baldwin College and an International Fellow with the Charles A. Dana Center, training teachers in the College and Career Readiness Standards She has been honored with a Fulbright Teacher Exchange and the Virginia Middle School Mathematics Teacher of the Year award.

Transforming the standards into learning outcomes just got a lot easier In this expansion of the original popular Common Core Mathematics Companions, you can see in an instant how teaching to your state standards should look and sound in the classroom. Under the premise that math is math, the authors provide a Cross-Referencing Index for states implementing their own specific mathematics standards, showing which of your standards are the same as CCSS-M, which differ and how―and which page number to turn to for standards-based teaching ideas. It’s all here, page by page: <ul>
<li>The mathematics embedded in each standard for a deeper understanding of the content</li> <li>Examples of what effective teaching and learning look like in the classroom </li> <li>Connected standards within each domain so teachers can better appreciate how they relate</li> <li>Priorities within clusters so teachers know where to focus their time</li> <li>The three components of rigor: conceptual understanding, procedural skills, and applications</li> <li>Vocabulary and suggested materials for each grade-level band with explicit connections to the standards</li> <li>Common student misconceptions around key mathematical ideas with ways to address them</li> <li>Sample lesson plans and lesson planning templates</li> <li>Cross-referenced index listing the standards in the following states, explaining what is unique to the standards of each state</li> </ul>
Your Mathematics Standards Companion is your one-stop guide for teaching, planning, assessing, collaborating, and designing powerful mathematics curriculum.
