Drawing on their years of classroom experience working with struggling students and their teachers, Dr. Brad Witzel and Dr. Paul Riccomini present elementary and middle school teachers with practical strategies and activities for promoting academic success and mastery of key mathematical concepts. They offer insight into what really helps students learn math including friendly descriptions of the concrete to representational to abstract sequence of instruction, procedural instruction that can be expanded from one topic to the next, assessment guides for placement and measurement, and retention of content through mixed reviews and assessments. In addition, the authors provide teachers with clear direction to implement each research-based lesson plan with answer sheets to grade student work as well as pictures of manipulations and accompanying vocabulary so that teachers know exactly how to show concrete and pictorial steps. Give your students who struggle with fractions the support they need! <li> Aligns each lesson to the CRA instruction sequence and effectively leads teachers through classroom instruction. </li>
<li> Offers step-by-step direction to coach teachers through each lesson plan. </li>
<li> Includes a complete list of manipulative resources for each lesson. </li>

This practical new text will empower those educators responsible for math instruction to successfully teach students in grades six through eight, as well as other students, to master computation of integers. Integration of picture-led, step-by-step instruction with accompanying dialogue will aid educators to deliver the exact vocabulary and stepwise procedures necessary for success—that of their students learning the mathematical process to computing integers. Written for math educators including elementary, middle school, special education teachers, tutors and home school teachers, this accessible guide will improve instructors’ ability to teach integers, and the confidence in their students to master the subject matter. Special pedagogical features include: <ul>
<li> Student Work Pages for every lesson! </li>
<li> Scripted, step-by-step examples outline how to teach each stage using hands-on, pictorial and abstract approaches. </li>
<li> Concrete to Representational to Abstract sequence of instruction (CRA) in each section of the book and materials. </li>
<li> Instructional lessons with assessment matching inform both the student and the teacher what learning occurred and where to start in order to master the skill. </li>
<li> Cumulative reviews to help eachstudent successfully retain information. </li> </ul>

Computation of Integers: Math Intervention for Elementary and Middle Grades Students

This timely new book is filled with essential research-based information that teachers and pre-service teachers alike need in order to help more students achieve mathematical standards by employing the concrete to representational to abstract (CRA) sequence of instruction with forms of algebraic equations. Proven to help students of all levels acquire and retain knowledge of mathematical concepts better than repeated abstract instruction alone, the CRA sequence of instruction employs: the use of hands-on manipulatives, learning to draw pictures of the steps, and finally transitioning from the pictorial representations to true abstract instruction expected by most state standards. Features placement test and fluency probes to help inform instruction and improve student proficiency. The research for CRA is powerful. However, there are few models out there that guide teachers in their delivery. All practicing teachers of mathematics, especially those who te

Education & Reference

Packed with effective instructional strategies, this book explores why certain K-5 students struggle with math and provides a framework for helping these learners succeed. The authors present empirically validated practices for supporting students with disabilities and others experiencing difficulties in specific areas of math, including problem solving, early numeracy, whole-number operations, fractions, geometry, and algebra. Concrete examples, easy-to-implement lesson-planning ideas, and connections to state standards, in particular the Common Core standards, enhance the book's utility. Also provided is invaluable guidance on planning and delivering multi-tiered instruction and intervention.
