Review:

"I love the format of the strategies, research, standards, applications, and pitfalls―so easy to follow." (Deborah Gordon, Teacher 2005-03-30)

"A great resource for math teachers to fine tune the strategies they are currently using. I wouldn’t need much encouragement to recommend it to a colleague who is new to the field and is currently having problems in any of the areas covered in the book." (Kimberly C. Smith, Teacher 2005-04-12)

"A unique opportunity to really help new and novice teachers." (M. Brad Patzer, Teacher 2005-04-16)

"The strategies are understandable and easy to implement...honest and reality based, not preachy versions of what could be." (Charles Espalin, Director, School Counseling Program 2005-04-12)

"For the secondary mathematics teacher, the combination of practical tips confirmed by educational research provides a much-needed addition to our arsenal of instructional tools. Particularly for new teachers, this book is like having a colleague with years of experience always at your side." (Linda Curtis-Bey, Director of Mathematics 2005-05-31)
