Written specifically for the preservice and inservice middle school math teacher, this practical guide to teaching mathematics to preadolescents draws on the latest research and more than 100 years of combined teaching experience. Taking an empirical focus, the aim of this book is to give the middle school math teacher preparing to enter the classroom what they need, when they need it. Its organization is intuitive, moving from the general/macro to the specific. Preservice and inservice middle school math teacher.

Dramatically Improving High School Mathematics Must Start Now! High school math is failing many students. Out-of-date and stale curricula are not only dull, but perpetuate inequity by limiting opportunities and failing to prepare a majority of students for life in the 21st century. Even traditionalists recognize that the status quo is no longer acceptable. Major shifts in course organization, mathematical content, pedagogy, and assessment are long overdue. Practical Guidance for Meaningful Transformation Invigorating High School Math is a clarion call for meaningful transformation. Throughout the book, Steven Leinwand and Eric Milou address the most critical challenges facing high school mathematics and provide practical guidance for: <ul> <li>addressing challenges and excusesthat often short-circuit new approaches</li> <li>making the case for theimportance of andrationale for changing high school math</li> <li>creating core integrated math coursesfor grades 9 and 10 and coherent pathwaysfor grades 11 and 12</li> <li>making critical shiftsin pedagogy and classroom practice</li> <li>designing high-quality assessmentsand using them effectively</li> <li>developing and executing a rational implementation plan</li> </ul> A Stimulus for Discussion and a Road Map for Change Many of these ideas will not be broadly popular. It's likely that none of them will be easy to implement. That's no surprise: For nearly a century, the basic structure of high school mathematics has barely changed-not because of its effectiveness, but because the status quo is a powerful force requiring purposeful action to break. This book was written for every high school math educator and leader-as both a stimulus for discussion and a road map for change. "Our hope," say the authors, "is that this book stimulates change, empowers teachers, and guides the profession on this critical journey to invigorate high school mathematics."
