"""Daily Math Thinking Routines in Action offers practical ideas to support the implementation of NCTM’s mathematics teaching practices in our everyday classroom instruction. Dr. Newton models how purposeful distributed practice can be effective using tasks that promote mathematical reasoning and problem solving while also allowing students to engage in the mathematics using multiple entry points and multiple solution strategies. What a great resource to support the efforts of all classroom practitoners that seek to make mathematics accessible – and fun – for their students!"" - Janet D. Nuzzie, Instructional Specialist, Pasadena ISD Elementary Mathematics, TX, and former President, Texas Association of Supervisors of Mathematics ""These routines are so critical in order to foster flexibility and discourse, and build number sense.
