Anyone can learn mathematics and stay in the math game for life once they learn key superpowers that can demystify foundational concepts—from whole numbers, fractions, and place value operations to ratios, proportions, and percentages. This book offers teaching methods to develop a dynamic and flexible understanding of numbers and operations in young learners.

Gain the educational tools needed for planning, communicating, and representing mathematical ideas to students. This book gives teachers instructional strategies to enhance their students’ natural wonder and curiosity toward math concepts.

Discover student numeracy assessment and practice (SNAP)—a practical approach to help classroom teachers evaluate number sense. With its simple and reliable method, K–8 math teachers can quickly implement SNAP in their daily teaching practices and ignite a sense of wonder and thinking for math in their students.

Divided into two parts, Celebrating Mathematical Mistakes aims to explore why mistakes matter in mathematics and share types of mistakes made in mathematics classrooms, along with mistakes made by mathematicians. It then supports shifting to asset-based views of mistakes by supplying practical tools that encourage productive mathematical mistakes from students.

Through questioning fostered by curiosity and active teacher support, students learn to construct mathematical arguments and justify their claims. This book also equips readers with tools and strategies to cultivate students’ mathematical curiosity, positive learning attitudes, and skill development.

Using a question-and-answer format as a guide through her book’s chapters, author Carrie S. Cutler equips readers with effective tools, strategies, and considerations for how to more clearly demonstrate mathematical concepts, ease student anxiety, and improve their own confidence as math instructors along the way.
