Today's classrooms are full of routines. Although we often think of routines as being used for organization, routines can also be used to enhance instruction. In this book, the authors present seven easily implemented mathematical routines that may be used effectively at a variety of grade levels and with a variety of mathematical content. The book also includes ideas for infusing mathematics into the nonmathematical routines that take time away from instruction. Each chapter begins with classroom vignettes that provide a glimpse of how the routine might look as it is implemented in a variety of grade levels. A description of the routine and implementation strategies follow and the authors provide examples of student work from various grade levels for each of the routine, including examples of ways to assess student thinking by using the routines, and suggestions for adapting the routines. The book includes connections to the Common Core practice standards and focuses on creating opportunities for differentiated instruction. A highly useful book, written by seasoned mathematics educators, this book is a must-have for all elementary and middle school mathematics teachers.

Foundations of Geometry and Measurement for Teachers is an activity-based, problem based, manipulative-based, and technology-based laboratory manual that can be used in a mathematics course in geometry and measurement for elementary and middle school preservice teachers. Most activities are organized around the key areas of area, perimeter, symmetry, similarity, properties and calcification, Pythagorean Theorem, and algebraic connections. Some of the labs have a PowerPoint presentation designed to accompany the questions in the lab so that instructors who may not have used the class activity extensively have some guidance for developing the key concepts of the lab. This laboratory manual is designed as loose leaf with hole punches so that students can easily organize their mathematical explorations into a notebook that is a detailed record of what has been done in class along with any supplemental materials. This expected organization is integral to the author’s approach of requiring significant depth of understanding on assessments. Because there is also an explicit focus on the child’s perspective, the questions in each activity and on the assessments are meant to elicit responses that would match the language of teachers as they are interacting with a child in that mathematical/social context our match the language that a child with deep understanding would use.
