Review

"The dual focus on student thinking and discourse is critical to helping teachers learn to be more effective."
-- Edward A. Silver, Professor of Education and Mathematics, University of Michigan

"Before using "Math Pathways & Pitfalls", my special needs children wouldn't speak or participate much in class. But as we went through the lessons in this book, all of my children wanted to shine -- and they did shine!"
-- Linner Maggard Moore, Second Grade Teacher

"The misconceptions and pitfalls that "Math Pathways & Pitfalls" uncovers and corrects are ones that teachers and students have historically dealt with: from place value and number errors in the early grades, to whole number and rational number confusion in the upper grades. Using the methods in this book, teachers and students 'get it.'"
-- Susan Gruebele, Elementary Assistant Principal
