Synopsis

This book demonstrates ways to successfully engage youth in learning mathematics.

Review

Walker argues for the importance of research to go beyond the performance issues and provide critical insight into students' mathematical thinking, persistence, and types of achievement other than standardized testing. Hear, hear!
