Synopsis

Zeroing in on Number and Operations, Grades 7–8 provides thirty research-based, classroom-tested modules that focus on the key mathematical strategies and concepts essential for these middle school grades―number theory and integers; fractions, decimals, percents; and ratio and proportionality―while highlighting the importance of teacher language in the development of those skills.
