In Teaching Powerful Problem-Solving in Math readers will visit urban elementary and K-8 schools where teachers have dramatically transformed learning for teachers and for students.
Students learn mathematics by confronting a novel problem and building the new mathematics needed to solve it just as mathematicians would. Learning in this way students discover the power of their own thinking and gain confidence that extends well beyond mathematics.
See how teachers transform instruction using schoolwide lesson study building powerful new ways to learn from each other practice and research. In-depth classroom portraits at the outset of schoolwide lesson study and three years later illuminate the changes in mathematics instruction at a school that grew its proficiency on Smarter Balanced Assessment from 15% to 56% over three years.
Extensive resources and links allow readers to understand and build on the work of these schools which is grounded in established principles of collective efficacy intrinsic motivation and learner agency for both students and teachers.
