Making Sense of Mathematics for Teaching to Inform Instructional Quality

Applying the TQE process in teachers’ mathematics instructional strategies

Discover a clear path for improving mathematics instructional strategies at any grade level. Designed for individuals or collaborative teams, this practical resource introduces a set of rubrics—the Instructional Quality Assessment (IQA) Toolkit—that readers can rely on to help guide reflections, conversations, feedback, and planning. Also included are a series of short videos that showcase how to use the book’s math strategies and tools in classrooms.

Ensure the instructional quality of your teaching strategies in mathematics:

• Utilize tasks, questions, and evidence (the TQE process) and the associated IQA rubrics as a road map for increasing instructional quality.
• Become familiar with the connection between efficient use of tasks and teacher questioning with increased student success.
• Learn how to gauge student response to tasks and lessons in order to understand student mastery of the material.
• Enhance your understanding of mathematics through hands-on activities.
• Access free online reproducibles for use in teaching mathematics in the classroom.
