Mathematics
This page offers educators resources for teaching mathematics to students.
Common Core Mathematics
This leader companion to the grade-level teacher guides illustrates how to sustain successful implementation of the CCSS for mathematics. School leaders will discover how to support and focus the work of their collaborative mathematics teams for significant student achievement and improvement. Readers will receive explicit guidance and resources on how to lead and exceed the assessment expectations of the common core.
Common Core Mathematics
This teacher guide illustrates how to sustain successful implementation of the CCSS for mathematics for high school. Discover what students should learn and how they should learn it, including deep support for the Mathematical Modeling conceptual category of the CCSS.
Common Core Mathematics
This teacher guide illustrates how to sustain successful implementation of the CCSS for mathematics for grades K 2. Discover what students should learn and how they should learn it at each grade level, including insight into prekindergarten early childhood readiness expectations for the K 2 standards, as well as the unique Counting and Cardinality standards for kindergarten.
The Field Experience Guide
The Field Experience Guide, a supplement to Elementary and Middle School Mathematics, 8th Edition, is for observation, practicum, and student teaching experiences at the elementary and middle school levels.
About Teaching Mathematics
Marilyn Burns signature resource continues to be at the forefront of current trends and practices for improving the teaching and learning of mathematics. Supporting a student-centered, problem-solving approach proven by research to best develop students thinking and reasoning of mathematics, Marilyn presents invaluable insights in a standards-driven, practical, and accessible manner.
Young Mathematicians
Fosnot and Dolk focus on how to develop an understanding of multiplication and division in grades 3-5.
Professional Mathematics Series VI
Volume One of the Van de Walle Professional Mathematics Series provides practical guidance along with proven strategies for practicing teachers of kindergarten through grade 3. In addition to many of the popular topics and features from John Van de Walle’s market-leading textbook, Elementary and Middle School Mathematics, this volume offers brand-new material specifically written for the early grades.
Professional Mathematics Series VIII
Volume Three of the Van de Walle Professional Mathematics Series provides practical guidance along with proven strategies for practicing teachers of grades 5 through 8. In addition to many of the popular topics and features from John Van de Walle’s market-leading textbook, Elementary and Middle School Mathematics, this volume offers brand-new material specifically written for these grades.
Number Sense Routines
Just as athletes stretch their muscles before every game and musicians play scales to keep their technique in tune, mathematical thinkers and problem solvers can benefit from daily warm-up exercises. Jessica Shumway has developed a series of routines designed to help young students internalize and deepen their facility with numbers.
Five Easy Steps to a Balanced Math Program
Five Easy Steps to a Balanced Math Program is a method for educators to use the texts and tools that they currently have to create a math instruction program that will create powerfully math literate students.
Professional Mathematics Series VII
Volume Two of the Van de Walle Professional Mathematics Series provides practical guidance along with proven strategies for practicing teachers of grades 3 through 5. In addition to many of the popular topics and features from John Van de Walle’s market-leading textbook, Elementary and Middle School Mathematics, this volume offers brand-new material specifically written for these grades.
Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics
Initially adapted from Van de Walle’s market-leading textbook, Elementary and Middle School Mathematics, the Van de Walle Professional Mathematics Seriesare practical guides for developmentally appropriate, student-centered mathematics instruction from best selling mathematics methods authors John Van de Walle, LouAnn Lovin, Karen Karp, and Jennifer Bay-Williams.
Balancing Math Instruction
Balancing Mathematics Instruction provides an effective strategy for schools to change math instruction in preparation for the Common Core State Standards. These practices emphasize a student-centered classroom environment that promotes four instructional areas to “balance” out textbook- and standards-driven teaching: computational strength, number sense, problem solving, and conceptual understanding.
