The book is organized by grade level beginning with Grade 1, where the first relevant standard is found in the geometry domain, and ending with Grade 7, where the focus is on operations with rational numbers and proportional thinking. In each section the relevant standard is presented, followed by a discussion of important underlying ideas associated with that standard, as well as some thoughtful, concept-based questions that can be used for classroom instruction, practice, or assessment. Underlying ideas include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Background to the mathematics of the standard.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Suggestions for appropriate representations for specific mathematical ideas, including equations, drawings, and manipulatives.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Suggestions for explaining ideas to students.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Cautions about misconceptions or situations to avoid.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis accessible book provides math teachers with support for differentiated instruction. Math coaches can use it to assist teachers with their transition to the Common Core State Standards. All teachers will find it helpful to see the mathematical fraction learning that precedes and follows the grades that they teach. It is also an excellent text for preservice teachers as they prepare themselves and their students to understand and teach math with a deep level of understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Visit Marian Small's website onetwoinfinity.ca for in-person and online professional development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarian Small is the former dean of education at the University of New Brunswick, a longtime professor of mathematics education, and a bestselling author of Good Questions, Second Edition, More Good Questions, and Eyes on Math.
