A collaboration between a seasoned math teacher and a research mathematician, this resource offers balanced instructional ideas based around student intellectual engagement and skilled teacher leadership. It is solidly grounded in many areas of classroom practice, but rather than serving as a prescriptive how-to manual, the authors invite reflection and discussion across classrooms and math departments, much in the way you would share ideas in the teachers' lounge or across the table at a conference. Chapters offer practical suggestions and concrete examples to teachers of grades 6-12 on just about every aspect of the job: manipulatives, technology, lesson planning, group work, classroom discussion, and more. In opposition to the idea of a 'one-size-fits-all' curriculum, the authors explain how to integrate teaching techniques: formal and informal, student-centered and teacher-led, experiential and rigorous. Chapters also include vignettes, as well as many links to curricular materials. Ideal for math educators of grades 6-12, this book is both comprehensive in its strategies and sensitive to the complexities of teaching. For these reasons, math departments, coaches, teacher leaders, and faculty at other levels can also easily reference its content where relevant. This book offers multiple entry points for teachers and departments to discuss and enhance their practice, making it essential reading for any math classroom or professional development opportunity.

Industry Reviews

"What a wonderfully affirming and informative addition the library of every teacher of secondary mathematics! There Is No One Way to Teach Math attends to all the right topics as it practically illuminates the importance of discussion, collaboration, variety, tools, and bridging the unhelpful either-ors with common-sense balance."

Steven Leinwand, American Institutes for Research, USA

"There Is No One Way to Teach Math is humane, validating, and wise. It reads like a conversation with the master teacher down the hall: grounded, realistic, and refreshingly honest. I look forward to assigning this nutrient-rich book as required reading in my course for in-service and pre-service teachers."

Amanda Cangelosi, Utah State University, USA
